The Beauty of Retrospect, Actress Edition: Teri Polo

Being a fan of Teri Polo feels like what it must have felt like for Charlie Brown of "Peanuts" fame to be a fan of Joe Shlabotnik, a baseball player (fictional, of course) who kept ending up in the minor leagues. I hope against hope that she's going to be a bigger star than she is.


Teri Polo did enjoy success as Pamela Byrnes in the Meet the Parents movies, but it's only as Pamela that she's been able to attract the masses. Alas, she has to her credit two failed television series, three failed television pilots, and a couple of forgotten movies.

She remains active, though. She recently appeared in the cable television movie Expecting a Miracle and, at this writing, is set to appear in a third Meet the Parents movie.
