Thanks for the information. I knew about Kirstie Alley and saw her episode. She looked really good and appeared to flirt with Gene and one of the stars( don't remember which star). She was an architect/interior designer living in Washington state. I saw Jenny Jones today. She was Jenny Wilburn, from London, Ontario, Canada. I watch Match Game all the time and was curious if there were others. Thanks for the info. If anyone has anymore info it would be great. Thanks again.

Now, granted...we are not talking academy award winners, however, here are a few more:

Brianne Leary from CHiPs and Petsburgh, U.S.A.
A contestant in 1976 and later became a panelist. She's the only person to ever play both.

Chris Cranston Miss April 1971 Playboy's Playmate of the Month. A contestant in 1977. Episodes 964, 965, 966, and 967.

Contestant Aphrodite Jones
Week 47, 1978
Aphrodite said she was from New York and currently a student at UCLA studying Acting and Law. Gene thought that was a very interesting combo. Aphrodite said she hasn't decided which one she wanted to do yet. Gene responded with "A Lawyer/Actor would be interesting".
