Dedee Pfeiffer grew up in Midway City, California, as the daughter of a heating and air conditioning contractor and a homemaker.

She has studied with some of Hollywood's most renowned acting coaches such as Peggy Feury, Roy London and Ivana Chubbuck.

Dedee landed her first movie role in John Landis' film Into the Night and her first television role in the series Simon & Simon. She went on to star opposite Grace Jones in the horror cult classic comedy Vamp, made numerous other appearances in films such as Falling Down and television shows before she was cast on Cybil as Cybil Shepherd's daughter Rachel, a series regular.

Cybil earned nearly three dozen awards and nominations, picking up three Primetime Emmy awards and the Golden Globe Award for best television series - musical or comedy. Pfeiffer and the rest of the cast were nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for outstanding performance by an ensemble in a comedy series.

Pfeiffer went on to star in the series For Your Love and guest starred in several of the most iconic shows on television, including Seinfeld, Friends, two CSI series and ER, to mention a few.

Dedee won awards and nominations as an actor and producer on her short films, The Tub and Laredo. She also appeared in the award-winning film L.A., I Hate You.

She graced Playboy magazine's February 2002 cover, breaking with convention for the men's magazine in a pictorial that showed her nude with a BIPOC male model and displaying her tattoo art, in what at the time was a rule-breaking appearance in the men's magazine for a mainstream female star.

Pfeiffer took a 10-year break from Hollywood to earn her Master of Social Work degree from UCLA, and returned to acting as a series regular, playing Denise Brisbane on the ABC drama Big Sky.
