Unrecognizable Emmy winner flaunts major weight loss

This Emmy-winning actress looked unrecognizable as she stepped out in New York City last Wednesday.

The 65-year-old star showcased her smaller frame in blue jeans as she posed with similarly slimmed-down Ricki Lake at the opening night of Rosie O’Donnell’s one-woman show Common Knowledge.

The New Jersey-born, Illinois-raised entertainer rocked a pair of eyeglᴀsses and wore her hair slicked back. 

She’s best known for her roles in ABC’s The Practice, NBC’s Law & Order, Todd Solondz’s 1998 dark satire Happiness, and David Zucker’s 2003 slasher parody Scary Movie 3.

She also starred in Lᴀsse Hallström’s 2005 family drama An Unfinished Life.

Can you guess who she is?
