The woman in the commercial, the only other actor, is Frances Lopate. If she looks familiar, you might have seen her in a Levy's Jewish Rye Bread poster that appeared in the New York City subway and elsewhere.

Thanks for pointing out my oversight. I updated the post. Fascinating that she was one of the people featured on those almost iconic posters.

And directed by Howard Zieff, who also did Slither, Private Benjamin, and ... uh ... the My Girl movies.

Allow me to correct the previous post...Comic writer/performer Ronnie Graham ALSO appears in the commercial, as the perturbed Clapboard Holder.
