In the late 1960s, she was the companion of music producer Terry Melcher. At one point, they leased a house in Bel Air. In 1969, they moved into a house in Malibu, and the house they vacated was leased by Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate. It was in that house that Tate and four other people were murdered by members of the Manson Family. The fact that Melcher had agreed to produce a record for Charles Manson and backed out of the deal led to speculation that Melcher was the intended target of the killers.

Is good friends with actress Christine Kaufmann.

In 1995, after receiving her 5th Emmy Award for her role as Murphy on "Murphy Brown," she declined any future nominations for that role. She received a total of 7 consecutive nominations for the role.
