I looked it up, and it was not even mentioned on IMDB, but it was the real Ellen Foley. It was one day, maybe just one scene, of her playing Hope on the phone. About Alan-Michael.
I was watching with a group of other people my own age who knew her from her collaboration with Meatloaf and her own single, Young Lust, so there was no mistake. We were all shocked, even exstatically hopeful that she would take the role... and there was the announcement "the role of Hope Bauer is being played by Ellen Foley" or we might not have even processed it was her. I knew her from radio but not her broadway past. Certainly not by appearance but my friends who knew better confirmed it.
It must have been just prior to her time on Night Court. By then I knew it was the same person.
