This former actress was spotted in Los Angeles on a rare outing with her adorable white Chihuahua earlier this week.

The 68-year-old television star was pictured running errands with her cute pooch along for the ride in a carrier strapped to her chest.

She’s best known for replacing one of the stars of a hit ’70s sitcom as it moved into the 1980s.

Later that decade, she joined the cast of a massively popular primetime soap opera for several years.

After establishing herself as a sex symbol on screen, this star posed for Playboy in 1987 – but with unusual stipulations that kept the photoshoot on her terms. 

Can you guess who she is?

The 68-year-old television star was pictured running errands with her cute pooch along for the ride in a carrier strapped to her chest – who is she?

She’s former television actress Jenilee Harrison.

The Daily Mail has contacted Harrison for comment but has not received a response. 

Harrison is most identified with two of the biggest hits of ’70s and ’80s television: Three’s Company and Dallas.

She was pictured on Sunday as she and her dog Andy took care of business around Los Angeles.

After original Three’s Company star Suzanne Somers left her costars John Ritter, Joyce DeWitt and Don Knotts adrift in 1980, during season five of the sitcom, Harrison stepped in to fill out the original trio of roommates as Cindy Snow.

While Somers’s character Chrissy Snow was on a trip to see her parents – from which she never returned – Harrison was cast as Chrissy’s cousin, Cindy, who moved into the apartment.

However, Harrison’s stint on the series was short-lived, as her character moved out of the apartment at the start of the show’s sixth season, and from then on she only appeared on a recurring basis for the rest of the season before departing the show to be replaced by Priscilla Barnes.

Harrison continued to appear as a guest on shows including The Love Boat, Fantasy Island and Malibu in the ’80s, before she joined the main cast of Dallas in 1984. 

She played Jamie Ewing, the sister of Jack Ewing (Dack Rambo) and daughter of the estranged brother of Jock Ewing (Jim Davis). 

Harrison appeared in around 69 episodes from season eight through ten. 

She holds the rare distinction of being the only character to be killed off the series twice – first in season nine, when she was dispatched via a bomb, only for the entire season to be reversed when it turned out to have been a dream of Pam Ewing (Victoria Principal), and then for good in Season ten, when she died off-screen while rock climbing. 

In 1987, a year after wrapping up her run on Dallas, Harrison made the controversial choice to pose for Playboy.

However, she managed to keep the upper hand thanks to one unorthodox stipulation in her contract: she wouldn’t be pictured in the nude.

‘It was in my contract that, yes, I’ll do [Playboy], but I have to keep my clothes on,’ Harrison told Fox News Digital in July 2025.

She recalled the confusion and chaos that resulted when she showed up for the photoshoot.

Harrison had it in writing that she would remain clothed, which caused a commotion with the photographer, though she eventually got her way and didn't reveal more than she was comfortable with; picturd in 1981

‘The photographer – a very famous photographer – comes in. He goes, “You’re all ready to go?” And I said, “Well, yeah, where’s my wardrobe?” And he looked shocked,’ she recalled. 

‘He’s like, “Your wardrobe? No, we’re doing Playboy.” And I said, “No, my contract says I’m wearing clothes,”‘ she recounted. ‘He was just shocked.’

She added that ‘everything stopped’ after that awkward conversation.

‘He had to get back on the phone. They had to regroup and bring in wardrobe… He didn’t even know,’ she added. ‘But I had to fight for that.’

Harrison continued to be a popular guest star on shows later in the decade, including Murder, She Wrote and Simon & Simon. 

But she began appearing in considerably fewer shows in the 1990s, and after appearing in the 2002 TV movie The Power, she stepped away from the entertainment business for good. 

Harrison – who was married to Bruce Oppenheim, Cybill Shepherd’s ex-husband, from 1993 to 2022 – now runs a rescue ranch at her residence in the lush Agoura Hills area of Los Angeles.
