I LOVE this movie and I have ALWAYS been curious which REAL actress was DANCING while jake scully was looking through the telescope? YES, I know that in the movie it was supposed to be "holly body" (melanie griffith) but I always assumed it was ACTUALLY "gloria revelle" (deborah shelton)..... does ANYONE know for sure?

It was Melanie.

Y'know, I could eat a peach for hours

How does anyone know for sure that it was ACTUALLY melanie griffith???

Going by her breasts and her body, looks the same.

Yeah De Palma says in the blu ray extras that it's Melanie Griffith. He mentions that she was coached by Annette Haven and was basically using moves from Haven's live performances.

I just watched it and the woman has bigger breasts than Melanie -- they even cut from the mystery woman to Melanie in the porn video.

The woman dancing definitely has larger tits.

If your supposition is that "nobody knows," then why did you ask an unanswerable question? Duh!
