Judy Landers

Biography

Judy Landers' pleasing personality and physical attributes have made this former Julliard music student one of the popular character actresses in both action shows like "B.J. and the Bear" (1979) and "Vega$" (1978), as well as in a multitude of situation comedies during the 1980s. Although a student of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, Judy has tried her hand at dramas, but because of her ability to play naive, innocent or sometimes even dim-witted characters, the blonde bombshell seems to have excelled more in comedies. She has appeared in shows such as "Night Court" (1984) and "The Love Boat" (1977), and in movies such as Stewardess School (1986) and Dr. Alien (1989). She is married to baseball player Tom Niedenfuer and they have two daughters, Lindsey and Kristy. Judy and her older sister Audrey Landers have appeared together in many projects, but one of the projects nearest and dearest to them seems to have been "The Huggabug Club" (1995), a children's show which they produced for Public Broadcasting. The duo not only starred in the show, they (along with their mother Ruth Landers) produced the show, and contributed most of the music to it, as well.
