Christine Baranski is turning 65 today. She graduated from Juilliard and made her Broadway debut in 1980 in Lezley Havad’s Hide and Seek. During the next decade she was primarily a stage actress, and won a pair of Tony Awards, both for Outstanding Featured Actress in a Play. The first was for Tom Stoppard’s The Real Thing, while the second was for Neil Simon’s Rumors. Baranski also made a few TV guest appearances during this time, along with playing some supporting roles in movies.
In the past twenty-odd years, Baranski has become a regular and much-acclaimed television presence, receiving fifteen Emmy nominations. The first four of them were for appearing on a CBS sitcom which began airing in 1995.
