Jane Krakowski (b. 1968) is a Broadway, film and television actress who is best-known for her roles on Ally McBeal, 30 Rock, and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.
Krakowski appeared in the 2008 special A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa as Claire's mom. In the same year and in 2009 she hosted the annual TV special Christmas in Rockefeller Center, both of which included guest appearances by the Muppets.
On Sesame Street, Krakowski made a guest appearance in Episode 4521 as Baby Bear's teacher, Ms. Goodwitch. She also took part in the show's pre-taped musical performance in the 2019 Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, seen carpooling to the parade with Oscar the Grouch in his Sloppy Jalopy.
Krakowski was one of many actresses to audition for the role of Sarah in Labyrinth.[1] She later played Betty O'Shale in the 2000 film The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas, which included puppets by Jim Henson's Creature Shop.
Krakowski recorded a cover of "Rubber Duckie" as a part of her 2010 album The Laziest Gal in Town.
In response to the rumors in 2021 that she was dating the CEO of MyPillow, Krakowski distanced herself from the politicized story by issuing a statement to news outlets via her talent agency: "Jane has never met Mr. Lindell. She is not and has never been in any relationship with him, romantic or otherwise. She is, however, in full-fledged fantasy relationships with Brad Pitt, Regé-Jean Page, and Kermit the Frog and welcomes any and all coverage on those."[2]
Her extensive Broadway credits include a Tony award winning role in Nine (based on Federico Fellini's 8 1/2), Grand Hotel (with Michael Jeter), and Once Upon a Mattress (with Sarah Jessica Parker), and She Loves Me (with Zachary Levi).
