She played Lieutenant Regina Hoffman, not Hopkins.
Sad to learn of her passing.

The Rockford Files was on from 1974-79 but the recurring character was
only in the final season (1979-80) in the episodes with Lauren Bacall
and Rita Morena. She appeared as a different character in an earlier
episode (with Larry Linville) in 1977-78 the year after LL left MASH.
She also appeared with Larry Linville on Mannix in which LL played a
recurring character.

Also interesting is that I once lived in Beaverton.
She preferred the alias Michaels (for obvious reasons), but I'll
always remember her best as Garner's main squeeze in Marlowe
