When Wendy was nine years old she looked in the yellow pages and found a talent agency. Unbeknownst to her parents, Wendy left a message on their answering machine. The agent called back and set up an interview with Wendy right away. There began her acting career. Right away Wendy landed a national "Milk it does a Body Good" commercial. She went on to appear in over 15 commercials before heading down to Hollywood for auditions. She landed the role of Megan on "The New Lassie" and moved to Hollywood for the show's two seasons (48 episodes). During the hiatus of the show she spent time back at home in the Bay Area and made a few guest appearances on other shows.
