If you get METTV you could see her on Welcome back Kotter on Thursday night at 10pm est/pst Only problem is that you have to see and hear Kaplan also! Sorry not again, not ever. maybe that's why Kaplan now plays poker instead of something he sucks at, comedy.

She did an interview several years ago and said that, for reasons she and Kaplan still didn’t understand, producer James Komack played them against each other for the first season or so, telling each things about the other that weren’t true. When someone, I think one of the writers, clued them in on what was happening, they became good friends.
She was actually rather defensive about Kaplan’s reputation on set, saying his battles with Komack really wore on him.

Also Adrienne Barbeau, for a couple of very of very impressive reasons

“Also Adrienne Barbeau, for a couple of very of very impressive reasons”
Swamp Thing comes to mind, along with other movies where she showed her “assets”.

I remember Marcia Strassman doing a great musical collaboration with the Spinal Tap guys (Michael McKean, Christopher Guest, Harry Shearer) called "The Making of 'You Wouldn't Believe Our World.'" This was a parody of the making of a corporate documentary on a fictional multinational company changing its name from Majesco Industries to MJI Inc. The company was actually commissioning a musical to celebrate the name change, so Strassman and McKean were actually singing songs about this random company's products.
So great this is on Youtube because I wore out my VHS version from a old Letterman episode.

No normal male could ever forget Barbi Benton· Pretty much the only playmate worthy of the term.
If I recall correctly, she hasn't had that easy of a go of it, but she's not a screw-up either.
