Career
Brull began her professional acting career around 1976 and maintained an active presence in Los Angeles-based television and film throughout the following two decades.
Her television credits range widely across genres: the daytime soap opera Days of Our Lives; primetime dramas including Knots Landing, Falcon Crest, T.J. Hooker, and Matlock; and comedies including Three's Company, Growing Pains, and Saved by the Bell: The New Class. She also appeared in the original pilot episode of Seinfeld in 1989.1
In 1990, Brull joined the cast of the short-lived Fox sitcom Molloy, playing Lynn Walker Martin, the stepmother of the title character played by Mayim Bialik.2 The series is notable in retrospect for featuring a young Jennifer Aniston as the sarcastic stepsister Courtney Walker, Aniston's debut television role.2 Molloy ran for one season with seven episodes produced; four aired before cancellation.2
Film credits include the science fiction thriller The Philadelphia Experiment (1984) and the horror film The Guardian (1990), in which she played Gail Krasno, as well as Stuart Saves His Family (1995).1
On stage, Brull performed in Rupert Holmes' suspense comedy Accomplice at the Pasadena Playhouse in 1989 (where the play made its debut) and then in the Broadway production in 1990 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre, playing the character Harley.3 She was also a member of INTERACT, a Los Angeles-based theatre company.
Brull made her final Hollywood acting credit in 1997 and subsequently transitioned into real estate in Los Angeles.
Extreme Ghostbusters
In 1997, Brull provided the guest voice for Beth Rivera in the Extreme Ghostbusters episode "Rage."4
Beth Rivera is the wife of Carl Rivera, a police officer and the brother of Ghostbuster Eduardo Rivera, and the mother of Kevin Rivera. A warm and welcoming character, Beth regularly invites Eduardo to dinner and acts as a peacemaker within the Rivera family. In "Rage," termite fumigation of the Ghostbusters' firehouse forces Egon Spengler to take up temporary residence with Eduardo; a replicating troll infestation forms the episode's parallel supernatural threat, and the complications of Egon's stay ultimately expose Eduardo's involvement with the Extreme Ghostbusters to his skeptical brother. Beth's patient, steady presence runs as a quiet thread through the episode's family conflict.
