This evening I watched a re-run episode of Ally McBeal. It was the episode where the young boy with Leukemia wants to sue God. I could swear that the actress who played the boy's mother is the same actress who played "Loretta", the prostitute, on ER. Did anyone see this episode, and can anyone confirm my suspicion? Thanks,

Yeah, it's her. I don't know her real name, sorry.

The actress' name is Mary Mara, and she has been in some other stuff too. Before or right around the same time as ER, she was also a regular on Nash Bridges.
