Midway through her junior year high school O'Keefe left school to star on the soap opera Another World, playing Marguerite “Maggie” Cory. She then got a role on Nash Bridges, playing Cassidy, the daughter of Don Johnson’s title character. She and her mother moved to Hollywood, so O'Keefe completed her schooling by mail.

Working in show business, you meet girls like that every day.”
