| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | She was awarded the 1978 Antoinette Perry (Tony) Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play for "Chapter Two," on Broadway in New York City. |
| 2 | Wedgeworth joined the seasoned cast of Three's Company (1976) in 1979 as bosomy neighbor-divorcée Lana Shields, who had strict and assertive designs on John Ritter's Jack Tripper character. It was a tawdry, one-note character who really didn't fit in with the harmless leering and silly, physical slapstick of the show. She was promptly written out of the series mid-season with no explanation given in the story for Lana's disappearance. Later, Wedgeworth revealed that she wasn't fired but asked to be let go. After shooting a couple of episodes of the show, Wedgeworth said, some of the cast members were complaining about the size of her part and the character dwindled down to practically nothing. Wedgeworth asked the producers to write the part of Lana back to the way it was intended or release her. |

| 4 | Over fifteen years after their divorce, she appeared with ex-husband Rip Torn in the film Birch Interval (1976). By this time, he was married to actress Geraldine Page. |
| 5 | Won a Drama Desk Award for her role in "A Lie of the Mind" (1986). |
| 6 | Won Broadway's 1978 Tony Award as Best Actress (Featured Role - Play) for "Chapter Two." |
| 7 | Childhood friends with actress Jayne Mansfield. |
