A relative of mine coming from overseas had a similar issue once. She does not believe in credit cards, so she had another relative pay her ticket. Luckily she was able to get him on the phone to confirm. That was about ten years ago BTW.
There is no reason to believe this wasn't mentioned in the terms when the actress or her assistant or her travel agent booked the ticket.
But the experienced travelers on Flyertalk should know better, regardless.
