MiniBio

She’s a blonde, attractive singer-actress who started her music journey at just eighteen—an early start that set the stage for a dynamic career in entertainment. Hartman first stepped into the spotlight with her first major role as the lead in the short-lived but memorable TV sitcom Tabitha, which aired on ABC from 1977 to 1978. In the show, Hartman played a witch navigating life as a television production assistant—a quirky and charming premise that showcased her unique appeal.

Hartman really began turning heads in 1981 when she took on the intense and dramatic role of Neely O’Hara, the troubled, drug-addicted rock star, in the TV remake of Jacqueline Susann’s Valley of the Dolls. Her powerful performance left a lasting impression and solidified her status as a serious actress. Then came her breakout role on the popular CBS nighttime soap Knots Landing, where Hartman portrayed Ciji Dunne, a talented singer with a turbulent storyline. When the character was tragically killed off in 1983, fans were so invested that Hartman was brought back by popular demand—but this time as a completely new character, Cathy Geary. That kind of audience loyalty is rare, and it speaks volumes about Hartman’s on-screen magnetism.

Over the years, Hartman has continued to build an impressive resume, appearing in numerous TV movies and specials that highlight her range as both a performer and vocalist. On a personal note, since 1991, Hartman has been happily married to country music star Clint Black—a union that has stood the test of time in the often unpredictable world of show business. Through every phase of her career, Hartman has remained a compelling presence, balancing her talents in music and acting with grace and authenticity.
