Seven-time Emmy winner Allison Janney is turning 58 today. She studied at Kenyon College, where she was in a play directed by Kenyon alumnus Paul Newman. She did further study at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York and the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and began her stage and screen career in the late 1980s. She had supporting roles in a long list of 1990s films, but her breakthrough didn’t come until the end of the decade. She starred in a 1998 Broadway revival of Arthur Miller’s A View from the Bridge, and received a Tony nomination. A year later, she was cast in the role of C. J. Gregg on The West Wing, and became the breakout star of the series, winning four Emmys in its seven-season run.

Janney also won a pair of SAG Awards and was a four-time Golden Globe nominee for The West Wing. She has had significant roles in films such as Juno, The Help, Liberal Arts (much of which was filmed at her alma mater, Kenyon College), and Spy. She received a second Tony nomination for starring in the original Broadway production of the musical 9 to 5. She received an Emmy for a guest appearance on Masters of Sex, and has won two more for starring as Bonnie Plunkett on CBS’s Mom, which recently began its fifth season.
