Bobby Shred has got a fan site for Rachel Sweet, and offers rare TV performance footage for trade on DVD:

from http://www.bobbyshred.com/rachelsweet.html

She made two more albums "...And Then he Kissed Me", and "Blame It On Love." She toured extensively before returning to New York to get a degree from Columbia University.
She is now an actress and screenwriter having appeared in several movies. She has sung the soundtrack for such movies such as "Hairspray" and "Sing." She has also appeared in many sitcoms on television like "Seinfeld" and "The Single Guy."

Where she shows up next is anyone's guess. Whether acting in a movie or singing her heart out, her talent will always be noticed. One day she'll lose her cult status, and everyone will know her name.

IIRC correctly, she was also the voice of Barbie on a CD release and was also on the soundtrack of the Johnny Depp vehicle "Crybaby". I would have definitely loved to see her do more, but I don't think any of her albums sold all that well. Oops...almost forgot...she did a great version of "Silver Bells" on the "Stuart Saves His Family" soundtrack.

I've only got the Rhino "Fool Around", but she shouldn't be too difficult to collect.

Her 'Seinfeld' appearance was on the classic 'The Contest' episode. She played George's cousin who visited his mother at the hospital while George was distracted by the woman in the next bed getting a sponge bath.

She was also a host on the Comedy Channel, a precursor to Comedy Central that was sort of MTV-ish, but unfortunately bleeped everything.

She's also done quite a bit of writing for television, including several episodes of Sports Night.

It appears she wishes to keep a low profile.

The best info I've found is in her slowly dying yahoo fan club:
