Bio

Melinda Culea is an American actress best known for her role as Amy Amanda Allen in the television action series The A-Team, in 1983.

Culea was born in a suburb of Chicago on May 5, 1955. At the age of 20, she moved to New York to join a prestigious modeling agency. After four years in New York, she moved to California to break into the TV industry.

After doing a number of commercials, including a successful Burger King campaign, she landed a starring role in the sitcom pilot Dear Teacher (1981).

She soon got what seemed like her big break when she won the role of Amy Allen, the female lead in The A-Team (1983).

After a role on the short-lived Aaron Spelling series Glitter (1984), Culea re-emerged in 1986 with a series of high-profile guest roles on Family Ties (1982) and St. Elsewhere (1982).

She then took a hiatus from acting, returning in 1988 with a regular role on Knots Landing (1979). She worked steadily as a dependable and versatile TV performer, most notably in a guest-starring role in a famous episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987).

Her last credited screen role was in an episode of Family Law, in 2001.
