What artists mystify you with their lack of super-stardom?

So this morning, Mrs. Rhymer is surfing and I am eating a bagel when I hear a delighted chirp come from her general vicinity. When I ask her what’s up, she tells me that she’s just come across a clip from the Jude Law Alfie remake which has a lovely, lovely shot of http://www.sexydesktop.co.uk/code/cool.cgi?celebid=krak17;celebname=Jane%20Krakowski;logid=mh;size=13;babe=1;mature=0 legs. This is notable, you see, because Ms. K. is the one person who is on both our lists of persons we’re allowed to sleep with without repercussions.

But this isn’t about Jane Krakowski’s hotness, though I could write volumes about that. It’s about her relative lack of superstardom. What kind of world do we live in that Julia Roberts makes mega-millions while Jane–both more talented by every metric, and hotter to boot–does not?

But that’s just my opinion. What artists do the rest of you think have been robbed by fate?

Sarah Fimm should be on top of the musical world, as should Morgan Grace Kibby of The Romanovs and Amanda Ghost.

If we’re not limiting to actors, Patty Griffin is my far and away #1. I’m not mystified as to why she’s not super-famous, her songs are - what’s the word - depressing. Though that didn’t stop, say, Fiona Apple.

Anyway I don’t feel too bad she’s not an adult contemporary superstar. I’d feel mortified hearing one of my favorite singer/songwriters on “Majic 95.5”.

Jane K. has a really odd-looking nose. That knocks her off my list, though besides that, ba-DOW what a body.

I second Jane K. The hottest member of Allie McBeal by a mile.
