It's difficult to determine if she has any great acting ability because the jobs she lands are often ridiculous, if not demeaning. One notable example involves her getting dressed up as a chicken to do a commercial for a franchise called Chicken Big.

Although Ann never fails to attract the attention of eligible bachelors, she is committed to her relationship with her steady beau, Don Hollinger, whom she lovingly calls "Donald." As a couple they are very close, even though she lives on her own. She is also very close to her daddy Lou, and her mom Helen, even though they generally do not approve of her becoming an actress.

Among the highlights of her career are understudying a famous Broadway actress and playing a murdered bank teller on a TV show. Her most embarrassing professional moment occurs when she opens her eyes while playing a corpse on live TV.

In between acting gigs, Ann accepts a wide assortment of temporary jobs, including door-to-door shoe salesperson, roving model at Sardi's restaurant, perfume sales clerk at Macy's and waitress. Considering herself a feminist, Ann stands up for women's rights –– but still expects men to behave like gentlemen in her presence.
