Kathryn Harrold in Modern Romance (1981)

She occupies a prominent place on my list of women who should have gotten naked a lot more. For that matter, she’s also on my list of actresses who should have had better careers than they actually did, right up there with Jennifer Ehle. Harrold wasn’t a really outstanding actress like Ehle, but she had a special quality that always made her appealing and sympathetic on screen. And of course she was mighty easy on the eyes.

Did you know that she was married for about 20 years to MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell? And then they were divorced, so that was truly The Final Word. If you did know that, you’re a step ahead of me. I just discovered it.

Harrold is 70 years old now and works as a marriage therapist.

The third episode of Red Shoe Diaries featured Denise Crosby, Star Trek babe and granddaughter of Der Bingle. That makes it sound as if she had a squeaky clean image, but she did not. She had posed for Playboy some 13 years before she performed on Red Shoe Diaries. This, by the way, was the first of two appearances she would make in the series, playing two different characters. She was in her mid-30s.
