She first stepped into the spotlight as a blonde bombshell with a background in dance, even touring with ZZ Top in 1994 as one of their famous “Legs Girls.” From there, she slowly made her way into acting, landing small roles in popular shows like NYPD Blue and Roseanne, building her way up in Hollywood one part at a time.
Her big break came when she was cast as the lead in her own ABC sitcom opposite Thomas Gibson. The show, Dharma & Greg, premiered in 1997 and quickly became a hit, running for five seasons. Her performance earned widespread acclaim, including a Golden Globe win and multiple Emmy nominations, cementing her place as one of television’s standout stars of the era.
She also expanded into film, appearing in projects like Ron Howard’s EDtv alongside Matthew McConaughey, Woody Harrelson, and Ellen DeGeneres, further raising her profile during the late ’90s.
Now 54, she is preparing for a return to television in the upcoming Fox drama The Interrogator, where she’ll star opposite British actor Stephen Fry — marking a new chapter in a career that began with dance stages and grew into sitcom stardom.
