Jane Krakowski

Life after Ally

Krakowski is no slouch either. During a hiatus from the show she filmed the independent feature Go, which was directed by Swingers helmsman Doug Liman and featured stars such as Scott Wolf, Katie Holmes and Breckin Meyer. She also recorded a Paul Simon tribute album. In addition, she voiced a female sloth in the hugely popular Ice Age and is starring in forthcoming comedy musical Marci X, due out in 2003.

But if Elaine Vassal is the girl who can't say no, Krakowski has no problem nixing offers she isn't truly, madly, deeply in love with. She turned down a job with a big-name star in a big-budget film that she prefers to keep nameless. (Imagine Elaine being discreet about anything!)

'I was sent a lot of scripts for a bunch of roles over the summer, but they seemed to consistently be very similar to Elaine. I didn't really want to do anything like that.'

One thing is for sure however - Ally fans will remember Elaine for a long time to come.
