Maroney's most notable television roles were her first: Kimberly Harris Beaulac on the soap opera Ryan's Hope (1979-1981, 1982-1983) and Tina Lord on One Life to Live (1984-1985). Maroney was featured on the cover of the October 27, 1980 issue of People (alongside fellow soap opera actresses Genie Francis and Kristen Vigard) and interviewed in the related story about the "teen temptresses" of daytime television.[3]
Her best known film roles were in the 1982 comedy Fast Times at Ridgemont High as a cheerleader named Cindy, the 1984 science fiction movie Night of the Comet as Samantha Belmont; as well as two low-budget slasher films, The Zero Boys (1985) as Jamie, and Chopping Mall (1986) as Alison.
An interview with Maroney was featured in Jewel Shepard's Invasion of the B-Girls, a non-fiction book composed of interviews with popular scream queens and in Night of the Comet.[4] She appeared on The Joan Rivers Show in the 1990s in a cheerleading uniform. The segment was about B-movie starlets. Joan Rivers had Kelli scream for her and then tried screaming herself. She has made guest appearances on TV shows, among them Family Feud, Simon & Simon, Murder, She Wrote, FBI: The Untold Stories, and Chicago Hope.
Maroney is credited in one film (Audition) with a stage name, as Zoe Kelli Simon. Maroney will star in the remake of the 1980 psychological horror film Don't look in the Basement.[5]
