Columbo is searching for Lewis Lacey and he goes to his former employer's office and interacts with a very attractive woman about 30 year old wearing a colorful print dress, she has a slightly sarcastic attitude as she gets Columbo a computer printout.
I would like to know the name of the actress. If anyone can help I would appreciate it! Thanks

Susan Jacoby (not the author), but this is apparently not a 100% definitive answer as you can see by the comments below in the first link, and the posts in the second link.
This question has come up from time to time with no 100% for sure answer. People (including myself) love her portrayal as an officious clerk in this small role. She steals the scene and it is quite memorable.
