Kimberly Williams-Paisley (Gretchen Martin)
Okay so back to Lyndsey…her fiancé Larry had a sister Gretchen. Now, you probably remember her…she was dating Alan when he went by the alter-ego ‘Jeff Strongman.’ However, all his lies cause Gretchen to leave. Before the show, Kimberly had built quite a reputation in Hollywood. Her most well-known character was alongside Steve Martin in the Father of the Bride films. She also acted in According to Jim with Courtney Throne-Smith for eight years. Her recent film The Christmas Train came out in late 2017. If you couldn’t guess by her last name, she’s married to country star Brad Paisley, and they have two kids.
Kimberly Williams-Paisley (Gretchen Martin)
Season 11 was the only season in which Kimberly Williams-Paisley appeared on the show. She played Gretchen Martin, Larry Martin’s sister. She played one of Alan’s exes in the play. It didn’t come as much of a shock. Alan had no intention of telling Gretchen the truth about who he really was until her family found out, so their relationship was built on deceit. He said he was the owner of Charlie’s house but left out the fact that he still lived with his parents. When the truth was revealed, it was time for them to part ways. Basically, she labeled him a pathological liar.
