A Florida native who worked at Cypress Gardens as a teenager selling orange juice and was a former teen golf champion in the area as well, Sheila's over three decade Hollywood career has encompassed not only film and TV but the dramatic and comedic stage.
A major TV highlight in Sheila's career was her recurring guest star turn as Jeannie Vogel, mother-in-law to troubled ad man Pete Campbell (played by Vincent Kartheiser) on AMC's Emmy-winning dramatic hit series Mad Men (2007). Other noticeable roles include a recurring part as Senator Patty Bates in the series Scandal (2012) and her series regular part as Connie on the Emmy-nominated Web series of Fear the Walking Dead: Flight 462 (2015). She has amassed a number of TV credits including Grace and Frankie (2015) co-starring Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin; Shooter (2016) with Ryan Phillippe; Lady Dynamite (2016) starring Maria Bamford; and Vegas (2012) with Dennis Quaid, as well as Shameless (2011), Criminal Minds (2005), Sons of Anarchy (2008), Dexter (2006), Bones (2005), Gilmore Girls (2000), and The King of Queens (1998).
On film, Sheila has played character turns in People Like Us (2012) with Michelle Pfeiffer; Pineapple Express (2008) with Seth Rogen; First Daughter (2004), directed by Forest Whitaker and starring Katie Holmes; and Erin Brockovich (2000), directed by Steven Soderbergh and starring Academy Award winner Julia Roberts.
Active in the Los Angeles local theater for over 30 years, Sheila received her Equity card in the hallmark production of Arthur Miller's "All My Sons" at the Los Angeles Theater Center which starred Bill Pullman, Philip Baker Hall and the late Nan Martin. One of her particular favorites was the featured role of child-like May Bee Burley in Theatre West's 1985 premiere of "Verdigris", written by Jim Beaver and directed by Mark W. Travis, which earned her both the Los Angeles Weekly and Drama-Logue awards. Sheila returned to the play in Theatre West's 30-year anniversary of the production, this time receiving critical acclaim for the powerhouse leading role of Margaret Fielding.
