Amy Yasbeck - Fact Sheet

Profession: Actress

A pretty, energetic performer with luxuriant auburn hair, Yasbeck is best known for her sitcom work and for playing shrewish wives, first as the social climbing spouse of Jason Alexander in the box-office hit "Pretty Woman" and then as John Ritter's bossy, supremely shallow wife in "Problem Child" (both 1990). Yasbeck became a part of baby boomer pop history as the little girl on the Easy Bake Oven box at the age of six. Active in community theater in high school, she dropped out of college in Detroit and went to New York to pursue acting. There, she was discovered by a talent agent who spotted her working as a hostess in a restaurant. Yasbeck made her TV debut with the comedy troupe that performed sketches on the revival of "Love, American Style" (NBC, 1985-1986). More work followed with starring roles as the mermaid in "Splash Too" (ABC, 1988).
