'Who are you calling Cootie Queen, you lint licker?!'

I'm going to show how low-class I truly am with this post, but... You know how TV commercials sometimes stick in your mind, and you want to know more about them, and it's not like you can look them up on imdb.com or anything.

This is the commercial I was obsessed with:
http://www.splendad.com/ads/show/863-Orbit-Euphemisms
That actress who plays the gum-chewing mistress is so hilarious that I wanted to know who it was. Fortunately, thanks to Google, with a little patience you can find out just about anything. Her name is Jesse Meriwether, and she is from New Orleans.

I also found another commercial she was in, unfortunately without dialogue from her: http://www.boardsmag.com/screeningroom/commercials/1753/

Is the woman in the Superbowl Bridgestone Ad also Jesse?

It sure looks like her.

She is not from New Orleans. She's a friend of mine. She was raised in Gulfport, MS... but moved to N.O. and then Burbank, California.

And yes, that is her in the Bridgestone Ad as well.

Here's her myspace: http://www.myspace.com/Jessecopano

Have a great day! =)

Don't go stalkin' her but I was in her high school drama class at Gulfport High School. She is a fantastic actress. She was the best Helga Tendorp EVER. You think she is pretty? You should see her mom. They are both knockouts!
