She’s appeared on Broadway in 6 shows, including “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying”, “Bravo Giovanni”, “Seesaw”, for which she won a Drama Desk Award, an Outer Critics Award AND a Tony Award nomination, and of course, “The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife”, for which she received another Tony Award nomination. She also starred as “Mame” at the Hollywood Bowl alongside Christine Ebersole and Benjamin Platt. And most recently she played “Madame Morrible” on Broadway in “Wicked”.  


And on the big screen, our guest has appeared in a number of great movies including “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying”, “The Love Bug”, “The Comic” and “Along Came Polly”. And on television, our guest has been immortalized for her portrayal of the resilient and compassionate “Karen MacKenzie” on the blockbuster TV series, “Knots Landing”, for which she received an Emmy Award nomination, and she won 5 Soap Opera Digest Awards, as well as the 2009 TV Land Anniversary Award.  


But beyond that iconic role, our guest has appeared in many classic TV shows including “Ben Casey”, “The Red Skelton Show”, “The Carol Burnett Show”, “Marcus Welby”, “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-in”, “Will & Grace”, and many more. And she’s starred in dozens of TV movies and miniseries including “Only With Married Men”, “Dark Victory”, “A Letter to Three Wives”, “The Fatal Image”, “A Murder on Shadow Mountain” and “Scandalous Me: The Jacqueline Susann Story”, which she also executive produced.
