i feel like there are two types of celebrities that do commercials:

A) the kind that are relevent. commercial work for these celebrities is more for the product's benefit than their own. (e.g. justin timberlake, alec baldwin, zooey deschanel, etc.)

B) the kind that aren't relevent anymore. this type of commercial work is kind of sad because you know they're not being offered real acting work. (i.e. william shatner)

i feel like RLC is verging on being type B. i only recognized her because of her recent tv work with eric mccormick.

fair point about the shat.

but i have to say that the fact that they only gave her about 2 seconds of screen time, no lines, and no in commercial credit doesn't bode well for RLC's reputation as a "highly successful" actor. if you didn't know her, you would never have known that the commercial was a celebrity endorsement of sorts.

Actually in the 90s, American movie and TV stars didn't do commercials at all in America.

RLC has now been doing commercials for about two decades.

The entire market has changed. But as long as she has a show--yeah, on TNT--I would call her a "winner." Like JLH, if all the acting she was doing for Old Navy, that would be sad.

But WTF wears Old Navy?

I think that a lot has to do with her leach of a husband. He practically ruined them financially with his obsession to make an independent film. He used up most of Rachael's money and even borrowed money from her parents. He also ruined his partner financially as well. He finally made his movie, which sucked, by the way. I think that Rachael has had to take whatever work she could get to make some money. I have always really liked her as an actress and she could be an A list actress if she dumped her useless husband. Guess that's not going to happen since she just announced that she is pregnant. Love is really blind in her case.

There a lot of celebrities who aren't credited on commercials. They usually don't flash their names across the bottom unless it's a for a cause like cancer research.

and that's the most pathetic kind of the 2 different kinds of celebrity endorsements.
