Patrica Heaton just uncovered a blast from the past—and realized there were a few future stars along for the ride.

The Everybody Loves Raymond actress, 67, took to social media on Friday (Feb. 27) to share a look at one of her earliest gigs—a commercial for Pabst Blue Ribbon that she says aired during the Olympics.

"Hey guys! I cannot wait to show you what I found, my very first gig in New York City, 1983. A Pabst Blue Ribbon beer commercial and it aired during the Olympics," Heaton revealed in the Instagram video.

She continued, "So I made a lot of money off it that I needed but guess what? The other people in the commercial: Jason Alexander, Seinfeld, and Polly Draper, Thirtysomething. And we were all just trying to make a living back in the day in New York City."

In the commercial, Heaton was working as a waitress at a bar while Alexander and Draper were patrons. Heaton even shared a sweet moment with Alexander.

"I was a waitress serving beer. I was moving through the bar with the cameras following me, just serving people — all happy, young people having a good time," Heaton previously told the Television Academy Foundation.

In the years after they wrapped filming on the commercial, Heaton, Alexander and Draper all individually landed their big breakthrough roles. Heaton and Draper even had the chance to work together again when Heaton guest starred on several episodes of Draper's ABC drama, Thirtysomething.

You can watch the entire commercial below.
