She also won two Screen Actors' Guild awards (2001 and 2002) and was nominated for four Golden Globes.

Since The West Wing's finale she has been very active in theatre, starring in the hit musical 9 to 5 on Broadway and earning a Tony nomination in the process. She has also had roles of varying sizes in various Hollywood films. Other television credits include Lost, The Guiding Light, Weeds, Law & Order, In Plain Sight, and Frasier. Film credits include Juno, Hairspray, and Finding Nemo as well as Primary Colors* and Struck By Lightning.

She has worked twice with Meryl Streep, in the TV movie ...First Do No Harm and the Oscar-winning film The Hours.

And she is incredibly gorgeous... and quite statuesque.
