Life and career
Freedman graduated with a degree in theater from Northwestern University in 1979. During her time at NU, Freedman was "Winnie the Wildcat," the team's co-ed mascot of the late seventies. She was elected homecoming queen in 1978.
Freedman is perhaps best known for playing Annette Mastorelli, Chachi Arcola's cousin and bass guitar playing bandmate in Joanie Loves Chachi, the short-lived spin-off of Happy Days. After Joanie Loves Chachi ended, she played Wendy on several seasons of Mister Belvedere. Then she played Patty DuPunt, a boarding school student who later married a man named Bernhard Kraus (Cameron Smith), on the equally short-lived syndicated soap opera Rituals. She was on the latter show for the two years the series was shown. In 1988, she played a woman in a dating service video in You Can't Hurry Love, and Stephanie, the unfortunate driving school student in The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!. Her other film credits include roles in The Last American Virgin (1982), My Man Adam (1985), Reform School Girls (1986), Hero and the Terror (1988), The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989), The Shrink Is In (2001) and Evolution (2001).
Freedman is married to Scott Harlan and appears in movies and television series.
