On April 18th, Kristen Miller holds a rare spot in sitcom history as a double-dipper on Seinfeld, playing two totally different characters.

Back in 1993, she first popped up as Ellen, the woman who snubs George Costanza for a job in the sniffing account in episode. Then, two years later, she came back stronger as Paula in the doodle, actually dating George around Valentine's Day. That second role gave her way more screen time in laughs, which caught the eye of ABC execs. They were on the fence about her for the Drew Carey show, thinking she was too new, but her Seinfeld comeback sealed the deal for a starring spot. Miller figured her slightly longer hair helped her return without clashing, and producers knew about her first gig, but let her role anyway since it was small. She calls the bigger episode the best part full of fun moments. These connections show how one
