Personal Quote:

(2011, on Drop Dead Gorgeous) I think I get more people coming up to me saying how much they love that movie than any other thing I've done. Even more than West Wing, I have to say. That movie is a cult classic, and that was a great part. I did a lot of improv in that part, and... It was a long time shooting up there for me... See more »

Trivia:

In the 1998 movie The Object of My Affection, she played Alan Alda's wife. In the early 1990s, she attended Kenyon College with Alda's daughter, Elizabeth Alda. Alda co-starred on The West Wing from 2005-2006 with Janney, though they have not appeared together on camera. See more »
