Yes. Jamie Lee Curtis starred as a waitress in this 1977 Columbo episode (S6 E3). It was a very small role (only on for about 2 minutes). I remember watching it one day and had to pause it to make sure it was her. It was funny as her character was annoyed with Columbo from what I remember.

She played a waitress. Columbo brought a donut bought elsewhere to her restaurant table to eat. She sternly scolded him and forced him to give the donut to her and took it away. Columbo was shocked and then sheepish. Rumor is tha Universal boss Lew Wasserman, a friend of Jamie Lee's divorced parents Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, helped Jamie Lee get this and other small parts at Universal, including one in a TV series called Operation Petticoat, based on a movie that starred Cary Grant and...Tony Curtis...
