Fans discuss actress Molly Hagan's appearance in The Conversion episode, comparing her looks and recalling her previous TV and film roles.

Best of the morning after

Has anyone considered the possibility that Kramer is the illegitamate son of Klinger from MASH fame?

Wow, even an "Elaine" can't figure out Elaine...

What the hell won't Meatloaf do for love?

It's a type of fruity porridge made from dingle-berries.

Molly Hagan (the Latvian Nun) is in my opinion incredibly sexy, although I'm a little sickened by the idea (no thanks to whoever posted this) that she looks like Sally Field (ick!).

Seems every single replier to this thread can't remember the actress' name.
