But beyond that signature role, our guest has had a long and distinguished career in theater, film and television. She’s appeared in 6 Broadway shows including "Moonchildren", “All Over Town”, “Summer Brave” and “Watch on the Rhine”. And her prolific body of work off-Broadway includes “The Beggars Opera”, "Save Grand Central", "Uncommon Women and Others”, "The Eccentricities of a Nightingale”, and “The Kid”, for which she received a Drama Desk Award nomination. And for her performance in "Lemon Sky" and "Life Under Water", she received an Obie Award. On the big screen, she’s been in many great movies including “An Unmarried Woman”, “Arthur”, “Manna From Heaven”, “Something Borrowed” and “Chantilly Bridge”. On television, in addition to “LA Law”, she’s appeared in dozens of classic shows including “Hill Street Blues”, “Judging Amy”, “Law & Order”, “The Good Fight” and “Ellsbeth”. And she’s been in many terrific TV movies and miniseries including “The Best of Families”, “Orphan Train”, “Kane & Abel”, “Family Sins”, “An Inconvenient Woman”, “Living a Lie”, “The Other Woman”, and of course, in 2002, she reprised her role as “Ann Kelsey” in "L.A. Law - The Movie". And some of her most memorable performances have been with her equally brilliant husband, Michael Tucker, not only in “LA Law”, but on stage in "Love Letters," and on TV in "A Family Again," "Assault and Matrimony," "A Town Torn Apart", "Gone in a Heartbeat", and "The Secret Life of Archie’s Wife," to name only a few. They also co-produced a very personal, compelling and multi-award-winning documentary in 1988 called "Destined to Live," which dealt with the emotional aspects of breast cancer, from diagnosis to recovery. And in 2007, they co-produced an award-winning documentary called "Emile Norman - By His Own Design".For more interviews and podcasts go to: https://www.harveybrownstoneinterviews.com/For more information on Jill Eikenberry, go to:https://www.facebook.com/jilleikenberryactress/@harveybrownstone,#harveybrownstone,@harveybrownstoneinterviews,#harveybrownstoneinterviews,#JillEikenberry,@JillEikenberry,#jilleikenberryactress,#MichaelTucker,#LALaw,#DustinHoffman,#JamesCaan,#DudleyMoore,#Arthur,#BreastcancerAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
