Career
[edit | edit source]She is best known to television viewers for her role as Linda Gioberti (originally Linda Caproni) in the 1980s prime-time drama series Falcon Crest. She appeared in the series from 1982 to 1984,[4] when her character was killed in a plane crash.[5] McGeehan read for a small role at Lorimar that led to being added to the cast as a regular.[6] Prior to her work on Falcon Crest, she played a nurse extra for several years on General Hospital.[7]
In the mid-80s, she also appeared in the highly successful American sci-fi-action-adventure TV series Knight Rider, starring as "Jennifer Knight" in the episode titled "Knight of the Juggernaut" from 1985.[8][9]
She worked as the dialogue coach for Dylan Sprouse and Cole Sprouse following the 2004 pilot of the Disney Channel's The Suite Life of Zack and Cody (2005).[citation needed] She is also on the staff at Gary Spatz's The Playground - A Young Actors Conservatory (2006).[citation needed]
She and her writing partner, Susan Shaughnessy, won 5th place in the American Screenwriters Association International Screenplay Competition, for their black comedy script, "Bearded Ladies" (May 2005).[citation needed]
