However, she still ended up starring in several campus musicals, which gained attention from producers and prompted her to drop out of school. In 1985 she moved to Los Angeles with no particular success. But in 1994 she co-starred in "Grease" with Rosie O'Donnell and in 1995 in "How To Succeed In Business" with Matthew Broderick.
