Judith Harper-Melnick (Marin Hinkle): Now
Marin Hinkle has been acting since the early 1990s – mostly in theater.
Her first major television role was on the ABC drama series, Once and Again, in 1999, where she played the character of Judy Brooks for a total of 58 episodes.
Following her time on Two and a Half Men, Hinkle made several guesy appearances on shows like ER, House and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.
In recent years, she’s landed roles on shows like Speechless, where she plays Dr. Miller, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, where she plays the part of Rose Weissman.
Lyndsey McElroy (Courtney Thorne-Smith): Then
Lyndsey McElroy was Alan’s on/off girlfriend from season 7 until the end of the show. Their relationship was complicated by the fact that her son, Eldridge, was best friends with Jake. Though she had genuine feelings for Alan, their relationship was plagued by bad drinking habits and attention towards other men, including Walden. Lyndsey’s drinking problem manifests in al sorts of ways – and eventually has her vomitting all over the inside of Walden’s private jet, to her great embarassment.
