As a high school student, she harbored a profound aspiration to pursue a career in veterinary medicine. However, her desire to earn a living and ultimately fund her future studies led her to relocate to the vibrant city of New York, where she began to explore alternative means of financial support through modeling. This endeavour proved to be a resounding success, as she soon found herself gracing the pages of various magazines and advertisements.
The trajectory of her life was forever altered when an agency extended an invitation for her to participate in a film audition. This opportunity ultimately led to her securing a role in the 1971 production of 'Grasslands', which was later rebranded as 'Hex'. Although the film was not ultimately released, it marked a significant milestone in her burgeoning acting career.
As the years passed, she found herself falling deeply in love with her 'Grasslands' co-star, the talented Keith Carradine. This romantic connection served as a catalyst for her decision to relocate to the sun-kissed city of Los Angeles, where she sought to further hone her craft and be reunited with her beloved.
