 Tim Allen and Jane Curtin in Walt Disney Pictures' The Shaggy Dog.
Birth Date: September 6, 1947
Birth Place: Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA
Jane Curtin first gained national attention when she made her television debut in 1975 as one of the original members of the “Not Ready for Prime Time Players” on the hit 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 many memorable characters.
Curtin starred with Susan St. 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 for her portrayal of affable divorcée Allie Lowell. She followed this with a successful six-year run on the NBC hit “3rd Rock from the Sun.” Curtin's other television credits include the critically acclaimed miniseries “Common Ground,” as well as the television movies “Divorce Wars,” with Tom Selleck, and “Maybe Baby,” with Dabney Coleman.
Curtin's feature credits include “Antz,” “Coneheads,” “How to Beat the High Cost of Living,” “Suspicion,” “Mr. Mike's Mondo Video” and “O.C. & Stiggs.”
Born and raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts, 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 with Joanne Woodward as Prossie in George Bernard Shaw's “Candida” 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.” Most recently, she appeared in the Westport Playhouse production of “Our Town,” which also played on Broadway to a sold-out run in late 2002 with Curtin reprising her role. She most recently starred in “The Librarian” and “The Librarian 2” for TNT and is currently starring in the series “Crumbs” on ABC.
