My Take

Pam Dawber had the nearly impossible job of playing straight woman to Robin Williams at the absolute peak of his improvisational chaos, and she made it look effortless. Mork & Mindy works because she grounds it, giving the audience a relatable anchor while Williams flies off into the stratosphere. That kind of generous, unselfish performing is underrated. She wisely stepped back from the spotlight to focus on family with Mark Harmon, which makes her occasional returns feel like a treat. A warm, capable performer who never needed the limelight to prove herself.
