My most vivid memory of Arleen Sorkin is as "Woman at party" in Trading Places. Probably because i watch that movie at least once a year during the holidays. RIP

It was pretty cool to see a character created for the animated TV show filter back into the comics. Iconic character and a great voice I'll never forget.
