Speaking of movie stars, Jennifer Aniston made her film debut as an extra in Mac And Me (1988), an ET rip-off about a handicapped boy who befriends an alien called MAC (short for Mysterious Alien Creature). Ronald McDonald appears (as Himself) during a party scene set in a McDonalds, which is of course little more than a shameless plug for the company. As well as collecting Golden Raspberry Awards for Worst Director and Worst New Star, the film has a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, which calls the picture a thinly-veiled feature length commercial for McDonalds and Coca-Cola.
