Hershey Presley is most known for her role as Alison Barrington, during the last four years (2000–2003) of the American soap opera Port Charles.
From 2002 to 2003, she and actor Brian Gaskill formed the supercouple of Rafe Kovich and Alison Barrington on the show.
The same year Port Charles was cancelled, Lisa Ling left her role as a co-host of ABC's The View.
Hershey Presley joined the on-air auditions to replace Ling, advancing to the three finalists, before the co-host job went to Elisabeth Hasselbeck.
Her last film appearance was in the 2010 movie Once Fallen, starring her husband, Brian Presley.
