I Googled her to jog my memory. She dated producer Robert Morton and replaced another producer with him on the ABC sitcom Over the Top.
"By the time the pilot was filmed, ABC Entertainment president Ted Harbert had been replaced by Jamie Tarses, whom executive producer Robert Morton was dating.[5] Rumors began to swirl that the series was only picked up as a result of their romance, and it did not help matters that the press was only shown snippets of the pilot episode.[6] In the months between the time the series was picked up and its scheduled premiere, Morton and Tarses' relationship ended.
Originally slated to debut on September 23, 1997[7] the show's premiere was delayed until October 21, opposite the World Series,[5] so it could be retooled. Natanya Ross and Debra Jo Rupp were replaced by Marla Sokoloff and Liz Torres, and John O'Hurley's character was written into the show on a recurring basis. Kate was renamed Hadley and her character became more sympathetic toward Simon. The setting was changed to New York City and the pilot was reshot (as the episode "I'm Bonnie, I'm Clyde"). The reason given for the retooling was because in NYC there would be more opportunities "for comedic interaction with city characters",[8] but the press began to speculate that the changes were again a result of the failed Tarses/Morton romance. Morton sidestepped this question by claiming, "We needed to give Tim a bigger playing field,"[7] and that the cast "was not as comfortable with each other as we wanted".[7] ABC, meanwhile, claimed that they did not want their 8:00 p.m. lead-in show, Soul Man, to face off against what was expected to be a high-rated season premiere of Mad About You,[7] so they rearranged the schedule. "By shifting Soul Man's time slot for the first few weeks of the season," Tarses released in a public statement, "we're giving this pivotal series the luxury to recapture its audience without intense premiere competition." [9] The show's stars, however, remained optimistic. Curry went on a promotional tour, appearing on talk shows such as The View,[10] Vibe,[11] Live with Regis and Kathie Lee,[12][13] and Arthel & Fred,[4] though interviewers seemed to focus less on Over the Top and more on The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Potts, meanwhile, also did some interviews, barely acknowledging the behind the scenes problems and claiming that the show should speak for itself.
Over the Top received minuscule network promotion (generally only small blurbs tacked onto the ends of commercials for Soul Man[14]) and aired for three weeks with dismal ratings before being canceled (in some markets the final November 4 episode was bumped off the schedule unannounced for election coverage, and some TV Guide listings were a little slow to catch up, citing the unaired episodes "Who's Afraid of Simon Ferguson?" and "The Review" in the weeks following the show's cancellation). Production was instantly halted two episodes shy of the standard 13-episode order for a new series,[15] and almost immediately following the show's cancellation, executive producers Mitchel Katlin and Nat Bernstein cried foul,[15] blaming the Morton/Tarses breakup for the demise of the show."
