In 1998, Priscilla Barnes was featured on E! True Hollywood Story, where she revealed that her time on Three's Company was the "three worst years" of her life, that she constantly felt "uncomfortable" on the set, and that she even asked to be released from her contract, a request which was denied. While Terri Alden will always be Barnes' most prominent role, she has certainly had her fair share of success, with consistent supporting roles in both television and film.
