Jane Lynch: My role as a ‘butch-lesbian dog handler’ is hard to explain to kids

Jane Lynch — who’s starring as baddie Miss Hannigan in “Annie” on Broadway — is having trouble explaining her past résumé to her new, much younger fans. “Try explaining to a 10-year-old what’s funny about playing a butch-lesbian dog handler,” Lynch said of her part in Christopher Guest’s comedy “Best in Show” at a recent Trevor Live benefit. “There were so many questions, I just gave up.” She further joked about Guest’s “A Mighty Wind,” “Do I tell them that I played a porn actress-turned-folk singer? What kind of role model would I be if they found out I played a folk singer?” The “Glee” star’s playing the role until July 14, when Faith Prince takes over as the evil orphanage matron.
