More about Ms. Hardin...

Melora Hardin rocketed into our lives big time in 1997 when she played the dream role of a vintage-era nightclub singer in “The Rocketeer,” contributing several songs to the film’s soundtrack. That same year Clint East- wood cast her in the pivotal role of Christy Sullivan opposite Gene Hackman in ‘Absolute Power’. She carved out an im- pressive career in movies and television before becoming Jan on NBC’s hit, “The Office” (2004-2009). Being part of an award-winning show opened new doors for Hardin, who has also appeared in the Golden Globe winning film “Thank You for Smoking” (2006), “27 Dresses” (2007), as the adult ro- mantic lead in “The Hannah Montana Movie” (2009) and “17 Again” (2009) with Zac Efron and Matthew Perry.

Born in Houston and raised in Los Angeles by her father, Jerry Hardin, a prolific character actor who has appeared in over 100 films and TV shows; and her mother, Diane Hardin, was the acting coach behind young stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Jessica Biel. Hilary Swank, Kellie Martin, and River Pheonix.

Inspired by Judy Garland and Barbra Streisand, young Hardin was acting, creating shows with neighborhood kids, singing and writing songs even before she began taking bal- let lessons at the age of five. At age 13, Hardin won a schol- arship to study with the Joffrey Ballet Company in New York, and throughout her teens kept up a busy schedule that in- cluded rigorous dance training – recurring roles on television and big screen appearances whenever possible.

Hardin attended Sarah Lawrence College in New York State and when not studying or acting headed off on solitary world travel adventures that continue to inform her as a well- rounded actress. While at Sarah Lawrence the devoted
dancer got her first major headlining moment in 1988, playing Baby in the short-lived TV adaptation of “Dirty Dancing” (CBS, 1988-89).

On television she made steady appearances on shows like “Quantum Leap,” “Caroline in the City” and several juicy, memorable character moments like getting Ross to talk dirty on “Friends.” In 2000, she starred in the gritty USA drama, “Cover Me: Based on the True Life of an FBI Family.” Several other smart, adult women characters followed on “Boston Legal,” “Judging Amy” and in 2004 she began to be seen on the critically acclaimed “Monk,” playing wife to the obsessive compulsive investigator (Tony Shaloub).

However a pilot she had filmed earlier called “The Office” based on the famed British series of the same name plucked her away from that with it’s sudden and highly touted success. Her portrayal of no-nonsense boss and occasional sex object, Jan Levinson, made her an enormous hit with view- ers and critics.

Hardin made her Broadway debut playing Roxie in “Chicago” and got to play one of her dream roles, Fantine, in the Hollywood Bowl All-Star production of “Les Miz.”

At the beginning of 2008 Hardin also starred in a one-woman singing act of her own at the Catalina Jazz Club in Los Angeles. ‘At the Water Cooler’ was directed by Richard Jay Alexander, who recently directed one of Melora’s heroes, Barbra Streisand, in her latest European tour.

And now Richard and Melora have collaborated again with her tour-de-force “An Evening With Melora Hardin.”
