Talk about successful! She later went on to star in multiple made-for-television movies and guest-star in other shows. However, her fame was from her part as Barbara, more than anything else. She stole hearts around the country and really proved her talent.

She is also a spokesperson for the Jenny Craig weight-loss programs, although she considers herself to be more of a weight-loss and health activist, rather than just a spokesperson for the program. She has appeared in many of Jenny Craig’s commercials and hosted two cooking shows.
