Who She Played: The check-in girl that Peter Parker dealt with when he signed up for the wrestling match.

Why You Forgot: Nearly a decade before she won widespread acclaim - including an Academy Award - for her role in The Help, Spider-Man served as just one of many bit parts Spencer had been playing.
