Hehe i know what you mean. I have a feeling she was hired to be a straight actress, for the same reasons Jason Alexander was cast too, to give the show some professionalism. But she really did show herself to be more than that, didnt she? She wasn't afraid to look unattractive and so she was quite the physical comedian at times.
Do you remember the "Can women be funny?" thread? I said there that to claim that women aren't or can't be funny was ridiculous but that there are very, very few famous women who I actually do find to be genuinely very funny but JLD in Seinfeld is one of them.
