Bryant was born in Manhattan, New York. She has guest starred in a number of television series including T. J. Hooker, Marcus Welby, M.D., Charlie's Angels, Kojak, Three's Company, Starsky & Hutch, Lou Grant, The Incredible Hulk, St. Elsewhere, Moonlighting, Alien Nation, and other series.[1] She played a hysterical passenger in the 1980 film Airplane!, reprising the role in the 1982 sequel. She herself came up with the idea to improve upon the scene by having various people use violence to calm down her character. Her role in Airplane! also parodied a chain of coffee commercials she had starred in throughout the 1970s for Yuban coffee. Directors Abrahams, Zucker and Zucker cast her without realizing Bryant was the original actress from the commercials. [2][3]
