Career

After appearing on Broadway in the stage version of "Tribute", she first rose to prominence as Dr. Faith Coleridge on the soap opera "Ryan's Hope" 1976 - 1978. In 1979, she co-starred in the television version of "The Bad News Bears". But it was her Emmy-nominated portrayal of Marilyn Monroe in the 1980 TV movie "Marilyn: The Untold Story" that first established her. In 1982, she took the lead role in the comedy/detective series "Tucker's Witch" opposite Tim Matheson. Supporting roles in movies followed, with appearances in "" as Dr. Gillian Taylor, "Peggy Sue Got Married" (both in 1986), and as the mother in the first horror film of the "Chucky" film series "Child's Play" (in 1988). The next year, she starred opposite Tony Danza in "She's Out of Control".

In the first half of the 1990s, Hicks found work in TV movies, but it wasn't until 1996 when she was cast as Annie Camden on the syndicated family drama "7th Heaven" (opposite fellow Star Trek alum Stephen Collins) that she gained what is arguably her most famous role. "7th Heaven" was picked up by The CW Television Network for an 11th season, making it the longest-running family drama on television. The show finally ended in May 2007.
