Geico "Caveman" commercial...is that Talia Shire?

As the therapist in one of the latest of Geico's "So easy a caveman can do it" commercials...

I had to take a double take, but pretty positive this is her.

So you mean she wouldn't do the last and arguably 2nd best "Rocky" movie, but would do a TV commercial with another neanderthal??

I thought she was excited to do Rocky Balboa but Stallone felt it best to kill Adrian off instead?

Yep. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talia_Shire

In 2006, Shire appears in a commercial for Geico, an auto insurance firm. She plays a therapist who is treating a caveman with issues about Geico's "So easy, even a caveman can do it!" advertisements.
And on Rocky, I think it wasn't that she didn't want to do it, it was that she was written out for storyline purposes.

Yes, that is indeed Talia Shire.

However, your comment is not valid. The following will be put in spoiler code, as many, I'm sure, have not seen Rocky Balboa:

Spoiler:
She is not the reason as to why Adrian is absent from the final Rocky movie. Stallone has commented before that he wrote at least one draft of Balboa with her character present, but realized that the film held more emotional weight sans the former Ms. Pennino.


EDIT: Others, it would appear, can type a bit fast than I.
