As a model, Mayo-Chandler posed for prestigious publications such as Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar, and even bared it all in Playboy, sharing insights into her relationship with Jack Nicholson.

Her acting career took off when she played a receptionist in the smash hit 'Beverly Hills Cop' (1984). She then transitioned from minor roles to more substantial and revealing parts. In 'Hamburger... The Motion Picture' (1986), Mayo-Chandler and her nudity stole the show. This was followed by titillating performances in 'Death Feud' (1987) and 'Take Two' (1988). She proved her prowess as a leading lady in thrillers like 'Party Line' (1988) and 'Stripped to Kill II: Live Girls' (1989). Mayo-Chandler then starred in the horror film 'Out of the Dark' (1989).
