Girls! Girls!; Kill Me, Kill Me; How to Save a Marriage and Ruin Your Life; Nickelodeon; The Courtship of Eddie's Father '63; Advance to the Rear; Point of Seduction: Body Chemistry III; Bikini Hotel; Invisible Mom; Blessed; Pop Star; Megaconda; Hell to Pay; Murder in Peyton Place; The Nutt House; Last Call; Exiled in America; Man Against the Mob; The Secret of My Success; So! Madrid; Stand Up and Be Counted; Wacko; No Man's Land; Synanon; Amazons; Cleopatra Jones and the City of Gold; and Las Vegas Lady.
On television, you were also fruitful, lending your charms to Highway to Heaven; Bonanza; The Oregon Trail; Frontier Circus; Magnum P.I.; Banacek; Father Dowling Mysteries; Ben Casey; Alfred Hitchcock Presents; Ghost Story; Hawaiian Eye; The Love Boat; Fantasy Island; Flamingo Road; Santa Barbara; Hotel; Newhart; Night Court and more.
