This beauty was a thriving actress in the 1980s and 1990s as she was known for her great looks and fast one liners.
The Hollywood veteran is best known for working with the actors Woody Harrelson, Randy Quaid and Bill Murray in a 1996 comedy.
But the svelte siren was also on a popular TV show for five years; it was based on a hit movie.
The knockout also worked with David Schwimmer, James Belushi, Chevy Chase and Dan Aykroyd on the silver screen.
And she popped up on the TV shows Baywatch and Melrose Place.
Before acting, she was a fashion model.
Now at the age of 57 she still looks like a pretty pinup. The star was seen in a tiny string bikini that displayed her toned tummy, sculpted arms and strong legs in a series of snaps shared to Instagram this week.
