Terri Alden is a starring character during the final three seasons of the sitcom Three's Company, born in Longmeadow, Massachusetts. She is played by Priscilla Barnes and is the third "token blonde" on the show (Suzanne Somers and Jenilee Harrison having preceded her); however, she works as a registered nurse and is portrayed as far less ditzy than her predecessors.

[edit] Personality

Terri isn't as ditzy as the Snow roommates, which was the answer to the complaints about how blondes were portrayed. Terri usually says the wrong thing at the wrong time, but that isn't to say she isn't intelligent. Terri is serious about her job as a nurse, but when she comes home and out of her uniform, she lets out that up-beat character.
