Where you’ve seen her

Whether doing drama or comedy, Julianna Margulies always seems to leave a lasting impression. Here’s a look at some of her credits:

“ER,” NBC (1994-2000): As stormy-natured nurse Carol Hathaway, she nearly overdosed in the pilot episode over her failed romance with Dr. Doug Ross (George Clooney). The pair’s tumultuous relationship captivated viewers for six seasons before they exited Chicago’s County General (and the show), ostensibly to raise twins together in Seattle. Margulies won an Emmy the first season and was nominated again each year until she left.

“Saturday Night Live” NBC (February 2000): Guest-hosting in leather pants during her final season on “ER,” she introduced her “next show,” in which she played an emergency veterinary nurse attempting to revive a flat-lining guinea pig called Peanuts.

“Scrubs” ABC (two episodes, 2004) Played a hard-nosed malpractice attorney who literally kicks, canes or wallops the crotch of every doctor she encounters in a comedy sequence enhanced by the over-active imagination of J.D. (Zach Braff).

“The Sopranos,” HBO (four episodes, 2006): Played a sultry and substance-addicted real estate agent who showed Tony some commercial property, nearly bedded him and then took up with Christopher after meeting him at AA.

“Snakes on a Plane” New Line Cinema (2006): As a flight attendant in this chaotic low-brow comedy thriller, she teamed with FBI agent Flynn (Samuel L. Jackson) to try to pull the plane — and the project — out of a nose dive.

“Canterbury’s Law” Fox (March-April 2008): Starred as a tough-minded defense attorney who gets into trouble when she bends the law to protect clients she believes are innocent. Hurt by the 2007-08 Writers Guild strike, it was canceled after six episodes.

“City Island” Anchor Bay Releasing (now playing): She plays the hot-tempered wife of a prison guard (Andy Garcia) who yearns to be an actor in director Raymond de Felitta’s loud, lively Bronx-set domestic comedy, which won the audience award at the Tribeca Film Festival.
