    This is what I wrote about this scene, updated yesterday:

    A woman is shown naked from the back in the dressing room of a sleazy dive like a strip club. After she puts on a robe, a guy who looks like a reporter interviewing her is going to take a picture of her with a flash camera. He looks like a total wanker. I originally thought this woman was originally Barbara Anderson, soon to play Eve Whitfield, another of Ironside's team. But Jeff points out that this is Grace Lee Whitney of Star Trek fame, who is in the IMDb cast list for the show as Stripper (uncredited). So what the heck is Whitney doing in the show? She tells the reporter, "If it weren't for Ironside, I'll still be a shoplifter. He made me understand I had a talent. He was a policeman, but he had an eye for the finer things in life." There is no way that this woman can be an "ass and back" stand-in for Barbara Anderson, since there are no edits in the scene. She suddenly appears without any connection to the show except as someone giving Ironside a character reference for being a neat guy. This sort-of-unconnected-with-the-show sequence is foreshadowing some of the stupidities to appear in the series.

    There is another episode in Ironside's first season where there is a "business" shown with guys having tiny flash cameras who are taking pictures of some babe in a bikini, I guess this constituted a "sex business" in the old days.

    You can read about that show here:

    You will notice two of the wankers are standing up in the pix, the third guy is actually lying on the floor in front of her and shooting up!
