I asked this question almost a \*decade ago. Anyone know his/her id, the person who sings a line or two with him?

\*Well, sorta. I actually asked if it was a man or woman.

I’m assuming that this is the video:

[![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/9TlBTPITo1I/maxresdefault.jpg "Tom Petty - You Don't Know How It Feels [Official Music Video]") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TlBTPITo1I)

And, that you’re referring to the tall brunette who lip-syncs for a bit around the 3:00 mark.

No idea. Though, I can see where the man/woman question comes from; the face is kind of masculine, though the bod certainly isn’t. 😉
