Holy crap that looks like the same lady! I am now furiously using my google fu to find out more… ---

> [@Pizza1701](#): > > I went to school with her in Rockland County NY. She graduated 2 years before me. My best memory is her first name is Jeannie. When she was younger she was a model for Sears and other catalogs. She did commercials (I’m not aware of any TV or movie rolls) such as this Canon Typewriter one [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K2n0YFjGrw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1K2n0YFjGrw) a shampoo commercial (not sure which one) and a Log Cabin syrup when she was very young. Best that I can remember. What year did you graduate (if that’s not a secret)? Are your initials NCC? 😉 ---

I graduated in 1973. Forgot to post that. Oh, by the way, I go by NCC on the weekends. 😉 I forgot about a quick glimpse of her in a Kellog’s Just Right Cereal at the 19 second mark [1986 - Kellog's Just Right Cereal - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxSsMCB6C-c) ---

Can you check your old high school yearbook for her name? ETA: Like **Blank Slate** , I am also curious as to how you stumbled upon this thread. ---

I don’t have any of my old yearbooks (my ex threw them out) that would have helped. I stumbled upon this thread because, last night I was showing the video to my girlfriend and she asked me her last name and I couldn’t remember it. I was searching Google this morning and wound up here. ---

Cool! My google fu is so far turning up nothing. I’m gonna try and see if I can figure out who produced that Canon ad but that might take me a while. Many thanks for the lead, **Pizza1701**! We’ll figure this out eventually; we always do. ---

I have had the biggest crush on this actress/model since I first had seen the Stepping Out video way back in 1982. I have seen the Cannon printer commercial as well and am almost positive that Marcia, the character in the Cannon comercial is the same, sweet actress playing the hotel maid. She just has such a cute smile and something very sweet about her. I’m glad I found this group! ---

Anyone solve this mystery? A search brought me here. Saw the Canon ad and that has to be her! ---

Off to [Classmates.com](http://Classmates.com), but I’ll need your school name! I read this thread and went to some yearbooks on Classmates, 1971 Rockland County high schools, and hunted for anyone resembling here and/or named Jean, Jeannie, Jeanette etc and did not find anything. Many schools do not have 1971 on Classmates, I checked a few Juniors from 1970, no luck. ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > I spent a considerable amount of time searching online back in 2017 and I found nothing. Too bad we never found out the actual high school. I checked schools in that county and some don’t have yearbooks from that time online. I did not check the many yeshivas and such but they may not be on Classmates. I love detective work and am stumped! ---

> [@Elendil\_s\_Heir](#): > > Glad to see this thread bumped again. Hope someone can nail down the answer for sure! We definitely can if we can just nail down the high school in Rockland County NY from that person that went to school with her, if they are still on this board, I have friends in the area that may be able to check the books. ---

Oh I went that far and beyond. I asked **Pizza1701** in a PM and he told me: North Rockland High School 106 Hammond Rd Thiells, New York 10984 So I’ve been all through their available online records, through Facebook with one or two people I managed to find with the same name still, [Classmates.com](http://Classmates.com), etc. That was a couple of years ago now, tho; it’s possible that more stuff is online today. I didn’t want to invade **Pizza1701** ’s space because he hadn’t shared that publicly even after he told me in a PM, but in the interest of solving this mystery (and the fact that **Pizza1701** disappeared shortly thereafter), I posted it for y’all now. ---

If I’m honest, this thread seems a bit more creepy than the one where people were trying to track down the owner of a wallet. What exactly is the end game of this whole shebang?
