She looks familier as everything, but I can't place it. What is her name and where/what is she from?

She kind of resembles Marisa Tomei, could that be what makes her seem familiar?

I'm not sure but she has one of the most annoying voices I've heard in a while.

And the way she holds her hand when doing an aside to the audience as she bad mouths the sumo wrestler...ouch! You freaky weirdo, don't make your hand do that!

Annoying voice? Are you kidding me? She is perfection itself. If I was a stalker I'd be stalking her. I think I'm in love with the Glad girl. :SIGH:

I like her too. I like when she says, "Mike Ditka is mad...as a bear!"

Whenever I see her, I think "the voice of Lisa Simpson, the hair of Paige Davis."

(Paige Davis == [annoying] host of Trading Spaces)

That's because she is Paige Davis.

Brent, I think Munch was joking because that definitely isn't Paige Davis.

Those commercials annoy me like you wouldn't believe.
I have to change the channel when they come on.

Yes, I just realized that also after looking at a picture of her (I'd never seen Paige Davis before). Oh well, the search continues! Call me pathatic, but I actually just emailed Glad asking them, lol. Yeah, like they'll REALLY respond! :smack:

She's always reminded me of Colleen, the girl from the first Survivor.

Glad bags, wraps and containers are assigned to DDB Needham, San Francisco. This represents a new product category for the agency, although the agency currently handles home cleaning brands.

....hello, DDB Needham? Yes, could I speak to somebody in production please? For the glad bags spots. Yes, I'll hold. Hi, my name is Peter Schmelzenbangershmitzenharber, I'm a production assistant in a small agency here in schmitzenville, and I was wondering if you have a contact number for the lovely lady on your glad bag ads. More specifically, we are wondering if her contract would exclude doing some voice talent work far a local chain of bagel shops. Sure......I'll hold. (repeat same speal when you are put in touch with someone in the contracts area). GREAT! No exclusions! Do you have her name and agents contact information?

Thanks, I have to go choke the chicken now that I have seriptisiously gleaned my dream girls name......ooops, did I say that out loud?

I don't think it's out of place...

"You know I didn't even know her name
But I was never gonna be the same..."

I really think that she is Lara Jill Miller from "Gimme a Break". Seems like I saw her on a 'where are they now?' type show & she was then doing voice work on a cartoon, something like Digimon that I'd never seen, much less heard.
NurseCarmen

I think DeepPurple has it. I googled Lara Jill Miller, and got this http://www.sitcomsonline.com/larajillmiller.html . I'd have to say that looks very much like that perky girl in the commercials.

I'm with JuanitaTech on this one. Not only do I find her voice excruciatingly annoying, but I think the commercials themselves are almost as silly as her hairstyle. This seems to bother me out of all proportion, not usually being the type of person to pick apart things like this. Haven't yet seen the freaky-hand-thing on the Sumo commercial. That may yet redeem her in my eyes.

I hate to be a wet blanket, but I don't think she is Laura Jill Miller.

Whether it's her selling Glad bags or not, that Laura Jill Miller sure grew up to be a cutie!

*sheesh*

Okay, I'm totaly curious now, so I broke down and called the production company to dig for a little info.

.....I was not the first person to call.

C'Mon people!

If you have vital information in regards to our duty to search out the truth, share it! I was too flummoxed to continue on with my line of questioning. All I found was that, no, she is not Lara Jill Miller.

Her name is Melanie Deanne Moore (http://www.geocities.com/gladgirlgalore/).

Having cracked one of the long-standing SDMB mysteries, I expect some serious adulation here, folks.

Holy.Crap.

I can't put into words how awesome it is that you have done this, because I've been trying to figure it out ever since the first commercial came out, THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!

I admit it, I'm TOTALLY obsessed with her, I just find her so damn cute. I know it's sick, but hey, I'm a sick puppy, heh.

Dude... She is pretty darn near the cutest thang goin'. Every time I see one of those commercials I giggle like a schoolgirl... except the one with that little whiney, screechy Gilbert Gottfried (sp?) in it... HE wierds me out.

Don't get too excited guys, but according to her IMDB listing, Ms. Moore played the part of a masturbating co-ed in Slackers. Maybe that gives you some ideas on future movies to rent...;)

Woohoo! :eek:

In Ready to Rumble, which girl was Wendy? It says she played her, but I don't remember. Was she that other guy's g/f?

I haven't seen the current ads, but I always used to call the original Man from Glad "the Baggie Fairy". Maybe I didn't treat him with the proper respect, but it amused me at the time.

She'll be appearing in Behind the Camera: The Unauthorized Story of Three's Company this Monday on NBC. She plays Joyce DeWitt.

Wow. I'd been undecided about whether to watch that or not -- this may push me over the edge (sic).

How cool! I was planning on watching the Three's Company movie anyway. I wonder if I would have figured it out that it was her playing Janet.

I didn't know who that was. Thanks for the info. CG and I always thought she was the annoying first 3-4 eps host of "While You Were Out" before they switched to that hot Hispanic chick whose name escapes me at the moment.

The girl who plays the first waitress in the Sony Vaio commercials, she was the girl in the Kia commercials with the dog and changing boyfriends, who runs out of gas on the bridge in the last scene.

Who is she?

Hopefully, this will take less than 10 months. I will not stalk her, I'm just curious. She reminds me of an ex-GF.
