She reconnected with a daughter (Lisa Wright) she put up for adoption in 1964, when Lisa found Lynne's brother through a DNA test.

A former Playboy bunny in Los Angeles' Sunset Boulevard club.

Even though she was not retained in the final casting of The Jeffersons (1975) spin-off, she ironically ended up making guest appearances as other characters in the series in later years.

Along with Georg Stanford Brown, she is one of only two actors to play the same character (Irene Harvey) in both Roots (1977) and Roots: The Next Generations (1979).

Studied at the Pasadena Playhouse.

[about the daughter she gave up for adoption] When she was born, they covered my face, my eyes, so I couldn't see her, but I could hear her cry! All I could say was 'I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby! I'm sorry!', and as a mother you never ever ever forget, during those 50 years all I did was try to learn how to live with it. I didn't know if she was hungry, if she was alive, if she was happy, if she was adopted.
