There is one thing I don't like about her acting. That double take expression she does.

I also have no idea what the guy means with "that double take expression". I loved JLD as Elaine.

Somebody will say something surprising/shocking/provocative to her and she initially presents no distinctive reaction. Then a few moments later it sinks in and she kind of jerks her head, blinks, widens her eyes and opens her mouth. Every time she does that it breaks the spell for me. Apart from that she's a terrific comic actress.

Maybe that's Elaine's way of reacting, not JLD's way of acting.

I can't remember this. Can you give me an example from an episode?

She sure is AND she's very good looking.

Yes indeed! I didn't think much of her until she changed her hair style and lost that buildup on her forehead whatever that's called. And then I saw her in another movie. That woman is beautiful! David (not H) :) (actually though, my last name DOES begin with H too...shades of either Twilight Zone or the Bizzaro World). ;0.
