Bry gained acting experience in school plays, community theater productions, and summer stock theatre.[2] At one point, she left acting and worked as a paralegal for New York City's Department of Consumer Affairs.[3] A scripted fight on an episode of Kojak led to Bry's working for a while as a stuntwoman in New York.[4]

Bry also appeared as medical student Jean Hallinan in three episodes of the television series Dallas (Season Four, 1981) and as photographer Julie Masters on the 1978 CBS series The Amazing Spider-Man.[1]

Bry's family moved to Stamford, Connecticut, when she was a child.[4] She graduated from the Stamford, Connecticut public schools and Tufts University School of Arts and Sciences[4] (cum laude).
