She dropped out and hitchhiked to San Francisco, but eventually returned for her degree, after which she began work as a New York model, signing with the Ford Models. Her career rose dramatically after her appearance in a National Airlines television commercial in 1963 as the stewardess asking "Is this any way to run an airline? You bet it is!"

On the strength of the ad's popularity, she was urged to seek a Hollywood career. Her first job was in an episode of playing Yeoman Smith in "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (1965), the series' second pilot.

Dromm then moved on to do The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming (1966), in which she played a teenaged babysitter who falls in love with a handsome Soviet Union sailor. She then co-starred in Come Spy with Me (1967), a spy fiction that fell flat. She also appeared as hostess of a TV special on surfing. After this experience, she returned to New York modeling, and for a time was the Clairol "Summer Blonde" girl who appeared in television and print ads.

In 1988, People reported that she was living on real estate investments and splitting her time between homes in The Hamptons, Long Island and Palm Beach, Florida.
