Missing well known actress in IMDB's cast list of movie "Public enemies" 2009 by Michael Mann

Sigourney Weaver can be seen from 1:44:19-28 & 1:45:27-33

On 1:45:26 she is asked "Miss Roberts, can you reach Agent Purvis?" which, according to someone in IMDB’s GOOFS section declares that the name "Miss Roberts" is wrong… WITHOUT TELLING WHAT THAT NAME SHOULD BE!!! What's the use of telling a mistake if you don't even give the answer?!?? Furthermore the name Sigourney Weaver is mentioned nowhere in the CAST LIST.

Guess that's enough trouble for today isn't it?

My question: 

Who can tell me what role Sigourney Weaver plays and, if not Ms Roberts, what her name should be; as well as, optionally, how can such an important actresses be forgotten to be mentioned in IMDB’s Cast List which is incredibly long and full of totally unknown actors?

After the FBI Agents arrest and interrogate Billie, Agent Reinecke asks the secretary where Agent Purvis is, and refers to the secretary as Miss Roberts; after they return from searching the false apartment, Agent Purvis stops Agent Reinecke from beating Billie anymore and after Agent Purvis carries Billie out into the hall he refers to the secretary as Miss Rogers.

This means the character name used is inconsistent (Roberts/Rogers).

The cast list tells us that Rebecca Spence plays Doris Rogers. Her page also has a picture of her in the film:
