Theater

Saltzberg wrote and performed the one woman show, Los Angelyne, an autobiographical theater performance where the "personal" becomes very, very public, as she recounted how her life and home were invaded by Los Angeles icon Angelyne, the attention-hungry queen of billboard self-promotion. Los Angelyne premiered at REDCAT.[2] and had a subsequent run at Theatre Asylum.[3]

Television

Receiving fame at an early age, Saltzberg starred in the ABC sitcom, Star of the Family, playing Jennie Lee Krebs, a 16-year-old singer who begins getting show business offers because of her talents in the country/pop genre. This scares her father, played by Brian Dennehy. Saltzberg sang the opening theme song and was nominated for Best Young Actress in a new TV series.[4] The show was created by Stu Silver and produced by Jack Rollins, Charles Joffe, and Larry Brezner.[5]

Personal life

Saltzberg is the granddaughter of the British and American publicist, Jack Oliphant, who represented such individuals as Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Pearl Bailey, and Sophie Tucker.[6]
