Lynne Moody on AllMovie

Versatile African-American actress Lynne Moody did not confine her activities exclusively to television, though that was where she usually could be found. Fans of Roots will recall Moody as Irene Harvey, wife of the great-grandson of Kunta Kinte in both the original 1977 miniseries and its 1979 sequel. She was seen on a weekly basis as Tracy Curtis Taylor in That's My Mama (1974-75), Polly Dawson in Soap (1979-81), Nurse Julie Williams in E/R (the 1984 sitcom, not the current medical drama) and Patricia Williams in Knot's Landing (1988-90). Lynne Moody was more recently cast as Elizabeth Butler in a brace of "Ray Alexander" TV-movies.
