(Dr. Mary Albright)
Two-time Emmy winner Jane Curtin gained national attention when she made her TV debut in 1975 as one of the original members of the Not Ready for Prime Time Players on the hit NBC late-night series "Saturday Night Live." During her five-year run on that show, she received critical acclaim and two Emmy nominations for her creation of an assortment of memorable characters, including the anchor on "Weekend Update" and the mother of the "Conehead" family.

She starred with Susan Saint James for five years on the popular television series "Kate and Allie," twice earning the Emmy Award as Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (1984, 1985) for her portrayal of affable divorcee Allie Lowell.

Curtin's other television credits include the critically acclaimed miniseries "Common Ground"; the TV movies "Divorce Wars" with Tom Selleck and "Maybe Baby" with Dabney Coleman; and the specials "Bob and Ray & Jane, Laraine and Gilda" and "30 Years of Comedy's Greatest Hits."

Her feature-film credits include "The Coneheads," "How to Beat the High Cost of Living," "Suspicion," "Mr. Mike's Mondo Video" and "O.C. and Stiggs."

Born and raised in Cambridge, Mass., Curtin studied drama at Northeastern University. She was a member of the improvisational theater group The Proposition for four years before going on a national tour with a number of plays, including the comedy "Last of the Red Hot Lovers." She appeared on Broadway as Prossie in George Bernard Shaw's "Candida," with Joanne Woodward, and reprised the role on television. Her other stage credits include the off-Broadway musical revue "Pretzels," which she co-wrote, and several appearances in A.R. Gurney's "Love Letters."

Curtin lives in Connecticut with her husband and their daughter. Her birthday is September 6.
