I keep hearing about this "One Life to Live" episode where she was wearing a jester's costume during a dream sequence, and that's what inspired Paul Dini to cast her as Harley Quinn does anyone have a video clip or a still shot of this scene? Thanks!

Actually that very episode gave Dini the idea for Harley Quinn. He didn't just create the character first and saw Arleen on tv and thought she'd make a good voice.
Dini was a friend of Arleen Sorkin's for years before her doing the voice for the cartoon.
He based a some of Harley's personality after Arleen Sorkin's and even took her name and just added an H.
Originally Dini didn't intend to use Sorkin's voice for the character but in the end he realized that would be better.
Arleen SorKIN
Harleen QUINzel
Harley Quinn
There's the inspiration for the name and character.
No, I haven't had any luck in finding this video from that episode of "Days of our Lives" either.
Btw, any other voice actress has some serious huge shoues to fill trying to emaluate Sorkin's brilliant work. Apparently they picked Hynden Welch to voice Harley Quinn in the new cartoons since she sounds somewhat like AS. Must say I don't hear a similarity. -
