She also appeared in prime-time series like Curb Your Enthusiasm , Evening Shade , Silk Stalkings , Beverly Hills, 90210 , Murder, She Wrote , The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. and Blossom .

She also appeared in films like The Baby Doll Murders with John Saxon (ex-Edward Gerard, Another World ) and Jeff Kober (Cyrus , General Hospital ), Molly & Gina with Frances Fisher (ex-Deborah Saxon, The Edge of Night ; ex-Suzette Saxon, Guiding Light ) and Bruce Weitz (ex-Anthony Zacchara, GH; ex-Barry, Young and Restless ), the TV movies Green Dolphin Beat with fellow ATWT alum John Wesley Shipp (ex-Doug Cummings) and The Killers Within with Mike Farrell of M*A*S*H fame and more.

Last year, she published a book called Unfinished Business: 8 Steps to Heal Your Trauma, Transcend Your Past, and Transform Your Life , which she wrote to help others deal with their past with the hope it would lead them to a better future.
