MacFarlane was born in Kent, Connecticut. Her parents, Ronald Milton MacFarlane (b. 1946) and Ann Perry (née Sager; 1947–2010), were born in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Her older brother is filmmaker, animator, and actor Seth MacFarlane (b. 1973). MacFarlane's parents met in 1970, when they both lived and worked in Boston, Massachusetts, and married later that year. The couple moved to Kent in 1972, where Ann began working in the Admissions Office at South Kent School. She later worked in the College Guidance and Admissions Offices at the Kent School, a selective college preparatory school where Ronald also was a teacher.

MacFarlane went to Boston Conservatory but did not graduate before moving to Los Angeles to begin a career in voice acting.

She remained an incidental cast member on Family Guy for several years, as well as working for both The Walt Disney Company and Cartoon Network. In 2005, she was cast in American Dad!, where she voices Hayley Smith, protagonist Stan Smith’s rebellious teenage daughter.
