Barrie Youngfellow (born October 22, 1946) is a retired American voice over, film and television actress.[1] She is the wife of stage and screen actor Sam Freed.

Career

She began her career in the early 1970s in an episode of The Streets of San Francisco and starred in numerous television shows and made-for-TV movies including Nightmare in Blood, WKRP in Cincinnati, Barney Miller, Three's Company, Vampire, It Came Upon the Midnight Clear and Moviola: The Scarlett O'Hara War in which she portrayed Joan Crawford.

Youngfellow is best-known for her role as sharp-tonged and sarcastic waitress Jan Hoffmeyer Gray on the sitcom It's a Living from 1980-82 on ABC and 1985-89 in first-run syndication. She and Gail Edwards, Paul Kreppel and Marian Mercer were the only actors from It's a Living to last all the way through the show's network and syndication runs.

In 1990, It's a Living producers Paul Junger Witt and Tony Thomas cast Youngfellow in the pilot episode of Blossom, in which she played the mother of Mayim Bialik's title character; she did not continue with the project when NBC picked it up as a regular series. In 1998, Youngfellow made her last TV appearance, in an episode of Law & Order.

She is the wife of stage and screen actor Sam Freed, whom she married in 1983.[2]

The two narrated the 2001 audiobook of The Children's Book of Faith by William J. Bennett.[3] Youngfellow was formerly married to Michael Mund Youngfellow from 1968 to 1975.

As of 2011, she is president of the California corporation To Be Announced, Inc., founded November 20, 1978.[4]
