Fans of "The Office" would recognize Melora Hardin in a heartbeat as Jan, Michael's boss. "Monk" fans think of her as Trudy #2. And if you're addicted to "Gilmore Girls," the just completed season had Melora playing what we all hope will be a regular role on the series. Bet you didn't know she was an amazing singer though, did you?

Dressed in a red dress and pulling from a bag of props with accessories to fit each song (like a raincoat and rain hat that made her look as if she'd stepped out of Humphrey Bogart movie), torch singer Melora Hardin drenched us in a series of playful and sensual numbers that left the audience wrapped around her little finger.

I met her briefly after the show when she signed CDs for her newly converted throng of fans and she is even more charming up close.

Here's lookin' at you, kid.
