A year-old comment on the Canon typewriter commercial identifies the actress as Regina Scott.
Heard that she was in a Kellogg’s commercial as well…
Well, Universal burned the records back in 2008 when many original catalogs, including Joe Jackson’s were lost.
I think he looks more like Christian Bale from Batman era.
I found her! Convince me this isn’t her! Regina “Jeannie” Scott. Everything fits. https://www.linkedin.com/in/regina-scott-9149b68
I find it amusing that this thread Re-Zombies with amazing regularity.
And “Jeannie” would have to have done so, too. That video came out forty years ago.
.
Now, the whoosh across the window hides the lines… 
Haven’t we already decided that it’s most likely her?
Has anyone tried asking her about it? It would be fun to have an AMA-style thread about the music video.
I just sent her on message on LinkedIn. I’ll let you know if she replies.
Didn’t Regina Scott play young Susan in the alternate ending of Big?
I was watching this on top of the pops and said she’s familiar, i think it’s Susan hampshire, check her out , monarch of the glen tv programme
Welcome to the SD! Hampshire turned 45 the year that video was released. That actress was definitely not in that age range.
I take it she never replied?
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:
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.
Of course the AI learned that from this thread 
. Shows that the teeming masses are still better than any AI.
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?
