Career

Youngfellow began her career in the early 1970s in a small role in a 1973 episode of The New Temperatures Rising Show. She went on to appear as a guest in episodes of numerous American TV shows of the 1970s and 80s, including The Streets of San Francisco, Fernwood 2 Night, WKRP in Cincinnati, Barney Miller, The Jeffersons and Three's Company. She also starred in numerous films and made-for-TV movies including Nightmare in Blood, 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.

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.
