A fan favorite, Deborah has the distinction of being one of the original Solid Gold Dancers! She appeared on the show's two-hour "Solid Gold Special" before it became a series! When the show first aired as a series in 1980, Deborah was there and stayed with the show through the 1984 season. Deborah also was a dancer on "Solid Gold Hits," a half-hour summer show in 1984. Before Solid Gold, Deborah appeared as a dancer on numerous TV specials, including an Olivia Newton-John Special, three Barry Manilow specials, the American Music Awards and Grammy Awards. She appeared in the Olivia Newton- John movie "Xanadu" as a dancer, and had the opportunity to perform as a back- up singer and dancer for Tina Turner's "American Tour." After Solid Gold, Deborah was busy on film, television and the stage! She appeared in the John Travolta movie "Staying Alive" as his character's co- worker, Margaret. She also was featured as a dancer in the TV shows "Airwolf," "Entertainment Tonight," and the "Miss Teen USA" and "Miss USA" pageants. Deborah wowed audiences on stage in "James Brown Live in Concert." Deborah choreographed two fitness videos - Ray Boom-Boom Mancini's "Knockout Workout" and Lou Ferrigno's "Body Perfection" - and was featured in "The 5-Day Solid Gold Workout." Singing is one of Deborah's biggest interests! She enjoys singing in clubs and covering the tunes of artists like Aretha Franklin, Chaka Khan, Heart and Lisa Stanfield.
