Turning to the small screen, Adams had a shot at series stardom as trauma surgeon Dr. Judith Bergstrom in "Chicago Stories" (NBC, 1982), but the show proved unsuccessful. She tried again the following year with the soap opera "Emerald Point N.A.S." (CBS). Adams had the featured role of Maggie Farrell, a liaison between the military establishment and the base. Longforms have provided her with more meaty roles that allowed her to demonstrate what she learned in her studies with Stella Adler. One of her better roles was as Mala, the multi-lingual Jewess hung for trying to escape Auschwitz, in "Playing for Time" (CBS, 1980). Adams also appeared on the NBC special "Women Who Rate a '10'" (1981) and appeared on "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" and other reality series. She has continued to model, often appearing in special theme spreads, still the statuesque beauty.
