Mork & Mindy star Pam Dawber, 72, models a big hat during a rare sighting with her NCIS vet husband Mark Harmon at a vintage flea market in LA
Pam Dawber and Mark Harmon made a very rare sighting together at a vintage flea market in Santa Monica, California.
The couple - who wed in 1987 - enjoyed quality time together on Sunday as they searched for unique finds.
Pam wore high-waisted jeans, a white blouse, and sneakers. The Mork & Mindy star sported an over-the-shoulder purse and donned a straw hat to cover her short grey hair.
Mark opted to keep it casual in dark blue shorts, a white polo shirt, flip-flops, and a sun visor.
The Life... and Stuff actress and the NCIS star have been married for 37 years and they share two sons: Sean, 36, and Ty, 32.

In 2016, Pam revealed why she stepped away from Hollywood after having kids.
'I don't think two people can work all the time in show business and stay married,' the 72-year-old confessed to Entertainment Tonight.
Reflecting on the legendary comedy show Mork & Mindy, which she starred in alongside the late Robin Williams, Pam added, 'I was in a number one show.'
'I had my own deal,' she continued. 'I got to do Broadway. I got to do musical theater. I got to do cartoon voices. I did everything you can do in this business, and then I had children and it's like, "I'm not going to chase this fame thing."'
Pam was last a series regular in 1998 while voicing Perdy in the animated TV show 101 Dalmatians: The Series.
After starring in the TV movie Don't Look Behind You in 1999, the Trail of Tears actress stepped away for good.
'I wanted to drive my kids to school,' Pam told the outlet. 'I wanted to be there for their birthdays and bring cupcakes and donuts and do the school festivals and all that, and I did. I got to teach in their art class and so it was a different life then and I was very happy to do it.'
It was also important to the icon to keep her family's private life out of the tabloids.
'Notice you don't see us in the magazines,' she stated. 'When you're married, that's real life. And to go and plaster your kids... I'm sorry. I'm not for that.'

And at the time, Pam even confessed that her sons hadn't watched her body of work- something she is more than okay with.
'I'm just their mom,' she said. 'They don't care about what I did. They care about what they are doing. They want their parents to care about what they are doing. Their father is already iconic enough for two boys. I am just the mom.'
However, fifteen years later, Pam returned to television in a limited capacity.
Pam worked alongside her former costar Robin on his show, The Crazy Ones, in 2014 and reflected on being roped into appearing on the sitcom by her longtime pal.
'I hadn't seen Robin for 20 years,' she recalled to ET. 'I did that episode because I wanted to be with Robin. I wanted to see Robin. That was a gift. That was such a gift.'
She also guest starred in The Odd Couple in 2016 for a tribute episode to the late Garry Marshall- who gave the comedians their start on Mork & Mindy.

The mom-of-two revealed why she stepped away from Hollywood after having kids despite her massive success: 'I don't think two people can work all the time in show business and stay married'
'Garry affected all of our lives,' the mom-of-two acknowledged. 'Garry put us all on the map and we all had careers because of Garry. We kind of just orbited around Garry's big star.'
And most recently, in 2021, Pam worked with her husband in seven episodes of NCIS.
At the time, the Dream On alum spoke about her role as Marcie Warren, described by the series as 'a seasoned investigative journalist who uses her savvy wit and down-to-earth people skills to aid in her tireless pursuit of truth.'
'Trust me, I've been answering a lot of questions about that within my own friend group,' Pam told Entertainment Weekly about being opposite Mark. 'I was like, no, this is not going to be romantic.'
Nevertheless, this was a long time coming for Pam.
'The show has been on for a hundred years, and they have come at me a few times,' she shared. 'Either I just didn't want to do it or I didn't appreciate what it was they wanted me to do. Or it was near Christmas and it was like, "I can't do this. I've got my parents coming into town." I just haven't been interested in, you know, chasing the business.'
Pam added, 'At this age, that's what you do. You'd have to really want it. I just don't want to put myself out anymore.'

She recalled of the script: 'The character is so good. I just fell in love with what they wrote. And then I had anxiety like, "Oh my God, am I going to do this?"'
This time around was different after Pam's agent emailed her about the role.
'I guess they had created this character Marcie,' she continued. 'Mark didn't tell me about it. Suddenly I have an email from my agent and I was like, "Oh, poor Harry, my poor agent, here we go again. I'm going to turn him down." And he goes, "Well, you might want to read this."
'I guess they were running names for who they could bring in for it and Mark said, "You should be talking to my wife about this character,"' Pam remembered. 'The character is so good. I just fell in love with what they wrote. And then I had anxiety like, "Oh my God, am I going to do this?"'
And that she did, with her life partner right by her side.
'My husband is so supportive of me,' Pam gushed. 'He's just a giving, great guy. He just gives me attagirls, you know? It's fun because Gibbs grunts out a lot of lines. He doesn't give a lot. So they go toe-to-toe. He frustrates the hell out of Marcie. So they've got this oddball relationship where they're checking each other out. She doesn't understand whether is he a truth teller. Is this guy for real? And he's thinking sort of the same thing about her.'
As for if Marcie's arc has ended for good? As Pam put it, 'I'm not sure it's over!'
