Nachdem sie Mitglied der Improvisationstheatergruppe „Pitchshel Players“ in San Francisco war, zog sie nach Los Angeles und schloss sich der Groundlings-Truppe an. Sie arbeitete mit ihrem Groundlings-Kollegen Paul Reubens an dessen erstem Theaterstück „The Pee-wee Herman Show“, in dem sie 1981 die Rolle der „Einsiedlerin Hattie“ verkörperte. McClurg wirkte in fast 90 Filmen und 55 Fernsehfolgen mit, meist in der Rolle der etwas sturen und begriffsstutzigen Frau mittleren Alters aus dem Mittleren Westen.
