LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Brooke Elliott sprung out of the theater world and became a hit on primetime cable TV over the past few months by playing a recently deceased 24-year-old perky model who comes back to earth in the body of a 30-something curvy lawyer in 'Drop Dead Diva.'The actress, who AccessHollywood.com named a Rising Star over the summer, lived up to the accolades thanks to her effervescent performance as the legal eagle with a developing conscience, Jane Bingham.
