For a good time call

Tommy Tutone has caused many people phone problems with his song 867-5309.
However, one talk show host back in the 1980s placed what turned out to be a very expensive phone call on the air.

Some people have a habit of when they're placing a phone call they'll recite the numbers as they dial them.  They'll do this without even thinking about it.

The co-star of a famous television actress was being interviewed, and the host decided to call the actress.  On her home phone.
To this day, the former host insists they did not intend to reveal the actress's unlisted phone number to the world.
But the actress made an undisclosed sum from the court proceedings that followed.

Name the talk show host.
Name the actress.
Name the co-star being interviewed.

Hint...the race car driver below shares his name with the character played by the co-star.
The race took place at Anglesey.
