I was just browsing through my mp3 collection and came across "A Long and Winding Road" by Bonnie Somerville...I had to look it up to verify and sure enough, it's her.
According to wikipedia, she and Zach Braff were dating when Garden State came out and she did background vocals on Josh Radin's first album too. Small world.

Jeers to Bonnie Somerville for being the weak link in ABC's new Cashmere Mafia. Lucy Liu's got star power, and foreign imports Frances O'Connor and Mirando Otto can actually, you know, act.
With her steamroller line readings and lack of charisma, bland
bombshell Somerville (who's never made much of an impression, despite
roles on Friends and NYPD Blue) can't even make her same-sex subplot interesting. She's the Fredo of this Mafia."
What show are these people watching?!? I get that some people don't like this show. That is fine, and your own opinion. But Bonnie SUmmerville's portrayal of Caitlin, IMO, is the most realistic and genuine acting on the whole show!! "Lack of charisma"?!?! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY TO THAT.
This guy (or girl) is officially an idiot.

The first time I saw her on CM I thaught there was something strange with her eyes. I can't describe it but I thought that her pupils were dialated cause they were darker at night than in the day, I eventually got over it and realized what natural spark she has in them that just makes you either hate her or love her for it.
....either ways same thing happened to me on the mp3 thing. I had downloaded the whole Garden State Album to chilax before the hurricane in 05-06 (great album helped me get over the 2-3 weeks of depression: no light or electronics available, and being stuck with three weird siblings with nothing stoping you from communicating, yes very depressing indeed :[ ) and her name kept staying in the back of my mind when I read one of the articles about CM here in AE but it never clicked until I frikken went to wikipedia and found out I had the song....Amazing singer and actress.
Yeah I dunno if its just because her eyes are brown or what. But I thought she looked like she was pilled up because her pupils looked dilated. Still don't really know what to make of it. I think it looks quite sexy though.
"My life's like a romantic comedy that's never romantic! Or comedic! My life is nothing like a romantic comedy!" - Caitlin (Cashmere Mafia)
So, I came across Bonnie Somerville's old show Kitchen Confidential on Myspace Primetime today and I've wasted a few hours watching it--what can I say, I'm loyal to actresses who bring visibility to our community (are you listening Hollywood?!).
Anyway, I'm about halfway through the first season and...
That's Bonnie Somerville locked in another girl-on-girl smooch Erinn Hayes (who looks amazingly like Jorja Fox from CSI) with John Cho (aka Harold from Harold and Kumar looking on).

That's rather interesting that TVGuide would say she's the weekest link
since according to the IMDB message boards, to most people, Caitlin is
their favorite. I'd hardly call her he week link. I'm sad to say I
think us AfterEllen bloggers may be a bit biased just because we're so
flippin grateful that there's actually a queer woman on TV, but I find
it a little hard to believe that every single one of those posters is lesbian/bi. TvGuide dun't know what they're talking about. Who doesn't love Caitlin!??
Bonnie Summerville
All I know about Bonnie Summerville is that she sang the song at the end of Garden State called A Long and Winding Road.

TV Guide Jeers?!?
In the most recent TV Guide:
"Jeers: Cashmere Mafia's Not-So-Hot Somerville
Jeers to Bonnie Somerville for being the weak link in ABC's new Cashmere Mafia. Lucy Liu's got star power, and foreign imports Frances O'Connor and Mirando Otto can actually, you know, act.

OMG
I'm sure they're not watching the same show, I agree with all your comments re Bonnie, she's cute and exceptionally funny, she has great comic timing.
Maybe he/she is an ex with an axe to grind because whatever they are, there's no justification for writing such a poor comment.
am I the only one

I thought the same thing about her eyes
