AboutMarcia Studley Expertise I`m a true member of the tv generation! I grew up doing my homework while watching the classics of the 60`s and 70`s and today, they are still my favorites. I have a big library of tv and film reference books at my disposal, as well as a large video library. My memory is pretty darn good too, and when that fails, I can hit the books and/or videos, not to mention a few friends who are as devout tv gen members as I am.

Expert: Marcia Studley Date: 8/6/2007 Subject: trying to find an actress' name
Question Hi, there...
There was a TV movie in the mid 80's about an alien who is running from bad aliens from her planet. She hides on Earth disguised as a woman. A man meets her and tries to help her hide and learn about Earth at the same time. Of course he falls for her and during their big intimate scene, Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" is playing. Eventually the bad aliens find her and she has to leave. The man is crushed, but off she goes. I remember that when she is in her regular alien-form, she's a point of light. I'm trying to find out who the actress is so that I can find the movie. I remember that she looked A LOT like Barbara Hershey. No, it's not Barbara, but the similarities are really close. Does this ring any bells for you? I keep thinking that a TV movie with such a huge song in it would be easier to find, but it's not! Since the song was released in 1984, I'm guessing that this alien TV movie aired within a year or two of the song release. Or later? Help! Thanks!
Answer HI Jen,
I tried all kinds of searches on this over the last couple of days, but like you said, it's a toughie. I couldn't find the plot description or the song use. If you can think of anything else that might help, don't hesitate to pass it on and I'll try again.
