This in on a rare outing with her adorable white Chihuahua earlier this week.

The 68-year-old television star was pictured running errands with her cute pooch along for the ride in a carrier strapped to her chest.

She's best known for replacing one of the stars of a hit '70s sitcom as it moved into the 1980s.

Later that decade, she joined the cast of a massively popular primetime soap opera for several years.

After establishing herself as sex symbol on screen, this star posed for Playboy in 1987 – but with unusual stipulations that kept the photoshoot on her terms.

Can you guess who she is?

The 68-year-old television star was pictured running errands with her cute pooch along for the ride in a carrier strapped to her chest - who is she?

She's former television actress Jenilee Harrison.

The Daily Mail has contacted Harrison for comment but has not received a response.

Harrison is most identified with two of the biggest hits of '70s and '80s television: Three's Company and Dallas.

Harrison continued to appear as a guest on shows including The Love Boat, Fantasy Island and Malibu in the '80s, before she joined the main cast of Dallas in 1984; seen with Ken Kercheval (L) and Victoria Principal (R)

She played Jamie Ewing, who holds the rare distinction of being the only character to be killed off the series twice – first in season nine, which turned out to all be a dream, and then for good in Season ten, when she died off-screen while rock climbing; pictured with Larry Hagman

In 1987, a year after wrapping up her run on Dallas, Harrison made the controversial choice to pose for Playboy, but she managed to keep the upper hand thanks to one unorthodox stipulation in her contract: she wouldn't be pictured in the nude; pictured in 1981

Harrison had it in writing that she would remain clothed, which caused a commotion with the photographer, though she eventually got her way and didn't reveal more than she was comfortable with; picturd in 1981

'The photographer – a very famous photographer – comes in. He goes, "You’re all ready to go?" And I said, "Well, yeah, where’s my wardrobe?" And he looked shocked,' she recalled.

'He’s like, "Your wardrobe? No, we’re doing Playboy." And I said, "No, my contract says I’m wearing clothes,"' she recounted. 'He was just shocked.'

'He had to get back on the phone. They had to regroup and bring in wardrobe… He didn’t even know,' she added. 'But I had to fight for that.'

Harrison continued to be a popular guest star on shows later in the decade, including Murder, She Wrote and Simon & Simon.

But she began appearing in considerably fewer shows in the 1990s, and after appearing in the 2002 TV movie The Power, she stepped away from the entertainment business for good.

Harrison – who was married to Bruce Oppenheim, Cybill Shepherd's ex-husband, from 1993 to 2022 – now runs a rescue ranch at her residence in the lush Agoura Hills area of Los Angeles.
