Pre-M&P Career---

After finishing high school, Michelle set out to pursue a modeling career in New York City.  It was there that she met John Phillips and joined him and Marshall Brickman in forming the group known as The New Journeymen.  Denny Doherty would later replace Brickman in the group, and the three would continue to sing together until deciding to change their sound and add the talents of Cass Elliot to become The Mamas and the Papas.

Post-M&P Career---  

Unlike the other three members of the group, Michelle chose not to follow a singing career (though she did produce one album).  Instead, she turned to acting which had always been an interest of hers.  Her work has been varied and prolific as the lists below demonstrate. Over the years, she has appeared in several films on both silver and small screens. She has had recurring roles on a variety of television series, most famously Knot's Landing.  She is currently getting involved in movie production as well.
