Vivacious, talented, beautiful, and charming Udana Power has been
wowing audiences for over four decades.
Over the course of her long and noteworthy career, Udana starred on
Broadway opposite Katharine Hepburn, guest-starred opposite many stars
including William Shatner, Henry Winkler, and Suzanne Somers, had her
own television series, and appeared in over 250 TV commercials.
It was obvious from her first appearance on a TV show (Ironside, in
1971) that Udana had "it" - the indefinable charisma of a star. Her
perky characters became a staple of '70s-'90s television series as she
appeared in audience-favorites Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, Kolchak:
The Night Stalker, Soap, Hawaii Five-O, Knots Landing, and Murder, She
Wrote among many others.
However, just when it seemed the sky was the limit for this versatile
performer, a major health challenge derailed her life and career. Udana
would spend the next decade virtually bedridden.
Undaunted, Udana worked tirelessly to restore her life and vitality -
and succeeded. Emerging with new energy and purpose, Udana wrote her
own movies...wrote, produced, and starred in her own one-woman
show...and authored three books. Most recently, Udana reinvented
herself yet again as an entrepreneur, parlaying her natural gift for
connecting with audiences into a highly successful business career.
Today, Udana is a dervish of creative and business pursuits. She spends
her time working on several books (including children's books and
motivational books), two or three screenplays, singing and vocal
coaching, and carrying out the responsibilities of being a nationally
recognized business leader.
Looking back on her career is not something Udana does often. She
prefers to look ahead.
