Was just sitting watching VH1 Classic and the Cars "Hello Again" was playing. Probably have seen the video numerous times but it didn't register until now that Gina Gershon was in it. Any other vids out there that you like with non musical celebrities that made a cameo or were in them before they gained their celebrity?

A young Nicole Kidman is in Pat Wilson's "Bop Girl" video.

Courtney Cox in Springsteen's Dancing in the Dark, of course.
Jen Lopez as a dancer in Janet's That's the Way Love Goes vid.

Wasn't Andy Warhol in it also?

Yes he was, I read where he either directed or codirected the video.

not sure if this qualifies, but John Sex was in it as well (not sure if he is a nonmusical celebrity, or even a celebrity[:D])

He's also in "Misfit" by Curiosity Killed The Cat.

A young Naomi Campbell in the "I'll Tumble 4 Ya"? video; she was also in one for Bob Marley when she was 7.

And before Paula Abdul's music career started, she was in the video for "Till The End" by Toto in 1986 and Janet Jackson's "What Have You Done For Me Lately?" video.

Slightly off topic, but there's also music stars who appeared in videos before becoming stars themselves, such as Bruce Hornsby, who is the keyboard player in Sheena Easton's "Strut" video (he even lip-syncs a few lines to the camera), a very big-haired Sheryl Crow in Michael Jackson's "Another Part Of Me" clip, and Thomas Dolby in that one Lene Lovich video.

Lance Henriksen, Paul Reiser, Jenette Goldstein, Judge Reinhold, and Adrian Pasdar in Martini Ranch's "Reach"...and of course Bill Paxton. Oh, and directed by James Cameron. Sheesh, quite a cast for such a tiny band.

Oh, and PJ Soles from "Rock n Roll High School".

Kelly Preston is in the Maroon 5 video. Jennifer Love Hewitt and Anna Kournikova are in the Enrique Iglesias videos. And speaking of the Cars, I think that's Paulina in one or two of those videos. I would love to see Kate Beckinsale in a music video.

Who can forget Milton Berle in Ratt's "Round and Round" video?
