Mystery Solved
About 3 years ago I saw an actress on the subway, the 1, 2, or 3 train. I could not remember her name or anything she worked in or any one she worked with so I made a mental note and waited.
The other day I flipped through the channels and saw her in a movie called Because I Said So with Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore. Quickly I went to IMDB and found out her name.
Mary Pat Gleason
She's been in over 100 credited works and had a one-woman show, details here.
It only took three years but finally I can put that section of my brain to rest.
