Garrett played the role of Holly Norris on Guiding Light, a role she inherited from Lynn Deerfield in 1976. For many years, the character of Holly was featured in a psychologically complex story with Roger Thorpe, played by Michael Zaslow. Villain Roger had, among other things, raped Holly while they were married. The couple of Roger and Holly is considered one of Guiding Light's most memorable couples. In 1980, Garrett left Guiding Light to pursue prime-time television and film.

She speaks German and French. She studied at Universitat München in Germany, and at Temple and Villanova Universities in Pennsylvania, United States.
