Action/Seinfeld tie-in?

Today's syndicated rerun is the one where George's girlfriend won't breakup with him. Soooooooooooooooo, he starts going out with a woman with a real dark suntan in order to make her jealous. Now My question is:Is the actress the same one who plays the exhooker/child star on Fox's "Action?"

I just saw her in Message in a Bottle with Kevin Costner and someone else I can't think of right now. She played a supporting role.

Her name is Illeana Douglas. She's played many supporting roles in movies; the only starring role she's had (that I can think of) was in "Grace Of My Heart". Good actress.

In a previous article, [email] ("The News Guy ") says:

One sad ironic note:the character on "Action" is that of a former child star who turns to hooking when her career goes south. Sad to say there is at least one documented case of this in real life. The actress who played the younger Anderson sister in "Father Knows Best" admits in her autobiography (published by a Christian Publisher) that that is what she did in the early 60s after the show went off the air.

She definately plays on Action, but since I've only seen it twice I can't say for sure if she plays the character you mentioned but it seems that in all likelyhood she does :)

Seth McFarland? If I'm reading your sig file correctley I'd like to ask you if you the gonzo genius that puts out "The family Guy?"

Sorry, but I'm not. Maybe I wish I was? :) I think he may spell his name a little different too..

Yes, it is. Her name is Illeana Douglas and she's starred in movies like Cape Fear and To Die For.
