Jane Leeves Biography

jane leeves
  • Birth Place: Ilford, Essex, England
  • Date of Birth / Zodiac Sign: 04/18/1961, Aries
  • Profession: Actor
This handsome British comic actress initially studied ballet until an injury forced her to change careers. In the mid-'80s the leggy Leeves did a stint in her homeland as a babe on The Benny Hill Show. But it was on American sitcoms that she came to prominence. A recurring role opposite her then real-life boyfriend Grant Shaud on Murphy Brown raised her profile, as did a stint as a nubile virgin on Seinfeld. Then Leeves made her name and earned an Emmy nod as a delightfully loopy home attendant on 11 seasons of Frasier.
