Wishful Thinking...

I'm not sure she was well known enough to play herself, like those who get cameo roles, or even a 'fictional version' of herself. For years I've thought that CL has his own proteges; He favours them for roles, and MB was probably looking for something. But considering Sheldon's character, in early seasons, they do seem to have forced her in, where Sheldon never wanted to go!
