Leisha Hailey is an American actress and musician born in Okinawa Japan on July 11, 1971. She was raised outside of Omaha, Nebraska. Most widely known for playing Alice Pieszecki in the Showtime Networks production The L Word. Hailey first came to the public's attention as a musician in the pop duo The Murmurs and has continued a music career as part of the band Uh Huh Her.

Leisha Hailey considers herself equal parts musician and actress. "I've never really labeled myself into any pocket of creativity," she says. "I took to it all. I like expanding my creative horizon in any sort of way. I find that they inspire each other. They help me, especially with the live show. In a way,
you're playing someone else when you're onstage."


Openly lesbian, Hailey dated k.d. lang for nearly five years, in a relationship that ended in 2001. As of 2006, she is dating retailer Nina Garduno, owner of Free City Supershop in Hollywood, California.
