She played Missy, the sexy stepmother of Bill and later Ted, in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, and its sequel Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey. Stoch also appeared in four television movies of the Gunsmoke series, as Marshal Matt Dillon's daughter "Beth", and also made a guest appearance on an episode of Matlock.
