in JOAN OF ARCADIA? I’ve thought for the past two seasons she was (Heidi) Hudson Leick (Xena’s Callisto). She’s not. So, who the heck is she & doesn’t she look just like her?!?!

It’s on the list here. You didn’t mention the character’s name so this is the best I can do.

Her name is Elaine Hendrix. I never watched Xena, so I have no idea if she looks like that person or not. I knew her from the remake of The Parent Trap, which is one of my 9 year old daughter’s favorite movies. She played the evil almost-step-mom part.
She is one busy babe. She played Marilyn Munster! (Yay, she was in an episode of Brisco County, Jr.!)
And, apparently, school marm is not the type of role she usually does.
And I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one who thinks she is seriously hot as a physics teacher. (Mine was Mr. Swango - bleh.)
OK, I do remember her from THE PARENT TRAP remake.
She does have a diabolical but hot look! Whew!
I missed the Munsters movie she was in- last one I saw had Edward Herriman as a GREAT Herman, Robert (THE LOVED ONE) Morse as Grampa, I think Lee Meriwether as Lily & Ben Stiller’s wife/the movie Marcia Brady as Marilyn.
(A lot better than the John Schuck abomination that ran a couple of seasons on TV.)
Elaine Hendrix was also the evil weathergirl from Miami in “Mr. St. Nick,” a really fun Christmas made-for-tv movie. She plays bad grrrrl very nicely.
Elaine was the only good thing about the nineties ‘get smart’ sequel-show, as Andy Dick’s sexy partner agent.
Probably a good thing, though, that they cancelled that one in time for Andy to take the role of Matthew in ‘Newsradio’ 
There was a Get Smart sequel show? WHY DOES NO ONE TELL ME ABOUT THESE THINGS!?
Well I didn’t know you during that month and a half in the winter of '95
And really – it was pretty bad.
