Some of Yea's more memorable shows include the television series Cold Squad, 21 Jump Street (with the then relatively unknown Johnny Depp), and General Hospital. Other TV appearances include CBC's 49th & Main. Yea has also appeared in many roles for feature films, such as Antitrust with Tim Robbins, and a very funny role in Happy Gilmore as Adam Sandler's one night stand. She also had a small role in Uwe Boll's Postal.

A Robson Arms series regular from its inception, Yea returned in Season 3 as the caustic-tongued Tan matriarch.

Yea is also a favorite in commercials that have aired not only nationally in the States and Canada, but globally.
