Ann appeared in three episodes of the show during the 1964-65 season as Rosie Harrigan, one of Lucy Carmichael's old school chums who is now a destitute heiress.
Although the powers-that-be at Desilu considered adding Ann to the show full time, Lucy was not crazy about "officially" replacing Viv (whom she still hoped would come back), and Ann was not sure she wanted to be tied down to a regular weekly series.
Ann returned to television in 1985 in a TV-movie remake of "A Letter to Three Wives." The producers originally asked her to play the Thelma Ritter maid's role, but she did not think she was mobile enough for that, and asked, instead for the Connie Gilchrist mother role.
