Wedgeworth joined the seasoned cast of
Um é Pouco, Dois é Bom e Três é Demais (1976)
in 1979 as bosomy neighbor-divorcée Lana Shields, who had strict and
assertive designs on
John Ritter's Jack Tripper character. She was
eventually written out of the series mid-season with no explanation
given in the story for Lana's disappearance. Later, Wedgeworth revealed
that she wasn't fired but asked to be let go. After shooting a couple
of episodes of the show, Wedgeworth said, some of the cast members were
complaining about the size of her part and the character dwindled down
to practically nothing. Wedgeworth asked the producers to write the
part of Lana back to the way it was intended or release her.
