(Entertainment Weekly described Rosie as "a screaming Beatlemaniac who, among other things, climbed through elevator shafts").

She played the title role in the television movie Dinky Hocker, an ABC Afterschool Special which dealt with a teenager's attempts to hide her feelings by eating.

1982

Following the show's cancellation in 1982, Sperber worked for a year on the series Private Benjamin.

1984

She then resumed her feature work in the 1984 Tom Hanks theatrical vehicle Bachelor Party, directed by Neal Israel.

According to one of the last known interviews with Sperber by Terra Wellington, the organization was her key cause and effort in the last year of her life with her stating "The whole idea of programming was that I didn't want people to walk into a room and have a therapist ask how they feel.
