Episode 121: Jane Leeves and Isabella Kathryn Coben
“This was a tough ask of me, to write a book,” offers the Emmy-nominated actress Jane Leeves, as she celebrates the publication of her memoir Daphne & Me: My Life on "Frasier" (and a Bit More). “I’m a very, very private person, and I wasn’t on board with it at first. They offered me a ghostwriter, and I thought, ‘I’ll never be able to open up to a stranger.’ So my husband said, ‘Well, what about our daughter? She’s a fabulous writer.’ And that sort of intrigued me.” Intriguing, yes. A little out-of-the-ordinary, certainly. And yet working in collaboration with her daughter, Isabella Kathryn Coben, Jane has written a warm, witty, and winning account of her time on the long-running NBC sitcom “Frasier”—a memoir that stands as a love letter to one of the most celebrated shows in television history, with a record-breaking 37 Emmy nominations over its 11 seasons. Daphne & Me tells the story of the show’s development, spun from the backstory of one of the supporting characters on the also long-running NBC sitcom “Cheers,” and gifts the author with an opportunity to look back on a career that started from humble beginnings, as an aspiring ballerina who landed her first meaningful gig as a regular on “The Benny Hill Show.” Another gift: in crafting her story alongside Isabella, Jane has managed to tap a wellspring of memories that are enriched by the moments mother and daughter have already shared—a collaboration that now stands as its own kind of love letter, as the co-authors reflect on a family history that has been indelibly stamped by Jane’s time on the show. Oh, and by the way, this episode of As Told To is itself an out-of-the-ordinary collaboration, as podcast host Daniel Paisner is joined by producer Daniel Ford, host of his own Writer's Bone podcast on the Writer’s Bone Podcast Network, for a joint interview with co-authors Jane and Isabella, to be featured on both podcast platforms.
