NEW YORK, NY—Margot Jasmine Reginald, a successful film and television actress best known for her role in Sideboob Beach, received some fantastic news last night on her 40th birthday when her agent called to inform her that she'd booked a commercial for Slendida Probiotic Yogurt Product™.

According to friends who were present at the birthday dinner and overheard the phone call, Reginald's agent went on to say that this marks the first of roughly 8,169 similar jobs she can look forward to at this new and thrilling stage in her acting career.

Reginald reports that the audition process for Slendida was harrowing, and that just moments after arriving she was quickly ushered into a stack of twelve different grey structured blazers and a pair of sensible tan shoes.

"It was quite warm," Reginald recalls. "Like just entirely too warm."

"I still remember my lines," she smiles, before reciting: "I don't know about you, but God knows I'm my own worst critic."

"I'm not sure how that has anything to do with the yogurt product," Reginald adds pensively. "It doesn't, really. But now that we're 40, it's just good to show that we struggle with liking ourselves."

In addition to landing the commercial, Reginald's entire life story will be featured on Slendida's website on a page titled, "WHOA-biotic! Meet the Women Who Have the Guts to Keep Smiling At 40 Thanks To a Healthy Symbiosis of Intestinal Flora."

Fancee Jamieson, Reginald's longtime agent, says that Reginald can look forward to "a rich, vibrant tapestry" of acting jobs moving forward.

"Everything from Slendida Probiotic Yogurt Product ™ to Glowbiotic Probiotic Yogurt Product ™ to Slimbiosis Probiotic Yogurt Product ™," she explains. "God, I'm just so excited to watch Margot inhabit such a truly breathtaking range of roles."
