Remember The Beautiful Women From Two and a Half Men? This Is What They're Up To Now
Two and a Half Men ran for an incredible 12 seasons from 2003 to 2015 — and it was an absolute ratings juggernaut. The sitcom made massive amounts of money for CBS and even brought in nine Emmys. There’s one other thing in the show’s favor, too: it showcased the comedic skills of dozens of beautiful actresses. And if you’ve ever wondered what happened to these supporting stars, here is what they’ve been up to. Yep, including the popular women who played love interests Kandi and Lyndsey.
1. Jenny McCarthy as Courtney
First seen: "Shoes, Hats, Pickle Jar Lids"
Last seen: "Nine Magic Fingers"
No. of episodes: 8
Season(s): 5, 8, 9
Real name: Sylvia Fishman
Jenny McCarthy was already a big name before she guested on Two and a Half Men. And perhaps inevitably, she played a blonde bombshell on the sitcom — albeit one with a propensity to con. So while Courtney Leopold may have been beautiful, she also ended up taking a lot of Charlie’s cash.

Currently, McCarthy serves as a judge on The Masked Singer. Reality TV fans may also remember her show with hubby Donnie Wahlberg: the cutely named Donnie Loves Jenny. Since appearing on Two and a Half Men, then, McCarthy has focused less on acting and more on appearing as herself.
2. Judy Greer as Bridget
First seen: "People Who Love Peepholes"
Last seen: "Of Course He's Dead"
First mentioned: "Nice to Meet You, Walden Schmidt"
No. of episodes: 11
Full name: Bridget Schmidt
Season(s): 9, 10, 11, 12
Fans will know that Judy Greer actually played three roles in Two and a Half Men. When Charlie Sheen was in the show, she portrayed Myra — one of Charlie Harper’s many romantic interests. Then, after the series was revamped and Ashton Kutcher was brought in, Greer was cast in the ongoing role of Walden Schmidt’s former wife, Bridget. She also made a brief appearance as Danny — who was strangely identical to Bridget.

Greer continues to be one of the most prolific and sought-after character actresses in the business. Her screen résumé — which includes blockbusters Jurassic World, Ant-Man, and Halloween — looks pretty impressive, too. And in 2014 Greer added yet another string to her bow by publishing the playfully titled memoir I Don’t Know What You Know Me From: Confessions of a Co-Star.
