Where is she now?[]
Ever since the cancellation of Daisies, Kristin has had a life of ups and downs. Her memoir A Little Bit Wicked: Life, Love, and Faith in Stages became a New York Times Best Seller. She has been touring to promote it. Among her failures were as the voice of the dimwit science teacher Miracle Grohe in the Fox animated flop Sit Down, Shut Up and as Skippy Pylon in a pilot entitled Legally Mad made by David E. Kelly for NBC that was never picked up. She will soon appear in an episode of the buzzworthy Fox show Glee as April Rhodes, which also stars Jayma Mays.
