Has it ever happened that an extra in a film becomes as famous as a movie celebrity?

Free easter eggs for the person that recognizes this lady:

What’s that? You have to get your glasses? Can’t quite make her out?

This should do it:

Yep. Just shoot me your home address or P.O. box if you guessed Renee Zellweger and I’ll have chocolate eggs mailed out to you. She got her start as the “girl in the blue pickup truck” in the film Dazed and Confused which also brought the world Matthew McConaughey. She wasn’t necessarily being the greatest of “influences,” as she was funneling beer with other girls.

I’m just messing, she did do that, but Renee knows I think she’s world class. Just goes to show you that you can start out in the mail room, as an extra, and make it all the way up to the corporate office, oh, and what a view that office has!

What a stellar career for the “You had me at hello” actress that would one day become a Best Supporting and Best Actress Academy Award winner.
