    Jaime Pressly is a talented actress, and a beautiful person. hide show

    I think 'My Name is Earl' is one of the best shows on Telivision, but 'Earl' would be nothing without it's wonderful cast. Jaime is in that cast, and she is one of the best parts of the show. She plays the main character's ex-girlfriend, and she plays the part just right. She's a great actress, even though I've heard some people say she was horrible.

    She has a great Southern accent, and she delivers her lines wonderfully. I also saw she's going to be in the new Dead or Alive movie, and I think she'll be perfect for the part.
