With the addition of Sondra, Theo became the middle child. Sondra was known for her philosophical statements and intelligence, traits she displayed as an undergraduate at Princeton University.

Le Beauf is a frequent leading lady performing with the Shakespeare Theatre Company in Washington, DC. She recently portrayed Katherine in The Taming of the Shrew with the Company in DC.

Le Beauf also appeared on two episodes of 'Star Trek: The Next Generation, "Gambit Parts I & II" as Ensign Giusti.
