Debra Messing

Pretty but also pretty quirky, Debra Messing honed her acting skills on stage before segueing to a small-screen career. Her first screwball sitcom, Ned and Stacey, lasted only two seasons, but her next similarly titled series, Will & Grace ---where she played the straight woman to her gay best friend---ran for eight seasons, and made her a star and fashion plate, while also earning her an Emmy. Messing made her feature film debut in the 1995 romance A Walk in the Clouds  as Keanu Reeves' war bride,… Show more and has since made occasional returns to the big screen. But she's devoted most of her energy to her TV career---which got another lift in 2007 with the Emmy-winning miniseries The Starter Wife ---and to her off-camera life with her screenwriter-actor husband, Daniel Zelman, and their son, Roman. ~ Rovi
