about
arcovicci was born in New York City, the daughter of Helen (née Stuart), a singer, and Eugene Marcovicci, a physician and internist.[1] In her teens, she decided that she wanted to be a singer, but instead majored in drama.[2] In a 1972 interview, she looked back at this period without enthusiasm: "I found that people interested in theater were very serious and heavy. It was a very inbred group. I could not be a part of that. So, if I was going to be an actress, I would have to sing my way into it. I guess what I didn't like about theater on the academic level was the feeling of always being defeated. How could any 18-year-old girl be expected to play Amanda in The Glass Menagerie? You just couldn't be successful at what you were doing. And although I might not have then been able to articulate this, I must have sensed it at the time."[2] Marcovicci left school and started making her way into show business as a singer, appearing on The Mike Douglas Show and The Merv Griffin Show.[2] As an actress, she debuted in commercials and first became known in the television soap opera Love is a Many Splendored Thing, as Dr. Betsy Chernak Taylor from 1970–1973. She was nominated for a Golden Globe award for the New Star of the Year in 1977 for the film, The Front (1976). Marcovicci had a recurring role on Hill Street Blues. She has appeared on Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Kojak, The Incredible Hulk, Magnum, P.I., Cybill, Arli$$, Taxi, Voyagers! (as Cleopatra), Baretta and Mannix. She starre
