Was set to star in "Shes the Sheriff" as the sheriff, but shortly before production began she was let go and Suzanne Somers was brought in as her replacement.
She said her years on the show "Threes Company" were the unhappiest in her professional career. She almost quit as soon as she was cast because she did not like the backstage atmosphere.
Remained good friends with "Threes Company" co-star Joyce DeWitt after the shows demise.
Steven Spielberg wanted her for the role of Willie Scott in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom , but she couldnt accept the role because she was still working on "Threes Company" .
Her personal favorite episode of "Threes Company" is titled "Cooking with Jack" (first aired on March 23,1983), where her character Terry, along with Janet, assist Jack on a TV cooking segment. She loved that episode, even though she acknowledged she did little, since her character stared into the camera with a frozen smile mesmerized, while Jack and Janet fall apart as they experience their own version of stage fright.
