Funny, adorable Lori Tan Chinn is a prolific theater house actress. Since the early 1980s she has played in minor yet memorable on-camera roles, particularly supporting Roseanne Barr in Susan Seidelman's dark comedy film She-Devil (1989), as Iris the hairdresser in the second season of Roseanne (1988), and as the persistent and vulgar waitress in the Mickey Blue Eyes (1999) 'eat cookie' scene.
