Leisha Hailey

Leisha Hailey is an American actress and musician best known for playing Alice Pieszecki — the lovable, gossipy, endlessly social bisexual/lesbian character — in The L Word (Showtime, 2004–2009) and its revival The L Word: Generation Q (2019–2023). She was a member of the pop duo Uh Huh Her with Camila Grey, her partner. Hailey has been openly lesbian throughout her career and has been a consistent presence in LGBTQ+ entertainment. She spoke about being removed from a Southwest Airlines flight in 2011 after kissing her partner, an incident that became a minor civil rights moment.
