Jane Leeves Adds a Memoir to the Frasier Shelf
· New York time
Jane Leeves, known for playing Daphne Moon on Frasier, is discussing her career and new memoir, Daphne & Me: My Life on Frasier (And a Bit More). Her CBS Mornings appearance also covers Kelsey Grammer and her experience on the sitcom. A television memoir offers a different product from a rerun: an actor's account of work that audiences know through finished episodes. The attraction is the distance between a familiar character and the person who played her. The subtitle's promise of a bit more is nicely calibrated for an era when almost every cultural product wants to be a universe. Sometimes a long career can become a book without first becoming a twelve-part viewing obligation.
