Youngfellow is perhaps best known for her role as sharp-tonged and sarcastic waitress Jan Hoffmeyer Gray on the sitcom It's a Living, which ran from 1980 until 1982 on ABC, and from 1985 to 1989 in first-run syndication (she, along with Gail Edwards, Paul Kreppel and Marian Mercer, were the only members of the It's a Living cast to last all the way through the show's network and syndication runs).
