Hey, you know those "before they were famous" shows? I love them! I especially love them when I find out that someone unexpected was on a show/commercial/soap opera that I watched at the time. This time, this time I have one up on those shows because while re-watching season 5 of Buffy, I spied someone familiar in one of my favorite episodes--"Family."

In this episode Tara's family comes to retrieve her on her 20th birthday (spoiler alert!) because this is the age when all the women in her family turn into "demons." On this viewing when the camera panned to Cousin Beth, I recognized the actress playing it. Could it be? Was it really Amy Adams (Junebug, Talledega Nights, The Office) woodenly playing the poor girl cousin stuck at home with the domineering men of the McClay clan?



Yup.

Nice! That's even better than seeing "The O.C."'s Adam Brody as one of Eli's friends on old episodes of "Once and Again." Since you don't watch either of those shows, you will have to imagine *my* delight at the sighting.

Isn't that the best. She has been touched by {cue choir} Joss Whedon!!! Le sigh.

Whilst watching Roseanne on Nick at Nite some time ago (this was before TiVo, and I was desperate), I almost fell over dead when a very young George Clooney walked on the set. He was hot then too, even on Roseanne, but he does age very, very well.
