Rebeca Arthur on Perfect Strangers, Bill Murray and Her Years as a Private Eye

Rebeca Arthur was hired for one week on Perfect Strangers and stayed eight years.

Before that she was a working private investigator in New York, and one of her agency's cases was Robert Durst. She talks about playing Mary Anne Spencer opposite Bronson Pinchot's Balki Bartokomous, photocopying her own backside for Scrooged, improvising with Bill Murray, getting career advice from Bob Newhart at a table read, and the dog who got a SAG paycheck out of Match Game. Forty years after Perfect Strangers premiered, she is still working, still funny, and still friends with almost everyone she has ever worked with.
