News about Jane Leeves

JAN MOIR: I am trying to get a preview of the new Frasier performance through my fingers in London's shadow. Why? Because I can't bear to look, I can hardly bear to look. Is it going to be terrible?Is it going to be terrific?Is it going to be a pale imitation of the greatness that went before? Thousands of viewers around the world believe that Frasier was possibly the best sitcom ever produced, and I am one of them. Frasier, certainly one of the most popular, well-written, and humourously scripted television shows of all time, from 1993 to 2004. It was set in Seattle and starred a ship of lovable fools played by a pitch-perfect cast, with a loving but fractured family dynamo at its center. Frasier himself, the ostensible psychiatrist and radio host, was played by Kelsey Grammer. Niles (David Hyde Pierce) and their salt-of-the-earth father, Martin Crane, were among the guests. Daphne (Jane Leeves), a man-hungry radio producer Roz (Peri Gilpin), and Frasier's ex-wife Lilith (Bebe Neuwirth) all showed their love on Martin's carer. Everyone was amusing. Eddie Martin's dog was also funny. I still recall classic shows such as The Ski Lodge - 22 minutes of pure, delectable farce - and The Innkeepers, where Frasier and Niles purchase a posh restaurant where they discuss the souffles and flambe the Cherries Jubilee with predictable results.

The actors union in Hollywood voted in favour of a strike if talks about a higher salary break came before the end of June, putting further pressure on major film and television studios still suffering from a month of writers' bangs. SAG-AFTRA said 97.91 percent of ballots cast favoured a strike after voting closed on Monday, according to SAG-AFTRA. Nearly 65,000 people, or around 47% of the total population, voted on the bill. Since almost all studios and producers are engaged in union contracts that only allow them to hire union members, membership in the union is mandatory for all professional actors that work on major US productions.

In an unearthed 2003 clip posted on Twitter this week, Claudia Winkleman appeared almost unrecognizable.
