Trivia

  • She mentioned that when she joined The Drew Carey Show (1995), the cast of the show embraced her, especially Mr Carey. He sends flowers every week.
  • When a teenager, she was diagnosed with immune thrombocytopenia, an autoimmune disease of the blood. She required a splenectomy and two years of chemotherapy. It appears to be in remission today.
  • Throughout the latter part of season two of Titus (2000) she was pregnant with twins, her character Erin was not meant to be pregnant, so the fact was often disguised by having her standing behind objects, holding things in front of her (flowers, pillows, wedding dresses in garment bags, etc.), being filmed from above the waist, wearing dark clothes, as well as a plot line that involved her character being in a wheelchair.
  • Twins, Emma Rose Marie and Sadie Anna Marie Gilliland, were born July 14, 2001 in L.A.
  • Her ex-husband, Curt, whom she married in 1996 is a Los Angeles restaurateur.

Quotes

  • It's always fun to make people laugh, and then make them afraid or cry at the same time.
  • I love playing characters that have secrets.
