Jackson Douglas and His Wife

[timk]

The bit of trivia about Alexis Bledel reminded me of something I discovered last week while watching some first-season episodes with my parents.

Remember Drella, the harpist in the early episodes of season 1? Drella was played by Alex Borstein, who is probably better known for her work on Mad TV.

Did you know that Alex Borstein is Jackson Douglas's real-life wife? And did you further know that she was the first choice to play Sookie? How weird would that have been?

whoa! I didn't know that! I thought the character she played "Drella", was very funny. However, I think that our Melissa was the best choice for Sookie!

^I agree that Melissa brought something new to the role...I saw some parts with Alex and it just wasn't the same. And I never knew that she was Jackson's wife!
