Biography

Early life

Howard was born and raised in Marshall, Texas where she was recognized for acting talent; winning a UIL award for Best Actress while she was in high school. Upon graduating from Marshall High School, Howard attend the University of Texas for two years where she was a member of the Gamma Phi Beta sorority before leaving for Los Angeles to join the Los Angeles Repertory Company.

Career

Howard had several guest appearances on major television shows during the 1960s and early 70s including; "The Flying Nun" (1967), "I Dream of Jeannie" (1968), "Star Trek" (1968), "Bonanza" (1969), and "" (1972).

In 1974 Howard was cast as the co-star in the NBC series "Petrocelli." Howard's performance was subsequently nominated for both the Golden Globe and Emmy awards. Despite critical acclaim for Howard, the series was canceled in 1976. Howard would return to guest spots including one on "The Love Boat" in 1980 and initially a 1979 appearance on "Dallas" as Donna Culver. The producers of the show liked her performance so much that her guest spot was expanded to an eight year stint. In 1987 the show decided to not renew her contract. She has blamed this decision on her opposition to what she saw as pro-abortion storylines involving her character.
