She played a hysterical passenger in the 1980 film Airplane!, reprising the role in the 1982 sequel. She herself came up with the idea to improve upon the scene by having various people use violence to calm down her character.

Directors Abrahams, Zucker and Zucker cast her without realizing Bryant was the original actress from the commercials.
