Independent film actress Catherine Keener was Jerry’s girlfriend, Nina, on “The Letter” episode. She played a quirky artist who painted a massive portrait of Kramer. Keener has distinguished her career by earning two Oscar nominations for “Being John Malkovich” and for “Capote.”
In the “Seinfeld” episode, Nina pens a letter to Jerry, which inspires him to give her a call. She writes, “You mean so much to me that I’m willing to take all your abuse and insults and insensitivity.” Jerry’s sold. Keener’s latest work was in the successful horror flick, “Get Out.”
Sheila
Alexandra Wentworth is best known for "In Living Color" and other comedic performances. Notably, she’s married to ABC anchor George Stephanopoulos. She appeared on what is arguably the best Seinfeld episode ever, “The Soup Nazi.” Sheila, as Jerry’s girlfriend, is thrown a huge blow when she stands up to the terrifying soup peddler, only to have Jerry abandon her for continued access to the coveted soup kitchen.
Kissing is forbidden in the Soup Nazi’s line. He runs a zero-tolerance establishment. When Elaine tries to sweet-talk him with compliments, he screams, “Nothing for you! Come back, one year!”
Jeannie
Janeane Garofalo joined Seinfeld as Jerry’s girlfriend (and fiancé!) until Jerry realizes she’s exactly like himself. Everything seemed so perfect. Jeannie says, “We’ve got tremendous kiss compatibility.” Jerry concurs, “It’s all about meshing.” She says, “I talk to you; it’s like I’m talking to myself.”
Then Jerry realizes he hates himself. We know her best on "SNL." She’s been a vocal anti-war activist along with other prominent artists. Most recently, she’s in "The God Committee" with Kelsey Grammer and Julia Stiles.
Lois
Renee Props visits "Seinfeld" for “The Race.” In this episode, she is Lois. Seinfeld is wild about her because her name, Lois, reminds him of Lois Lane, which would make him Superman. He thinks his high school track record, winning by a long shot as a freshman, proves his super-powers.
Of course, when she discovers he cheated with a head start, he loses the girl by the end of the episode, as usual. Renee Props has been an actress since her crucial role on CBS’s daytime soap opera, "As the World Turns." She’s also guest-starred on several TV shows and films.
Alex
Melinda Clarke played Jerry’s girlfriend Alex before she took the world by storm, starring on "The OC." As Alex, she guest-starred on the “The Muffin Tops” episode. It’s mostly about Elaine’s fixation for muffin tops and the subsequent marketing adventure of a just-the-tops bakery shop. Meanwhile, Jerry’s fixated about chest hair.
Specifically, his new girlfriend thinks he’s naturally hairless. But actually, a shaving mishap resulted in his having to shave his chest completely. He doesn’t want to tell her. These days, Clarke has been taking a break from acting. She last appeared on "Gotham" in 2016.
