Jane Lynch

The cougar who would devour Steve Carell

“Andy, have you ever heard of the term ‘fuck buddy?’” That, plus her Guatemalan love serenade to Steve Carell, had to be one of the highpoints of The 40-Year-Old Virgin. But Jane Lynch, who’ll appear live on stage for a Q&A at the Seattle Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, is a sneaky comic veteran. Recall how she stealthily converted super-femme dog owner Jennifer Coolidge to the other team in Best in Show, then together launched a new magazine, American Bitch, to focus on lesbian purebred dog owners. And she’s all over television in shows like The L Word, Desperate Housewives, and Two and a Half Men. Lynch will be interviewed first, then take your questions about how she ad-libs her way from life to art.
