There's currently a commercial for the Aldi supermarket chain in which
a woman sits in a chair while her husband, standing behind her,
accidentally destroys a display of nutcrackers. I think the woman is
played by Patty McCormack, who was the kid in The Bad Seed movie and
the '50s TV series Peck's Bad Girl (which I vaguely remember). As an
adult, she was in The Ropers.

Anyway, I took a look online, but I didn't get anywhere. Does anybody
know?

We don't have the Aldi chain here in Canada and I've never seen one in
the US either, although I certainly haven't spent a great amount of time
there and could easily have missed them. If they don't operate here,
they are unlikely to advertise here (in Canada or the US).

Perhaps if you could link to the actual commercial, we could better
answer your question. YouTube seems to have lots of Aldi commercials but
there may be other sites that have them, too.

This is probably the commercial:

I don't think it's her, but Patty's most recent credit should be of
interest to Ian:

I don't know who the woman is but when I first saw that commercial the man
behind her I thought was William Shatner.

Thanks very much for that. Patty McCormack, in that picture, doesn't
look much like the woman in the Aldi commercial.

Yes, she was and yes, she is. She's 71 now and still working steadily.
