| Pretty, blonde, full-figured actor of TV and several feature films who, after ending up on the editing room floor in her first feature, "Three Amigos" (1986), enjoyed the attention she received as the woman in a series of Diet Pepsi ads for whom Michael J. Fox almost literally goes through hell and high water. O'Grady kept busy in guest spots on a variety of TV shows including "Matlock", "Cheers" and "China Beach" (dueting on "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'" with fellow guest star Nancy Sinatra) and played Chad Lowe's leading lady in the cross-dressing teen comedy, "Nobody's Perfect" (1989). TV-movies such as "Parker Kane" (1990) and "The Hit Man" (1991) began to come her way, and O'Grady got a break when she joined the cast of the controversial police drama series, "NYPD Blue" (1993-96) during its first season. Her warm-hearted secretary Donna eventually began an affair with Det. Medavoy (Gordon Clapp) and managed to avoid being pigeonholed as a stereotypical dumb blonde. O'Grady enjoyed reliable television and film roles after her stint on "NYPD Blue" ended, appearing in such diverse films as the popular comedy "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" (1999) and the TV movie drama "Another Woman's Husband" (2000). In 2002, O'Grady was cast in the promising NBC 1960's drama "American Dreams," as the mother of a 15 year old daughter whose dream is to appear on American Bandstand. |

| God Bless you, I hope you believe your life still has an enormous amount of love and blessings that still are in store for you. I loved the strong character you played on your second NYPD stint...this is only the beginning of more to come. Trust that everything you ever wanted is coming your way. ...never write to "celebrities" much too old, somehow I was inspired! | |

| I just got through watching an old tape ( not that old ) that I watched several years ago and did not know you were in it. ( Nothing Lasts Forever )---You were great. I have been a fan since NYPD Blue. Good luck in The future. | |
