Out Actress Jane Lynch in Demand...

40288.jpgJane Lynch has been one of those actresses who looks really familiar but you can't quite place her. She has nearly 100 guest appearances on televison series ranging from "Friends" to "Desperate Housewives" to "Felicity." But in the past year or so, this 46 year old actress has been one of the busiest performers around: Tonight, she made another appearance on ABC's "Boston Legal" as sex therapist Joanna Monroe, is a regular of Lifetime's "Lovespring International" and has been signed for a role in an untitled CBS sitcom to be directed by Ben Stiller starring his wife Christine Taylor. She also has had a recurring role on the Showtime series "The L Word."

Jane is just as busy in feature films, big box office hits, including her role as Will Ferrell's mother in "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" and as Steve Carell's sexually hungry boss in last year's smash comedy "40 Year Old Virgin." She has a role in the upcoming Christopher Guest comedy "For Your Consideration" and a handful of movies either in the can or in pre-production!

As a tribute to this talented and very busy actress, I am adding Jane Lynch to the "Out In Hollywood" gallery of out heroes. Check out our gallery so far and feel free to suggest any high-profile people you feel deserved to be added.

Check out the deleted scenes on the "40-Year-Old Virgin" DVD for Jane Lynch's great improv skills. And she was probably the only good part of "A Mighty Wind."
