Benton is known for her years as a regular on the country music series Hee Haw, appearing in comic skits with other cast members.

She also starred in the short-lived ABC-TV comedy series Sugar Time! about an aspiring female rock group in 1977.
Benton was also a recording artist with some success. Her record "Brass Buckles" (1975) was a top five hit on Billboard's country singles chart. Benton has recorded eight albums, the last of which she personally produced in 1979. She also composed the songs, sang them and played piano. One of her better-known songs was "Ain't That Just the Way" (1976), which was also a major hit for Lutricia McNeal in 1996, and was recorded by the Dutch singer Patricia Paay under the title Poor Jeremy in 1977.
