Big Love
Wednesday 18 October 2006 on NBC
John and Jeffrey fall for the same woman. However, and to their astonishment, she decides that she wants to date them both.
Jane and the cast of Frasier won the SAG Award for Best Ensemble in a Comedy Series in 2000. They were nominated a total of ten times, from 1995-2004.
(edit)
Jane's measurements are 32-22-33.
(edit)
Jane was nominated for a Golden Globe award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Series, Miniseries, or Motion Picture Made for Television during the year 1995.
(edit)
On the show Frasier, Jane's character had gained weight and after her child was born, it was written into the show that Daphne lost a total of 9 pounds and 12 ounces. This was the weight of Jane's daughter, Isabella, when she was born.
(edit)
By the end of Frasier, Jane had an Emmy Award nomination for her role as Daphne Moon, and she had also become the highest-paid British/English actress in all of Hollywood.
(edit)
Jane Leeves: I'm the highest paid English actress ever, apparently.
(edit)
Jane Leeves: They go “Daphne, we love her, she’s so sweet.” She’s a great calling card because she’s such a nice person and so likable that people relate to her and immediately embrace me.
(edit)
Jane Leeves: I read for them one day, then Kelsey Grammer walked in and read with me the next day, and they said, 'Could you go outside for a second?' I went outside and then they opened the door and said, 'ladies and gentlemen, Daphne Moon.'
(edit)
Jane Leeves: (talking about how she knows everything about her character, Daphne Moon) It’s true. I have quite an extensive background of her. In 1982 she was at beauty school. It hasn’t been talked about in the scripts, but I know she tried her hand at many things. For Daphne, its always been about talking care of people and helping them feel better. She has 8 brothers and comes from a working class background. The little house she grew up in was just like the one in My Left Foot, with four in a bed. She had to contribute to the running of the household by bringing home what she made and giving a bit for Mum.
(edit)
Jane Leeves: It was a very small town in the middle of the country side. Everybody knew each other, you felt safe there, you didn’t have to lock doors.
