Rhea Perlman
Herself
Fans familiar with diminutive American actress Rhea Perlman only through her Emmy-winning characterization of wasp-tongued waitress Carla Tortelli on the TV sitcom Cheers are usually taken aback to discover that Perlman is as shy and soft-spoken as Carla was pushy and abrasive. A working actress since the 1960s, Perlman played Carla from 1983 until Cheers; swan song ten years later. Most of her outside projects during that period, notably the 1984 TV movie The Ratings Game and a 1986 episode of Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories, were done in conjunction with her longtime companion, Danny DeVito, who also played her boyfriend on the late 70s comedy series Taxi. Kindred spirits, Rhea Perlman and Danny DeVito eventually marched down the matrimonial aisle as a loudspeaker played a recording of Carl Alfalfa Switzer singing "I'm in the Mood for Love."moreless -

Stacey Grenrock-Woods
Receptionist
Stacey Grenrock-Woods began writing at a young age and eventually found her niche in the grand tradition of the humorous essay. She cites her acclaimed Junior High piece on the perils of air travel as "the first of its kind and an obvious inspiration to many." Eventually, this young girl's fancy turned to entertainment, and she dedicated most of her adolescence to the pursuit of a lucrative career in the performing arts and tap dancing. However, when her supporting role as "Mindy the Quiet Pre-teen" on the Health Network's misunderstood series, "Crisis Counselor" was virtually overlooked come Emmy season, Stacey decided to turn her back on the glamour, enroll in college and chase her dream of being supported by relatives. She began writing again and soon found herself reporting on the absurd for such magazines as Allure, Black Book, Bikini, and the Utne Reader. Later came failed television pilots and hopelessness until she joined "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" in 1998.
