I Know Who This Actress Is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There is this TV commercial, currently being aired, that starts with two small kids selling lemonade. A woman comes along to buy a cup, and the mother buts in, pouring the entire pitcher into a cup big enough to hold the entire contents. The customer has got her lemonade, but, boy, she is a little puzzled as to how she is going to drink so much. Even I, whose diabetes makes me thirsty, would have found this a challenge.
The woman walks away, and the commercial switches to Mom and kids going into the house, to watch a Sunday football game. Which I could care less about.
My interest is in the first half. From the time this ad was aired, I kept looking at this actress in recognition, as having known her--not personally--from somewhere else. Last night, I finally figured it out.
This is Gloria Garayua, who played Vita Chacon, back in 2007, on that most heartbreaking of "Cold Case" episodes, "A Dollar, A Dream."
Gloria has enormous credentials, but the impact she and everyone in that episode made on me was indelible. To know more about it, look for it on this blog. I have written about the episode extensively.
Nice to see you again, Gloria! Looking good! Loved you as Vita, but would love to see more of your work!
Go, Gloria, go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
