Jane Krakowski is not crazy.
Given her best-known roles, however, you’d be forgiven for believing otherwise. As Jacqueline Voorhees, the insecure trophy wife of Netflix’s “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” she clings to socialite status with alarming credibility. And on seven seasons of NBC’s “30 Rock,” she piled layer upon layer of self-delusion onto Jenna Maroney, turning a narcissistic D-lister into a borderline sociopath.
But the self-effacing Krakowski isn’t anything like her creations. “There are moments when you want to stop and say, ‘Thank you,’ ” she says of her career. While filming a scene for Season 2 of “Kimmy,” the actor realized she was approaching 10 years of collaborating with creators Tina Fey, Robert Carlock, and much of the crew from their “30 Rock” days. “I just looked over at Robert Carlock and I got super emotional. There are these moments when it just stops me for a minute: How am I here? How am I performing this material that I love so much, working with people that I admire so much?”
