Boston, Massachusetts, USA:
Allison Brooks Janney (nata il 19 novembre 1959) è un'attrice americana. In una carriera che si estende per tre decenni, è nota per le sue interpretazioni in molteplici generi di cinema e teatro. Janney ha ricevuto vari riconoscimenti, tra cui un Premio Oscar, un British Academy Film Award, un Golden Globe e sette Primetime Emmy Awards, oltre a nomination per due Tony Awards. Nata a Boston e cresciuta a Dayton, Ohio, Janney ha ricevuto una borsa di studio per studiare alla Royal Academy of Dramatic Art dopo la laurea al Kenyon College. Dopo anni di apparizioni minori e non accreditate in film e televisione, la svolta di Janney arrivò con il ruolo di C. J. Cregg nel dramma politico della NBC The West Wing (1999–2006), per il quale ricevette quattro Primetime Emmy Awards. Nel 2014 ha vinto il Primetime Emmy Award come Miglior Attrice Ospite in una Serie Drammatica per il suo ruolo di Margaret Scully nel dramma d'epoca di Showtime Masters of Sex. Per la sua interpretazione di Bonnie Plunkett, una cinica ex tossicodipendente in recupero nella sitcom CBS Mom (2013–2021), Janney ha ricevuto sei nomination ai Primetime Emmy Award e ha vinto due volte come Miglior Attrice Non Protagonista in una Serie Comica. Janney ha debuttato professionalmente sul palcoscenico con la produzione Off-Broadway Ladies (1989), e ha seguito numerosi piccoli ruoli in produzioni simili, prima di debuttare a Broadway con la ripresa del 1996 di Present Laughter. Ha vinto due Drama Desk Awards ed è stata nominata per due Tony Awards: come Miglior Attrice in un'Opera per la sua interpretazione nella ripresa di Broadway di A View from the Bridge (1997) e come Miglior Attrice in un Musical per il suo ruolo nella produzione originale di Broadway del musical 9 to 5 (2009). I suoi ruoli cinematografici includono Private Parts (1997), Primary Colors (1998), 10 cose che odio di te (1999), Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999), American Beauty (1999), Nurse Betty (2000), The Hours (2002), Hairspray (2007), Juno (2007), The Help (2011), The Way, Way Back (2013), Tammy (2014), The Rewrite (2014), Spy (2015), Tallulah (2016), The Girl on the Train (2016), Bad Education (2019) e Bombshell (2019). Ha doppiato ruoli in Alla ricerca di Nemo (2003), Oltre la siepe (2006), Minions (2015) e La famiglia Addams (2019). Per la sua interpretazione nella commedia nera I, Tonya (2017), Janney ha vinto un Oscar, un BAFTA e un Golden Globe, tutti come Miglior Attrice Non Protagonista.
