A photogenic actress best known for her one-season tenure as Sue Ann Weaver on the NBC sitcom The Facts of Life (c. 1979-1980), blonde-haired Julie Piekarski actually entered show business as one of the "New Mousketeers" on The New Mickey Mouse Club, then signed for her best-known role as beautiful prep school student Sue Ann Weaver. Like several of her co-stars, Piekarski left Facts after its first season (1979-1980), then made occasional guest appearances on such programs as Three's Company and ABC After School Specials and essayed a role in the telemovie The Miracle of Kathy Miller before working briefly as a reporter on KPLR television in Southern California and then marrying and starting a family.
