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.

A couple of years ago I ran in the LA Marathon.

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.

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

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

David Jacobs is a great influence on my life, has taught me so much about so many things.

You've got to realize that any lady on a soap is devoting her life to it, 24/7.
