The mysterious woman who saves Bill's life after he's exposed at the orgy is thought to be Mandy, the very girl who's life he had saved from an overdose in the film's opening high society Christmas party scene.

The girl at the party (who's face is clearly visible) is actress Julienne Davis, however, another actress, Abigail Good, has claimed that it is in fact her body visible at the orgy, face obscured by a mask, as revealed by the Independent in 2011:

"I spent a year working on that movie. I was the one at the wrap. My scenes with Tom were the last Stanley ever shot and I got a credit, as the mysterious woman. Stanley's nephew even signed a photograph of me on the back with the words `To the mysterious woman who was later revealed to be the wonderful Abigail.'"

Davis countered with:

"No, it's all me. Abigail Good was just an extra. And anyway, she's English."

IMDB has them listed as two different characters played by two different actors. Are they then NOT the same person?
