She first appeared on TV in a Sara Lee cake commercial at the age of three. Hundreds of commercials followed, as well as an appearance in A.R.

She appeared in the soap operas: Secret Storm, Guiding Light, All My Children and As the World Turns. Modeling jobs included the cover of Seventeen magazine. As a teen she was dubbed "queen of the After School Specials" by her peers for her numerous roles in TV movies of that genre.

After more than 20 years as an actress in New York and Hollywood, Arutt retired to become a doctor for creative artists. She attended UCLA with scholarships from both Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, where she graduated summa cum laude and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Following a Doctor of Psychology degree from California School of Professional Psychology, where she developed a program called "Healing Together" for couples recovering from posttraumatic stress disorder, she became a clinical and forensic psychologist specializing in working with creative artists, including actors, writers, directors, cinematographers, studio executives and other entertainment professionals. She has appeared as an expert on television in local, national and international programs.
