She also appeared in the series The Fall Guy (1982) in season 1, episode 20 ("Three for the Road") [2] as "Jinx" , and in ALF, in episode 16 of season 1, as Brenda, Wayne Schlegel's lover.
Landers has often worked with her sister and mother in the business, including collaborating with Audrey on the children's show The Huggabug Club (1996). The sisters were on the cover of the January 1983 issue of Playboy magazine and in a non-nude pictorial.
Landers, along with her sister Audrey and their mother Ruth, produced the family film Circus Island (2006).
