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. ---

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…😉 ---

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. ---

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. IDBB ---

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.
