Jane Leeves and Isabella Kathryn Coben
About the event
Over the course of more than a decade, Jane Leeves, a former ballerina from humble beginnings in England, saw her life turn on its head when she was cast as the eccentric character, Daphne Moon, on beloved sitcom Frasier, a show that would make her career. Now in her new memoir, Daphne & Me, she recounts the most monumental years of her life, sharing the hilarious and moving stories she’s collected over the years, and revisiting remarkable moments behind the scenes of the iconic show we all know and love.
As the character Daphne Moon — a live-in physical therapist hired to take care of Frasier Crane’s father — Leeves acted as a perfect, down-to-earth foil to pompous Frasier and his equally pretentious brother, Niles. As Daphne and Niles were falling head-over-heels for each other in one of television’s great romances, Jane was finding her own true love on the Paramount lot and eventually having children, one of whom calls David Hyde Pierce “godfather.” Eleven seasons and a record-breaking thirty-seven Emmys later, Leeves and the cast and crew of Frasier made television history in making one of the most beloved and influential sitcoms of all time.
