Sara Ramirez in You've Got Mail

So I was wasting my summer day this morning, watching "You've Got Mail" and my eyes about bugged out of my head when Sara Ramirez popped up on the screen! For those of you who have seen the movie a long time ago but are not totally familiar with it, she plays the cash register attendant in the grocery store in the scene where Meg Ryan is in the cash-only line but doesn't have enough cash to pay (so Tom Hanks sweet-talks Sara Ramirez into using the credit card.) She looks totally different and is speaking with an accent... they obviously put a lot of work into her hair and makeup so that she looks tired and not at all glamorous. Anyway, I just wanted to share. Also, I was curious about other instances where current Broadway stars might have popped up as bit parts in mainstream movies. If you have any examples, feel free to share!

I know it's credited on imdb, but I don't have her personal biography memorized, so when I watched the movie, I was surprised to see it! And I was pretty excited about it too! So I don't really see what you were getting at, CycoSpaz2.

Oh no, I was just clarifying the name of the store she was the cashier at :)

when you say she speaks with an accent, is it a Mexican accent?

:P

Allen Hidalgo plays Chita Riviera in Spielbergs "...To Wong Foo..."

Yeah, she has some sort of accent resembling mexican. She's actually quiet funny just in her expressions. Love that movie!

WELL duh......

and calling Zabar's a grocery store is like calling Nieman Marcus a 7-11
