I just made a commercial that’s just been all over television, i play this lady who comes in and dumps a lot of coins on the counter. And I say, ‘ That’s just from my first husband. ’ … I have gotten more fan mail for that ! Every time I go out … [ People ] say, ‘ Are you that lady from the commercial ? ’ But if you saw it, you would just love it because it’s funny. Like ‘ Batman, ’ it was very funny.
