In the 70's, she appeared as the superheroine Electra Woman in "ElectraWoman and DynaGirl", a Sid and Marty Krofft children's show.
Hall appeared on a number of shows, including Emergency! (as Nurse Sally Lewis), and The Young and the Restless (as Barbara Anderson), before joining Days of our Lives in 1976 as Dr. Marlena Evans.
In 1986, Hall began playing Jesse Witherspoon on the family drama, Our House, which ran for two seasons. Hall exited Days of our Lives in 1987 when it became too difficult to co-ordinate her prime time and daytime schedules.
Hall continued to make guest appearances on a variety of prime time shows until 1991, when she made a dramatic return to Days of our Lives. Hall has remained on the show since then.
