Judy Landers(I)
- Actress
- Writer
- Director
Judy Landers' pleasing personality and physical attributes have made
this former Juilliard music student one of the popular character
actresses in both action series like
B.J. and the Bear (1978)
and Vegas (1978), as well as in a
multitude of situation comedies during the 1980s. Although a student of
the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, her ability to play naive, innocent or sometimes
even dimwitted characters, the blonde bombshell seems to have excelled
more in comedies. She has appeared in series such as
Tribunal de nuit (1984) and
La croisière s'amuse (1977), and in
films such as
Stewardess School (1986) and
Ma prof est une extraterrestre (1989). She is married to
baseball player Tom Niedenfuer and they
have two daughters, Lindsey and Kristy. Judy and her older sister
Audrey Landers have appeared together in
many projects, but one of the projects nearest and dearest to them
seems to have been
The Huggabug Club (1995), a
children's series which they produced for Public Broadcasting. The duo
not only starred in the series, they (along with their mother
Ruth Landers) produced the series, and
contributed most of the music to it, as well.
