Jean Louisa Kelly (born March 9, 1972) is an actress and singer. She was born in Worcester, Massachusetts and graduated in 1994 from Columbia University's Columbia College with a B.A. in English.

Before attending college she had already had roles in the original Broadway cast of Sondheim's Into the Woods and in the film Uncle Buck with John Candy. After graduation, her most prominent role was as Rowena Morgan, the muse for the title character of Mr. Holland's Opus. She also became well known in the mid-1990s for a series of television commercials she did for MCI long distance in which she played a telephone operator whochallenged AT&T.

Her broadest exposure comes from her recent roles in situation comedies, first guest starring in such shows as Mad About You, and then as a cast member of the short-lived NBC version of Cold Feet and the more successful Yes, Dear. She currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband, entertainment lawyer James Pitaro, and is the mother of a 2-year old son, Sean.
