Courtney Thorne-Smith as Lyndsey McElroy

Courtney Thorne-Smith brilliantly portrayed Lyndsey McElroy on “Two and a Half Men,” emerging as one of Alan Harper’s most significant relationships and frequently finding herself tangled in the Harper brothers’ shenanigans. Yet this wasn’t Courtney’s first rodeo on prime-time television.

She skyrocketed to fame in the 1990s with “Melrose Place” and later showcased her comedic prowess alongside Jim Belushi in “According to Jim.” With her perfect blend of comedy and drama chops, she has been a beloved fixture in Hollywood with a career spanning over 30 years. Courtney is also a published author, and her novel “Outside In,” offers an insider’s view of the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown.
