She decided to pursue an acting career after a brief stint as a court stenographer trainee. She won the Miss Orange County beauty pageant in 1978 and placed sixth in the Miss California pageant the following year. Following her participation in these pageants, she signed with an agent and began auditioning for television and film roles.
