We have no confirmation on DeVito, but we know for a fact that Mira Sorvino appears out of focus at Jackie's arraignment hearing. Sorvino, at the time, was dating Tarantino and happened to be on set that day.

But she technically is credited in the "special thanks" credits as "Bert D'Angelo's Daugther."

In the 70s, MIra's father Paul was on a short-lived detective show known as Bert D'Angelo/Superstar. Confusing title aside, it was Tarantino's nerd-centric way of thanking Paul Sorvino for making Mira and allowing her to date a strange man with a foot fetish. Which, according to our files, is indeed still kind of creepy.
