I'd never done a sitcom until the 'Michael J. Fox Show.' I'd never even guest starred in one until then. So it was definitely a learning curve, which is what I wanted. I wanted to do something new, to challenge myself.

My earliest memories would be 'Little House On The Prairie.' I also really liked watching 'Three's Company.'

I got my Equity card playing Helena in 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' and I think that's the first job I got that was an offer.

My last son is leaving to go to college; my grandchildren are being born. My mother is living with me.

I am very privileged to have the parents and family that I do.

According to the Small Business Administration, more than 70 percent of all family businesses do not survive through the second generation, and 8 percent do not make it to a third.
