8 Feb
Summary
- LaNasa hadn't seen Seinfeld or Melrose Place when filming.
- She was a single mom focused on her son's needs then.
- Now married to Melrose Place star Grant Show.

In a recent interview, actress Katherine LaNasa shared a surprising detail about her early career: she had never seen the iconic sitcom Seinfeld nor the popular drama Melrose Place when she filmed her guest role in a memorable season 6 Seinfeld episode. Titled 'The Beard,' the episode featured LaNasa as a NYPD sergeant who administered a lie detector test to Jerry Seinfeld.
LaNasa, who was a single mother at the time and focused on raising her young son, explained her lack of TV viewing. She noted that her then-husband, Dennis Hopper, and she did not watch Melrose Place. Despite this unfamiliarity, she found the Seinfeld set to be a magical place filled with incredibly talented actors like Jason Alexander, whose improvisational skills she recalled vividly.
