Jo Ann Pflug, born May 2, 1947, in Atlanta, Georgia, was an American motion picture and television actress, but has retired from acting.
Jo Ann was in the film M*A*S*H (1970) as the U.S. Army nurse Lt. Maria "Dish" Schneider. Also, in 1978-79, she also played an Army nurse in the second season of the U.S. Navy-submarine-based TV series Operation Petticoat. This series had undergone an almost complete change-of-cast after its successful first 1977-78 season, and it did not last very long in 1979, when it was canceled.
Jo Ann was also a frequent panelist on the television game-show Match Game in 1973-81, a co-host with Allen Funt on the 1970s version of Candid Camera, and a regular on the TV-series The Fall Guy in 1981-82. In 1984, she was the first actress to play Taylor Chapin on the unsuccessful soap Rituals.
Jo Ann's only recorded marriage was to Chuck Woolery, the original host of Wheel of Fortune in 1973–1981. A born-again Christian, she has a daughter named Melissa. Jo Ann's height is recorded as 5ft 7in, and she has naturally-brunette hair.
