debut until 1969 when she portrayed Sally Weber in the original production of John Sebastian and Murray Schisgal's musical theatre,musical
Jimmy Shine with Dustin Hoffman in the title role. Her breakout role was of maniacal nanny Caroline Johnson on
Another World from July 1970 - September 1971. In the show, while taking care of twins Michael and Marianne Randolph, Caroline fell in love with their father, John, and began poisoning their mother, Pat. Due in part to McClanahan's performance, the short-term role was extended to over a year before Caroline was finally brought to justice after kidnapping the twins. McClanahan expected negative fan reaction but was generally popular, even getting one letter advising her on the best poisons with which to kill Pat. Unlike a number of actors who become famous after leaving soaps, McClanahan has always praised daytime drama and the people who work in it. Once her role on
Another World ended, Rue joined the cast of the CBS soap
Where the Heart Is, where she
played not so nice Margaret Jardin.
