A year-old comment on the Canon typewriter commercial identifies the actress as Regina Scott. ---

Welcome to the SD! Hampshire turned 45 the year that video was released. That actress was definitely not in that age range. ---

Oh, Crafter\_Man found her, all right. She was young but getting old before her time, so they left the TV and the radio behind… Don’t you wonder what they’ll find, steppin’ out tonight? If you see them (in a yellow taxi), she’ll be dressed in pink and blue just like a child… and smiling. ---

I’m going to reanimate this zombie again. I used to follow this thread years ago. In a moment of boredom I asked the Microsoft AI the identity of the actress in the Joe Jackson Steppin Out video and it confidently replied “Regina Scott”. I have no idea when this was added but it’s now on the IMDB page for the video: > **[Regina Scott | Actress](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm16174418/?ref_=ttfc_fcr_cst_2)** > > Known for: Joe Jackson: Steppin' Out So the answer is official!

I’m not great at faces, but the Regina Scott in that Linkedin link sure looked liked the woman in the video. How does something become ‘official’ on IMDB, though? ---

In this case it just means that some with an IMDB account sent in a cast update to add her name. Personally I wouldn’t call that ‘official’ since someone could have turned in any name, and in a low visibility title like this, it probably would have passed. –Earl, on IMDB’s Top Contributor list for over 20 years. ---

My curiosity and musings were going along the lines someone from this thread added the detail to IMDB so I was surprised when I checked this thread and it hadn’t been updated. Then again. Someone upthread says they tried contacting Regina. Wonder whether she updated IMDB?
