This was her first real exposure of being on a nationally televised TV show. She was a huge fan of this show anyway, so this was a major thrill. She still owns the signed script the cast gave her!
Her latest role was playing one of the lead characters as "Lola" in "High On The Hog", that was filmed in Galena Illinois & surrounding areas. She was thrilled and honored to be cast in this feature grind house film that also stars iconic actors Sid Haig, Joe Estevez & Robert Z'Dar.

Brenda has a strange talent that some call a gift. She can actually cure hiccups. She cured actress Cindy Williams hiccups in Dallas while they were having dinner together. Her friend also had fallen victim to hiccups for a week non-stop until she stopped them, as well as numerous other cases.
