In the Sean Connery film 'The Anderson Tapes' she is one of two sisters whose luxury flat is one of many to be burgled by Anderson(Connery) and his gang. She is the more sensible one of the two sisters whilst her younger sibling is excited "Oh good, it's a robbery!"

She, Margaret Hamilton was her name, was also the Maxwell House coffee lady for many years, and her last performance was likely doing a Maxwell House ad.

(And has anyone else noticed that as she has reached adulthood, Mayim Bialik looks more like Margaret Hamilton than she does Bette Midler?)
