Biography
It came as no surprise to film aficionados when in 1999
Entertainment Weekly named Jill Clayburgh to its list of
Hollywood's 25 Greatest Actresses. For nearly 30 years she has
delivered stellar performances in a wide variety of roles. Born
into wealth in 1944 in New York City, Jill Clayburgh was educated
at the finest schools including Sarah Lawrence College. It was
while at Sarah Lawrence that she decided on a career in acting and
joined the famous Charles Street Repetory Theater in Boston. She
moved to New York in the late 1960s and had featured roles in a
number of Broadway productions including "The Rothschilds" and
"Pippin." She began her career in films in 1970 and got her first
major role in _Portnoy's Complaint (1972)_ (qv) in 1972. In 1976,
she rose to screen prominence with her performance in _An Unmarried
Woman (1976)_ qv) for which she received an Oscar nomination. She
was again nominated for the Academy Award in 1979 for her role in
_Starting Over (1979)_ (qv) But after giving a riveting portrayal
as a Valium addict in _I'm Dancing As Fast As I Can (1982)_ (qv)
her career went into a rapid decline, mainly because of her poor
choices of scripts. She seemed destined for a comeback after
appearing in _Where Are The Children? (1986)_ (qv) with
multi-talented child actress Elisabeth Harnois, but her excellent
performance was largely ignored by the critics who opted to give
the credit for the thriller's success to the performance of the
precocious, six year old Harnois. Since the late 1980s, Jill has
worked mainly in television and low budget films. But in early
1999, it was announced that she was being considered for the title
role in a big budget film based on the life of Nora Joyce, the near
illiterate wife of world renowned novelist James Joyce -- a role
that could easily restore her to the prominence and acclaim that
she enjoyed in the 1970s.
