Television and Film
In 1979, Loudon starred in the television series Dorothy, in which she portrayed a former showgirl teaching music and drama at a boarding school for girls. It lasted only one season. She appeared in only two films, playing an agent in the film Garbo Talks and a Southern eccentric in Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
Coincidentally, two roles Loudon played on the Broadway stage - Miss Hannigan in Annie and Dotty Otley, a washed-up actress struggling to succeed in a dreadful sex comedy in the 1983 farce Noises Off - were played by Carol Burnett on screen.
