    Very talented actress with a wide range and a pretty nice singing voice as well. hide show

    I've been a fan of Melora Hardin since I first saw her in 'Cover Me: Based on the True Life of an FBI Family' back in 2000. I've since seen her in the movie 'Seven Girlfriends' with Tim Daly, the 'Monk' television series, where she plays the lead character's long-deceased wife, and now I get to see her frequently on 'The Office' with Steve Carrell. Melora manages to have great onscreen chemistry with all of her co-stars, male or female, young or old, which is no mean feat! In 'Seven Girlfriends', her acting as well as singing talent is showcased. It turns out Melora has a very nice voice—as does Tim Daly, which came as a big surprise. I always look forward to opportunities to watch Melora onscreen.
