ID this actress (Even though I could easily Google her) pls...

This lady’s name eludes me at the moment. I could easily figure out this lady’s name on Google. But I’m going to ask here because I am curious how quickly y’all can get it with my vague description.

So… If you feel inclined to indulge my curiosity…:slight_smile:
She’s a middle aged lady. Used to be quite the looker. And she talks like she’s got a helium tank stuck in her throat (A lot of guys find it sexy).

Victoria Jackson?

Ah, that’s actually a very good guess. But not the one I was thinking of.

Jennifer Tilly.

Ha! That’s it! Thanks for indulging me guys.

I’d’a guessed Jean Kasem.

Kathleen Turner?

The tank is actually literally stuck in her throat, which is why her voice is so husky.

Used to be?

The first name that popped into my head was Kimmy Robertson, then I figured, yeah, must be Jennifer Tilly.

Yoga scene-Big Chill.

That’s her sister, Meg.

Well, she is “middle aged” you know. They can’t be lookers anymore. :cool:

I immediately thought of Jennifer Tilly. Whoo

Actually, my first thought was Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and successful businesswoman Kathy Ireland, who turned to business after acting performances like this one.

No, my point was that she’s still pretty good looking.

Well, FTR: I wouldn’t kick her out of bed for eating crackers.

I thought the reference to helium implied a high pitched voice and by middle aged I was thinking older than Tilly. My guess was going to be the short woman from Will and Grace who was also the ex wife (and I believe real life wife) of Ron in Parks and Recreation. In the spirit of the OP I cannot be bothered to Google her name. Megan something?

Megan Mullaly. That’s a character voice for her. Her normal voice is more…normal.

And kunilou, I met Kathy Ireland. She was a customer at the bookstore where I worked, 35 years ago or so. She was not an SI model yet. She was the first person I’d seen whose physical presence was so pristinely beautiful, she seemed like a different species. Part gazelle or something - she radiated in place. Weird. She walked up to me and squeaked “Do you have any coffee table books with photos of Jackson Hole, Wyoming?” (one remembers stuff like this). Her voice was so disconcerting - jarringly kiddie-like, even while it reinforced her other-worldliness. Weirder. I walked her to the right shelf and I can’t recall if she found one.

That’s Megan Mullally. She’s a lot less squeaky in real life.

Interestingly, Megan Mullally has said that she was to voice a character in Disney’s Finding Nemo, but was fired because she wouldn’t use the “Karen” voice.
