Biography
BEVERLY LINCOLN
Played by Tamsin Greig

Along with her husband Sean, Beverly is the proud creator of a hit British television series that won numerous awards. Unlike Sean though, Beverly chafes under the Hollywood business model, where nothing is even remotely rational. Despite a certain fondness for Carol Rance, she sees Matt LeBlanc for the boob he is and longs to get back to England. And yet, the lure of tinseltown is unavoidable, and Beverly certainly enjoys a well-stocked gift bag as much as the next person, perhaps more.
