Yes.  She did most of the female vocals on the "Bat Out Of Hell" album,
but she didn't tour with Meat Loaf (at least not on the tour I saw in '78.
Karla DeVito replaced her).  After that, she became the girlfriend of one of The
Clash (I can't remember whether it was Strummer or Jones), and helped out
on "Sandinista!" (their best album by far in my opinion, but many disagree).
Shortly after that she did an album of her own, which consisted mostly of
Strummer-Jones compositions.  I haven't heard it but I've been told that, as
you might expect, it sounds very Clash-like.  I can't remember the name of
the album, but I think it's two words, one of which is "night."  (I don't
think the other is "court".)  That's the last I heard of her until she popped
up on "Night Court".  I have no idea how she got into acting.
