One of her best-known film roles was in 1989's gritty James Bond flick Licence To Kill, from the Timothy Dalton era.

Before that, she starred on the late seasons of the classic 1970s and '80s sitcom Three's Company.

The actress later worked with high-profile directors, including Sean Penn, Kevin Smith and Lawrence Kasdan in the 1990s.

She went on to appear in numerous horror films, and scored a late-career triumph with a recurring role on the acclaimed series Jane The Virgin.

This star looked unrecognizable when she was spotted out in Los Angeles earlier this week.

Can you guess who this film and television star is?





She's the 70-year-old actress Priscilla Barnes.

Priscilla was spotted in a cool, casual ensemble that made her look particularly youthful.

She wore relaxed jeans that were ripped at the knee and a magenta T-shirt that she wore without a bra.

The actress, who wore her long blond hair down, was seen arriving home after making a grocery run.

Barnes' achieved her biggest success as a fixture on Three's Company when she joined the show in its final three seasons, from 1981 to '84.

She starred with founding series leads John Ritter and Joyce DeWitt as the nurse Terri Alden, who was one of multiple replacements for original star Suzanne Somers, who rounded out the eponymous trio.

Priscilla was born in Fort Dix, New Jersey, to a father who was a major in the Air Force and a homemaker mother.

She and her three siblings moved around throughout her childhood for their father's work, before they settled in Southern California.



After working as a model in a fashion show, she got her big break in 1973 when Bob Hope spotted her at the show and asked her to join the group of performers he was leading for a performance at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC.

Buoyed by her newfound success, she relocated from San Diego to Los Angeles to pursue a career in Hollywood.

Her small early roles included a part on the Lynda Carter–starring Wonder Woman, but she got her first serious screen attention for playing a nurse with a single line on a 1975 episode of Columbo.

From there, she scored guest roles on The Rockford Files, Starsky & Hutch, Kojak and The Love Boat, among other late-'70s shows.

One of her early film roles was in 1978's college sex comedy The Seniors, in which she starred with a young Dennis Quaid.

After Three's Company, her '80s TV appearances included a guest role on Murder, She wrote, as well as two unrelated stints on The Love Boat and two separate roles years apart on Hotel.

In 1989, she joined the James Bond franchise by playing the wife of the secret agent's longtime friend Felix Leiter in Licence To Kill, though her character was violently dispatched early on in the film.

Priscilla remained prolific, and she appeared in numerous films throughout the '90s, including the horror film Stepfather III, the Sean Penn–directed drama The Crossing Guard, which starred Jack Nicholson, and Kevin Smith's comedy Mallrats.

She also worked with Star Wars scribe Lawrence Kasdan on his comedy Mumford in 1999.

Her 2000s and 2010s projects were less prestigious for the most part, but she did appear in the cult-classic horror film The Devil's Rejects in 2005, which was written and directed by Rob Zombie.

In 2014, she scored one of her best roles as the scheming Magda on Jane The Virgin.

Her character was the mother of Petra (Yael Grobglas) who tried to help her daughter take over a hotel owned by her husband Rafael (Justin Baldoni).

Priscilla has been married to the actor Ted Monte since 2003.

I wonder if it ever annoys Priscilla if or whenever people who recognize her in person ask her stand on one leg like she does in the opening credits at the zoo when she's near the pink flamingos :
