She initially worked on Mr. Squiggle as a production assistant and was host "Miss Jane" from 1975 to 1986. A car accident left her with serious facial injuries that ended her on-screen career. During her recovery she became close to John Ewart, a long time friend of her father whom she had known since she was 15.
