In the late 1960s, Barbeau moved to New York City and worked "for the mob"{{sfn|Barbeau|2006|p=51}} as a go-go dancer. She made her Broadway debut in the chorus of Fiddler on the Roof and later took the role of Hodel, Tevye's daughter; Bette Midler played her character's sister Tzeitel. She left Fiddler in 1971 to play the leading role of Cookie Kovac in the off-Broadway nudie musical Stag Movie. Barbeau, as Cookie Kovac, and Brad Sullivan, as Rip Cord, were "quite jolly and deserve to be congratulated on the lack of embarrassment they show when, on occasion, they have to wander around stark naked. They may not be sexy but they certainly keep cheerful," wrote The New York Times theater critic Clive Barnes in an otherwise negative review.{{cite news | url= http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F00615FA3959107B93C6A9178AD85F458785F9 | work= The New York Times | first= Clive | last= Barnes | author-link= Clive Barnes | date= January 4, 1971 | page= 39 | access-date= June 15, 2012 | title= Stage: '71 Is Off to a Lamentable Start; 'Stag Movie,' a Musical, Opens at the Gate | archive-date= February 22, 2014 | archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20140222231538/http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F00615FA3959107B93C6A9178AD85F458785F9 | url-status= live }} Barbeau went on to star in more than 25 musicals and plays, including Women Behind Bars, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and Grease.

During the 1970s, Barbeau starred as Carol Traynor, the daughter of Bea Arthur's title character, on the comedy series Maude, which ran from 1972 to 1978 (actress Marcia Rodd had originated the role of Carol in a 1972 episode of All in the Family, also titled "Maude," alongside Arthur).{{cite news |last=Nolasco |first=Stephanie |date=July 21, 2019 |title='Maude' actress Adrienne Barbeau recalls bonding with Bea Arthur: 'I learned so much about comedy from her' |url=https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/maude-adrienne-barbeau-bea-arthur |work=Fox News |access-date=July 21, 2019}} In her autobiography, There Are Worse Things I Could Do, Barbeau remarked: "What I didn't know is that when I said [my lines] I was usually walking down a flight of stairs and no one was even listening to me. They were just watching my breasts precede me." During the last season of Maude, Barbeau did not appear in the majority of the episodes. In a 2009 Entertainment Tonight TV interview, Barbeau mentioned that she had good on- and off-camera chemistry with Arthur; she said that the two stayed close until Arthur's death on April 25, 2009.{{cite episode |series=Entertainment Tonight |series-link=Entertainment Tonight |date=May 1, 2009}} Barbeau and Arthur reunited on camera during a 2007 taping of The View, reminiscing about their long-running friendship and their years as co-stars on Maude.{{cite episode |series=The View |series-link=The View (talk show) |date=March 20, 2007}} About her relationship with Arthur, Barbeau said in a 2018 interview with Dread Central:

"I was doing an interview for this one-woman show that I am doing and the interviewer asked, 'What do people usually ask you,' and I said, 'They always want to know what it was like working with Bea.' She was fantastic and, you know, I realized years later how much I took it for granted because it was my first experience on television. I just assumed that everyone was as giving as she was, as professional as she was, that everyone who was doing a TV show showed up knowing their lines and showed up on time and was willing to say to the writers, 'I think this line was funnier if Adie had said it or Conrad had said it or Bill had said it.' I mean, she was just the best, she was the best, very funny. She was not Maude when she wasn't saying those lines. I don't know if I'd say she was quiet. She was a homebody. She had her sons, her dog and her cooking and she wasn't into the celebrity scene and she was a great lady. I loved her dearly and we had a great cast and they were my family for six years. I loved each of them and all of them and it was the best experience anyone could've had, being introduced to television like that!"{{cite web|url=http://www.dreadcentral.com/news/268471/brainwaves-episode-80-legendary-actress-adrienne-barbeau-listen-now|title=Brainwaves Episode 80: Legendary Actress Adrienne Barbeau|website=Dread Central|date=March 8, 2018|access-date=March 9, 2018|archive-date=October 3, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221003062122/https://www.dreadcentral.com/news/268471/brainwaves-episode-80-legendary-actress-adrienne-barbeau-listen-now/|url-status=live}}

Barbeau was cast in numerous television films and series such as The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, Valentine Magic on Love Island, and Battle of the Network Stars. In her autobiography, she claimed: "I actually thought CBS asked me to be on Battle of the Network Stars because they thought I was athletic. My husband clued me in: who cared if I won the race, as long as I bounced when I ran?"{{sfn|Barbeau|2006|p=114}}

The popularity of Barbeau's 1978 cheesecake poster confirmed her status as a sex symbol. Barbeau's popularity stemmed partly from what critic Joe Bob Briggs referred to as the "two enormous talents on that woman,"{{cite web |author=Briggs, Joe Bob |author-link=Joe Bob Briggs |title="The Fog" Intro |url=http://www.joebobbriggs.com/mvtranscripts/fog.html |access-date=April 6, 2006 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060307041221/http://www.joebobbriggs.com/mvtranscripts/fog.html |archive-date=March 7, 2006 |url-status=dead}} and her typecasting as a "tough broad". Despite her initial success, she said at the time that she thought of Hollywood as a "flesh market" and that she would rather appear in films that "explore the human condition" and "deal with issues".{{cite web| author=Roger Ebert| author-link=Roger Ebert| title=Interview with Adrienne Barbeau| work=Chicago Sun-Times| url=http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F19800203%2FPEOPLE%2F2030301%2F1023| access-date=March 9, 2006| date=February 3, 1980| archive-date=June 29, 2006| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060629053538/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F19800203%2FPEOPLE%2F2030301%2F1023| url-status=dead}}

Barbeau's then-husband, director John Carpenter, cast her in his horror film, The Fog (1980), which was her first theatrical film appearance. The film was released on February 1, 1980, and was a theatrical success, grossing over $21 million in the United States alone,{{cite web | title=The Fog (1980) | work=Box Office Mojo | url=http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=fog.htm |access-date=March 9, 2006| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20060213042546/http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=fog.htm| archive-date= February 13, 2006 | url-status= live}} and establishing Barbeau as a genre film star.
