Beloved, Multi-Award-Winning television, film, stage actress, director, writer, comedian Lydia Cornell joins Jim Masters for this epic, extended, heartfelt, inspiring and fun conversation and interview on The Jim Masters Show. Lydia Cornell is best known for her role as Sara Rush on the ABC situation comedy Too Close for Comfort. She played Ted Knight and Nancy Dussault's daughter and Audrey Meadow's granddaughter on the series. She won a People's Choice award for her role.

She also appeared in several single episode roles on television series such as The Love Boat, Charlie's Angels, The Drew Carey Show, Quantum Leap (the pilot episode), Full House, Knight Rider, The Dukes of Hazzard, The A-Team, T. J. Hooker, Simon & Simon, Hunter, Hardball, Black Scorpion, Hotel, Fantasy Island and Curb Your Enthusiasm. She also appeared as a guest on episodes of television game shows including Battle of the Network Stars, Super Password, and Match Game Hollywood Squares Hour.

Her first screen appearance was as Lydia Korniloff in a walk-on as a girl in a car in the film Steel (1979), produced by and starring Lee Majors. Her first professional speaking part was in an episode of The Love Boat, for which she had two lines. In the summer of 1980, Cornell spent nine weeks filming in the Greek Isles for her appearance in the mythological horror film Blood Tide, which was not released until 1982.

Lydia's first major role was as Sara Rush, the daughter to Ted Knight's character Henry Rush, on the sitcom Too Close for Comfort during 1980–1985.In 1982, at the height of the sitcom's popularity, Cornell was described by sexologist Robert T. Francoeur as providing a modern example of "classic female stereotypes in the mold of Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield".

Lydia Cornell's great-great grandmother was Harriet Beecher Stowe.

A children’s advocate, Ms. Cornell is passionate about helping orphans and underprivileged children. Her other passion is fighting drug and alcohol abuse. Profits from her ventures go to various children’s charities, including Give Kids a Break, Girls Inc. and Feed the Children. Lydia is also an inspirational public speaker.
