Mork & Mindy[]
Timothy plays Madge, an attractive, not overly bright but quite sweet and naïve woman, currently making her living as a stripper. With Mindy going undercover as a fellow stripper (Miss Mindy Rose Lee, 'The Boulder Bombshell') and Mork as her agent, they meet Cherry at the auditions for the Bare Facts club, where Madge's 'specialty' is a childlike act involving a 'Bear' of the Teddy variety.
Like the other girls auditioning, Madge shows no real concern about the place possibly being closed down under Nelson's proposed policy (which is leading to him being threatened). There are, she says, always other places to work. And like the other girls too, she doesn't go over well with Ron, the club manager, when she does her act. Which mostly involves taking the clothes off her toy teddy bear. Indignant at being pulled off stage she wishes Mindy a genuine heartfelt good luck in her audition.
