Her first play went to state competition whure she lost an award to a football player who had been recruited for a special bit." It was then that Berlinda re alized that "you don’t always get the things you deserve, or think you deserve." This insight coincided with some good advice from a suppor tive teacher, who told Berlinda she must learn to trust her own in stincts and not to rely on others. That instinct and self-reliance spurred Berlinda on to win every possible state award offered to North Carolina high school stu dents and several special acting awards which were created just for her. As a sophomore Berlinda re ceived a full scholarship to a spe cial acting program at The Hamp ton Institute in Hampton, Virginia. In fact, Berlinda was awarded full scholarships to complete all of her special drama training, including a four year course of study at The North Carolina School of the Arts, where she earned a Bachelor of Pine Arta degree and Rose Bru ford's School of Acting in London, England.

After a good nine-month run, Berlinda moved to New York where she appeared with John Cullum in a short-lived, off-Broadway play, then audi tioned for and won a part in Jo seph Papp's "What the Wine Sellers Buy." During her stay in New York, Berlinda was selected as one of five students to study with Ada Mather, whose students have in cluded Sir. Laurence Olivier and Richard Chamberlain. After two and one-half years in New York, Berlinda moved to Hollywood, where following ap pearances as a guest star on such shows as "Mannix," "Streets of San Francisco," "Police Woman," " That's My Mama," and "Sanford and Son," she landed a role as a regular on the "Jeffersons," where she was to perform as a co-star for 10 years.
