Joan of Arc is my namesake. I played her character while still in my teens, at a music festival held at the University of Colorado in Boulder.

When I'm not involved in an acting job I try to run 10 miles a day.

I had been doing plays in New York and on a whim we packed up and moved West, I started doing commercials and plays and guest star spots on TV and one thing led to another and I got Knots Landing.

I want to play trailer trash; I swear to God.

Maybe some of my quest for success comes from Joan of Arc but theres no conscious part of Catholicism in my life.

When youre on a long running series, you reach a very rarefied, high oxygen area and after a while to keep a show on the air they have to make some very drastic changes.

My brother Mark still lives in the house we grew up in.
