Biography

Jane Therese Curtin, a remarkable individual, was born on September 6th, 1947. Her journey to fame began when she was 27 years old, as she courageously auditioned for a comedy variety show, which would ultimately become her ticket to stardom, Saturday Night Live (1975). In a remarkable display of talent, Jane emerged victorious, outshining her competitor, Mimi Kennedy. The same year, she tied the knot with Patrick Lynch.

Following her five-year tenure on SNL, Jane ventured into new horizons, giving birth to her daughter Tess during the interim. She then co-starred in the popular sitcom Kate & Allie (1984),a heartwarming portrayal of two divorced women sharing a household with their children. After Kate & Allie (1984) and a series of film appearances, including the cult classic Coneheads (1993),Jane joined the cast of 3rd Rock from the Sun (1996),a show that delved into the lives of aliens adjusting to life on Earth in the heartland of Ohio. The show's production came to an end in 2001, after which Jane transitioned her talents to the Broadway stage. Today, she resides with her husband and daughter, a testament to her enduring legacy.
