May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

In the mid-'90s, acting hopeful Krista Allen moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dreams. According to her 2022 Q&A with Soap Opera Digest, she'd been there for less than six months when she nabbed a role in 1997's "Liar Liar," starring Jim Carrey. Though it was a small part, credited only as Lady in Elevator, she definitely got the attention of audiences.

In her scene, where she literally plays a lady in an elevator, Carrey's character, Fletcher, joins her, having just woken up under a truth spell his son wished upon him. He notes that she's new to the building, and she smiles and tells him how nice everyone has been. Fletcher's eyes hone in on her cleavage and replies, "Well, that's because you have big jugs. I mean, your boobs are huge." Of course, this continues until "lady" lets him have it with some sort of punch or slap off camera.

Not only did Allen's memorable part make the trailer for the film, which she was ecstatic about as she shared in a 2018 Twitter post, but she also appeared in the blooper reel, laughing over Carrey's cut one-liners. "Everything was happening so fast for me at that time," she told Soap Opera Digest, noting that she landed an engagement, "Liar, Liar," and "Days of Our Lives" all in a short amount of time. "... So it was a huge, huge thing for me, but huge in like an, 'Oh, my God, I'm an adult,' you know?"
