After working as a model in a fashion show, she got her big break in 1973 when Bob Hope spotted her at the show and asked her to join the group of performers he was leading for a performance at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC.
Buoyed by her newfound success, she relocated from San Diego to Los Angeles to pursue a career in Hollywood.
Her small early roles included a part on the Lynda Carter–starring Wonder Woman, but she got her first serious screen attention for playing a nurse with a single line on a 1975 episode of Columbo.
From there, she scored guest roles on The Rockford Files, Starsky & Hutch, Kojak and The Love Boat, among other late-'70s shows.
One of her early film roles was in 1978's college sex comedy The Seniors, in which she starred with a young Dennis Quaid.
After Three's Company, her '80s TV appearances included a guest role on Murder, She wrote, as well as two unrelated stints on The Love Boat and two separate roles years apart on Hotel.
In 1989, she joined the James Bond franchise by playing the wife of the secret agent's longtime friend Felix Leiter in Licence To Kill, though her character was violently dispatched early on in the film.
Priscilla remained prolific, and she appeared in numerous films throughout the '90s, including the horror film Stepfather III, the Sean Penn–directed drama The Crossing Guard, which starred Jack Nicholson, and Kevin Smith's comedy Mallrats.
She also worked with Star Wars scribe Lawrence Kasdan on his comedy Mumford in 1999.
Her 2000s and 2010s projects were less prestigious for the most part, but she did appear in the cult-classic horror film The Devil's Rejects in 2005, which was written and directed by Rob Zombie.
In 2014, she scored one of her best roles as the scheming Magda on Jane The Virgin.
Her character was the mother of Petra (Yael Grobglas) who tried to help her daughter take over a hotel owned by her husband Rafael (Justin Baldoni).

EXCLUSIVE The inside story of why Taylor Swift spectacularly snubbed Kamala Harris on the campaign trail
Despite whispers and building anticipation that she could join Beyonce or Lady Gaga for the biggest political and pop culture spectacle in history, she never showed up on the campaign trail in support of Kamala Harris. Despite a debate night endorsement of Harris in September that sent Donald Trump spiraling, Taylor Swift decided to sit out the remainder of the 2024 cycle. The forthcoming book, 2024: How Trump Retook the White House and the Democrats Lost America, reveals new details about who's at fault for there never being a Harris-Swift moment on the campaign trail that could've captivated and motivated the pop star's legion of fans. 'Swift proved to be a special challenge. Staffers who worked on celebrity appearances were instructed not to make any outreach to her universe; Doug Emhoff was handling it,' wrote journalists Josh Dawsey, Tyler Pager and Isaac Arnsdorf. Emhoff, the authors explained, had an in with Swift's team. 'Before Harris became vice president, Emhoff had had a lucrative career as an entertainment lawyer in Los Angeles,' they wrote. 'He and Swift's lawyer, Doug Baldridge, were both partners at the firm Venable.' Emhoff, the authors wrote, had reached out to Baldridge to 'convey that the campaign would appreciate any efforts the pop star could make to help Harris.' 'Baldridge said Swift would do what Swift thought was best,' they said. Taylor Swift surprised the Harris campaign by endorsing the Democratic nominee directly following her September 10 debate against President Donald Trump. Second gentleman Doug Emhoff was the only person allowed to do outreach to Swift's team On September 10, Harris stepped onstage in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for a first and only debate against the GOP nominee, former President Donald Trump. 'Minutes after the debate ended, Taylor Swift surprised the campaign with a full- throated endorsement posted on her Instagram,' the authors noted. 'She shared a photo of her with her cat, Benjamin Button, and signed it "Childless Cat Lady," a dig at J.D. Vance.' With no audience in the actual debate hall, the Harris campaign had set up shop at the Cherry Street Pier, an old warehouse on the Delaware River converted into art galleries and a performance space. 'Harris asked if she should mention the endorsement when she spoke to supporters at a watch party,' the authors said. 'They said that would sound too thirsty, but agreed to change her walk-off song to Swift's "The Man."' The mood in the room was electric - and it only seemed a matter of time before Swift, herself, would make some sort of appearance along Harris' side. Swift famously didn't step into politics until the 2018 campaign cycle - endorsing Tennessee Senate candidate Phil Bredesen and Democratic Rep. Jim Cooper - and expressing remorse in the documentary Taylor Swift: Miss Americana for not doing more to help Democrat Hillary Clinton beat Trump in 2016. She endorsed Joe Biden via social media in 2020 - though the COVID-19 pandemic and Biden's COVID-conscious campaign strategy meant that celebrity engagement was limited. But the Harris campaign 'dedicated huge resources in the final month to massive rallies with celebrity guests,' the authors noted. 'Harris and Walz said they were bringing joy back to politics, and massive celebrity-filled rallies - Meghan Thee Stallion performed in Atlanta, Maggie Rogers in Ann Arbor, Gracie Abrams and Mumford & Sons in Madison, Wisconsin - were key to that strategy.' Beyonce - who had been rumored to appear alongside Harris at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago in August - finally hit the campaign trail at a special abortion rights rally in the songstress' hometown of Houston, Texas in late October. 'But privately, some campaign staff raised concerns that the major rallies may not be worth the millions of dollars they cost to stage or the staff investment,' the authors said. 'There was scant evidence that the rallies were persuading voters or necessarily boosting turnout.' Federal Election Commission filings later showed the Harris paid Beyonce's production company, Parkwood Production Media LLC, $165,000 for that event. There were also concerns about some of the celebrity assignments - such as sending Bruce Springsteen, whose fans are predominantly white, to Clarkston, Georgia, where the city's population is 70 percent black and 50 percent foreign-born. 'The predominantly white press corps seemed more interested in Springsteen's performance than the 23,000 mostly black attendees,' the authors wrote. Still, the celeb-filled Harris-Walz campaign carried on. And still no Taylor. In the final hours before Election Day, there was some evidence that a Swift appearance may finally be happening. On Monday, November 4, Harris was heading to Pennsylvania and would door-knock with volunteers in Reading, the closest city to Swift's birthplace. 'Rumors flew that the town's most famous daughter, Taylor Swift, would join Harris there or perform at a last rally in Philadelphia,' the authors said. 'Low-level Harris aides did nothing to tamp down the speculation.' Instead the final night featured performances by 2 Chainz in Raleigh, Christina Aguilera in Las Vegas and Jon Bon Jovi in Detroit, which the authors called 'another head-scratcher for many black voters.' Reprising the role she played in 2016 and 2020, Lady Gaga was the main act for the final event, performing songs in front of the Rocky steps at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Emhoff had been told that Swift would do what Swift thought best. 'Nothing more than the endorsement ever materialized,' the authors said. A spokesperson for Swift did not respond to the Daily Mail's request for comment.

Lizzo does Baywatch in red Yitty swimsuit as she kicks back by the pool
Lizzo channeled the Baywatch star Pamela Anderson in a red, one-piece swimsuit over the weekend. On Saturday she shared a video of herself modeling swimwear from her brand Yitty as she lounged poolside. With a blank space left for her fans to share their imagination, she wrote in her caption: 'Put some @yitty on yo ______!' The 37-year-old singer recently revealed the 'truth' about her weight loss journey - and as her fans turned on the thinner-than-ever star as she finally admitted to using Ozempic after her denial. In the past two years, there has been a flurry of fan speculation about Lizzo using Ozempic as she documented her weight loss journey on social media. She made an appearance on Trisha Paytas' podcast Just Trish in late June and decided to come clean. 'I tried everything,' she said while explaining how she tried using GLP-1 drugs for several months in the beginning of her weight loss journey. 'Ozempic works because you eat less food, yeah? So if you eat right, it makes you feel full. But if you can just do that on your own and get mind over matter, it's the same thing.' She also said that she started getting results when she stopped being vegan after many years of not eating meat. 'What did it for me is, it was not being vegan,' she explained. 'Because when I was vegan, I was consuming a lot of fake meats. I was eating a lot of bread. I was eating a lot of rice and I had to eat a lot of it to stay full.'
