She is an actress, who is perhaps still best known for her portrayal of Facy Bates in the 1982 comedy movie “The Toy”, written by Francis Veber, directed by Richard Donner and which starred Richard Pryor, Jackie Gleason and Ned Beatty – the story follows a reporter who was bought by a rich man to serve as a toy for his spoiled son. For his performance in the film, Scott Schwartz won a Young Artist Award for Best Young Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture.

Teresa became interested in acting while attending high school, as her best friend was a member of the school’s drama club and Teresa would often watch her perform.

After being encouraged by her friend, Teresa decided to give acting a try, and instantly fell in love with it. She still focused on her studies, and upon matriculation in 1975, enrolled at college and graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1979.
