does gillian anderson have a cameo role in yes man ?

the scene where jim carrey books the airline tickets 3/4 way through - the ticket attendant looks like gillian anderson to me, another person disagrees - here is a wee snap - of course if you disagree with me, i wish you all sorts of terrible things.

IMDB says no. It looks like it's Lisa Long. (credited as Airline Representative)

No, it's not her. And you can't wish anything more horrible on me than being forced to watch the TNT Nic Cage double feature right now.

um, that doesn't look anything like gillian anderson, other than the hair color—wrong eyes, wrong nose, wrong mouth, wrong forehead, wrong chin, wrong age! perhaps it's time to get your eyes checked.

If it's a vote, I vote that it isn't Gillian Anderson. But logic, vision and the IMDB dictate that it isn't Gillian Anderson as well.

Wow, that doesn't look anything like her... unless she's suddenly aged 20 years and dyed her hair.

She looks so unlike Gillian Anderson that I feel like you must be trolling or something. That's how unlike her she looks.

Are you sure you know who Gillian Anderson is?

Maybe you meant Gillian Anderson's mom? That could be her mom.

I'm a bit baffled about how you possibly thought that was gillian anderson. I'm curious to know if you meant someone else because never in a million years could they be mistaken for one another.

No. Not at all. The nose is wrong, the lips are wrong. It's really nothing like her at all.

Wow - I hope you didn't have a friendly bet with someone about that...

No, that's definitely not her. However, Gillian Anderson does have a small role in How To Lose Friends and Alienate People; so here's what she looked like last year (i.e about twenty years younger than the woman in your photo).

Rick Baker would win an Oscar for making Gillian Anderson look like this.
