After hitting it big in the late 90s, thanks toDharma & Greg‘s unexpected success, which earned her a Golden Globe win, Jenna Elfman’s presence in showbiz dwindled out in the years that followed. While the actress has starred in several sitcoms since, those releases weren’t able to replicate the buzz ofDharma & Greg, which lasted for five seasons.
Another major factor has been the actress’ devotion to Scientology and her personal life. Moreover, it seems Elfman is quite contained with her life outside of showbiz.
Jenna Elfman Spoke Highly of Her Affiliation With Scientology
Since being introduced to Scientology in the mid-90s, courtesy of Bodhi Elfman, with whom she had been married for the past three decades at this point, Jenna Elfman has been quite vocal about her stance on Scientology.

Similar to other celebs that areaffiliated with Scientology, includingTom Cruise, Elfman expressed her desire to see other people thrive,adding“I give a damn about making the world a better place”.
What is important to me? I give a damn about making the world a better place. I care about seeing others smile with genuine happiness. I think the world needs more of that. I’m not interested in sensationalism. I’m interested in seeing other people do well. And spreading kindness, warmth and sincerity. I never forget to appreciate the absurd. And I find it uplifting to admire what’s right in others. I also find it pleasurable to be totally ridiculous.
Considering she has been devoted to Scientology for the better part of three decades, this somewhat explains her absence from the mainstream limelight. However, Scientology isn’t the lone subject that has kept the actress occupied in the aftermath ofDharma & Greg‘s success, as apart from being a podcast host alongside her husband, Elfman has prioritized herpersonal life.
Jenna Elfman Feels More Young With Age
Although theDark Windsstar is yet to match the height of herDharma & Gregdays, Elfman, who turned 53 this year, seems in no rush regarding her future career opportunities. When asked about her stance on aging in 2022, the actress expressed (viaGlamour) that she feels“younger than I’ve ever been”, as she no longer concerns herself with others’ approvals.
I feel younger than I’ve ever been. I feel like I have so much more knowledge about life, about myself, that I’m truly, genuinely enjoying life, and that gives you energy. I’m less stressed. I’m more interested. I get more sensation out of living than I ever have in my whole life.
While time will tell what the future holds for Elfman in showbiz and whether she will be able to replicate her late 90s status, as of now, she continues to live life on her own terms.
