Does anyone know the name of an actress on the October 12 episode who was also on the "Midnight Caller" series?

Just adding a bit a trivia, I think, but isn't she David Cassidy's first wife?

-- Deb (KHege@AOL.com), October 13, 2000.

She was also on the short-lived courtroom show "Reasonable Doubts." That one had Marlee Matlin in the main role as a deaf lawyer and Mark Harmon as Marlee's best friend and (later) Kay Lenz's lover. Not a bad show, but not great.

That's "Emmy Winner" Kay Lenz. She won an emmy for her guest appearance on an episode of "Midnight Caller".

Thank you all for answering this I was driving myself nuts last night, because she looked so familiar. I very first saw Kay Lenz on a made-for-TV movie years and years ago (my age will show momentarily) called "Lisa, Bright and Dark" about a teenager with deteriorating mental health whose friends helped her get help. She was a very young actress then, and brilliant. Nice to see her again, and turning in a good performance here.

Are you talking about the football players mom?

-- amanda (amanda.rehm@home.com), October 14, 2000.

Yep, Amanda, the football player's mom was played by Kay Lenz. She's been around for a long, long time. Patti, I'd forgotten about "Lisa..." I looked KL up on IMDB.com and discovered that came out in 1973 (and her only older credit was from 1972). She has a long credit list and, yes, she was married to David Cassidy for several years.

I just saw an old episode of the Andy Griffith show that had a young teenage girl that looked just like Kay Lenz. The credits showed her name as Kay Ann Kemper. Anybody know if that is her? Or does anybody know where I can find biography information on her on the web?
