Melora Hardin
Top Management
WHY HER As disgraced paper exec Jan Levinson — who not only loved and lost Steve Carell's Michael Scott on The Office but got a boob job to win him back — she makes us feel better about our own love lives.
RAISING THE BRA When Hardin was fitted with fake breasts for the season finale, it made for a surreal day on the set. ''All day, people are looking at and talking about your chest. It's not even your chest, but it's somewhat your chest, because part of your chest is in there.''
LATE BLOOMER Although Hardin started on TV at age 6 (guesting on Diff'rent Strokes and The Love Boat), she had filmed 13 fruitless pilots before The Office. ''It wasn't until we won the Emmy that people had to pinch me less hard than they usually did.''
NEXT October's sports comedy The Comebacks, and her directorial debut, the love story You.
