The couple moved to Kent in 1972, where Ann began working in the Admissions Office at South Kent School. She later worked in the College Guidance and Admissions Offices at the Kent School, a selective college preparatory school where Ronald also was a teacher.[6][7]

MacFarlane went to Boston Conservatory but did not graduate before moving to Los Angeles to begin a career in voice acting.[8][9]

In 2005, she was cast in American Dad!, where she voices Hayley Smith, protagonist Stan Smith’s rebellious teenage daughter.
