Sheree appeared in Latin American countries in a TV commercial for "White Cloud" toilet paper/ "Papel Higienico". She soon was awarded acting roles in various seasons of "Saturday Nite Live", which brought her an interesting exposure to the legendary casts of the series in the early eighties. Invariably, on the west coast, she was discovered "again" with brief acting appearances in Hollywood, in TV sit-coms like "Cheers", "Married With Children", TV dramas like "Hill St. Blues", "Moonlighting", "ER", "Highway To Heaven", "Dynasty" and Soaps like "All My Children" and "One Life To Live".
