Jane Leeves

Jane Leeves was once the highest paid British actress in America, but she should also receive credit for her work as a producer, model, singer, dancer, and comedian. She was rightfully nominated for an Emmy and Golden Globe Award for her role as Daphne Moon in Frasier. In another famous TV show, Hot in Cleveland, she was given the role of Joy Scroggs. But she made her debut was in The Benny Hill Show with only a small role for the British TV comedy.

In 2012, she displayed her support for the LGBT community when she joined the NOH8 Campaign, posing for one of their ads. In addition to her life in the spotlight, Leeves has spent the past 20 years shuttling between her native Britain and Hollywood. She married CBS Paramount Executive Marshall Coburn and have two children. It seems easy for her to strike a balance between motherhood and career, but she remains humble about her success.
