She was a decent actor, but was always cast in the "sex kitten" role. She hardly ever got to display her acting chops.

RIP, Markie.

I know he was cast for the revival of Night Court. Maybe the other two were also contacted. What a shame.

However, will be very happy to see the revival.

She cohosted a show that I was stage managing. She was auditioning for a permanent gig, along with several other successful actors. I remember her being beautiful, funny and a pleasure to work with. I was delighted because I already had a crush on her from watching "Night Court." R.I.P.

Her character was attracted to him which must have been quite a stretch as an actor.

There was an episode of 30 Rock the cast was in (S3 E3), entitled "The One With The Cast Of Night Court." They were all great in it, but she was fantastic playing herself. When talking to Harry Anderson about Emmy nominations: "Well I would've been nominated, too, but I was just too hot to be taken seriously!"

RIP
