She was the original actress who played Nancy on the Spelling-Goldberg drama Family during the first season, before being replaced by Meredith Baxter in the following season.

I've seen it. Her role is pretty small in it, but in the mid '80s her acting work was more and more limited, probably because she was more committed to stage work and playwriting.

Never heard of her either.

I had never heard of this actress either until seeing this thread now. And I have heard about Family (not seen it though), but didn't know Meredith Baxter didn't become the Family star until season 2.

I just looked up the episode guide, season 1 of Family with this actress was barely there at just six episodes.

She appeared in only four, but was credited in all six.

She was really good in the Walton's episode The Job. She plays the blind girl John Boy gets a job reading to.

Nobody could sob and have a meltdown as good as her.

But some people said she was unattractive and couldn't act at all, especially her brief stint on Family. What were they smoking?
