But she discovered that it was too much to handle for her being in New York. So she returned to LA, moving in with her aunt, Carol Merril (known from The Price is Right). She kept on with modeling and enrolling in an acting class at the suggestion of her aunt. At 16 she won her first role in the movie: Troop Beverly Hills. She appeared in Falcon Crest (playing Sydney St. James), the Wonder Years and Quantum Leap.
