I think she is, I'd heard that before. At least we kmow she wasn't the mom on the Ivory Snow box!

It was Bogart.

Cool. I always liked her.

Actually, I think the only thing I've ever seen her in was "Battlestar: Galactica". She played Apollo's wife, Selena.

No, wait, I saw "Dr. Quinn" once. Watched the whole show waiting for Mr. Rogers to show up.

She's not that old. She's also not Ann Cook.
