She wrote for Seinfeld, has appeared on shows such as Curb Your Enthusiasm and in 2010 published a memoir: When you Lie about Your Age, the Terrorists Win. Terry Gross of NPR’s Fresh Air interviewed Leifer about her book and the transition from being a happy hetero for much of her life to becoming a lesbian in her forties.
