Biography

Mary Therese Cadorette (born March 31, 1957) is an American actress best known for playing Jack Tripper's live-in girlfriend, flight attendant Vicky Bradford, on the short-lived 1984 Three's Company spin-off Three's a Crowd. Cadorette was born in East Hartford, Connecticut. She started taking dance classes when she was five years old and later entered dance competitions. She gives credit to her love of dance for her career milestones. She was Miss Connecticut in the 1975 Miss America pageant. She graduated from the University of Connecticut in 1979, after which she performed in dinner theatres and with the United Service Organizations (USO). She also spent three and a half years on Broadway as an understudy in the musical 42nd Street. In 1990, she landed the recurring guest role of Margaret Turner on Night Court. She owned her own restaurant in Los Angeles in the 1990s, Mary's Lamb, that was frequented by many celebrities. Mary has been in a few films, Stewardess School, and The Rat Pack among them. During the 1980s, she was also seen on a number of game shows, including The $25,000 Pyramid, Super Password, and Body Language. In 1999, she left California and moved back home to Connecticut to take care of her mother who had suffered a stroke. Her mother died eight years later. She and two friends, whom she had known since they were in dance school as children, decided to take up dancing again after many years. They formed the "The Chapeau Rouge Dance Project" encouraging former (and older) dance students to attend classes in the dance studio that they have rented. She was married to Michael Eisen in 1982. Later, she married William Harris (born 16 March 1948 - 15 October 2010), taking the newly-married name Mary Cadorette-Harris. In March 2011, she directed and choreographed Hairspray at Glastonbury High School in Glastonbury, Connecticut. In March of 2012 she directed 42nd Street at Glastonbury High School with some of the original choreography. She now teaches at Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts Tap and Ensemble Class in Hartford, Connecticut. From Wikipedia.
