Ethel Merman as Lt. Hurwitz, and Barbara Billingsley as the jive lady, in Airplane. Two great surprises.

Michelle Pfeiffer in an episode of her husband, David Kelley's Picket Fences. She played one of many victims of the serial masseur molester who had been found murdered in a freezer. Hers was one in a brief montage of victims.
Apparently, her husband didn't know she had filmed the quick sequence and it was an inside joke. There was no billing.

Ellen Burstyns 15-second cameo in MRS. HARRIS, only because it inexplicably garnered her a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in a Miniseries/TV Movie at the 2006 Emmys.
I remember the controversy surrounding that.
When Kelly Macdonald won for THE GIRL IN THE CAFÉ, Burstyn's film clip was almost her entire performance. 😂

R23 Ellen Burstyn was asked about that. She claimed the producers submitted her and she hadn't even known about it. She then said something to the effect of (I'm paraphrasing), "For my next nomination, I want it to be for something I don't appear in at all!"
