Wow, I just saw a few minutes of a terrible Lifetime movie (redundant, I know) starring Jenna Elfman. I never watched Dharma and Greg, but I did like Elfman in Ed Norton’s 2000 film Keeping the Faith. That was a while ago now, and I haven’t thought a whit about Elfman in the interim. So when I saw her prowl campily across my small screen just now, it hit me like a freight train: what we have here is the downwardly mobile, blond Lauren Graham. They’re eerily alike in manner and stature. If it weren’t so obvious who’s on an upswing and who’s, well, on Lifetime, they’d make a perfect pairing for Fametracker’s Two Stars, One Slot feature: battle of the leggy, wisecracking Amazon women.
