Career

Youngfellow began her career in the early 1970s in an episode of The Streets of San Francisco and starred in numerous television shows and made-for-TV movies including Nightmare in Blood, WKRP in Cincinnati, Barney Miller, Three's Company, Vampire, It Came Upon the Midnight Clear and Moviola: The Scarlett O'Hara War in which she portrayed Joan Crawford.

Youngfellow is best known for her role as sharp-tongued and sarcastic waitress Jan Hoffmeyer Gray on the sitcom It's a Living from 1980–82 on ABC and 1985–89 in first-run syndication. She and Gail Edwards, Paul Kreppel and Marian Mercer were the only actors from It's a Living to last all the way through the show's network and syndication runs. In 1990, It's a Living producers Paul Junger Witt and Tony Thomas cast Youngfellow in the pilot episode of Blossom, in which she played the mother of Mayim Bialik's title character; she did not continue with the project when NBC picked it up as a regular series. In 1998, she made her last TV appearance, in an episode of Law & Order.
