Christine Jane Baranski is an award winning American actress who was born May 2, 1952.
She received a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Maryann Thorpe in the sitcom Cybill.
Ms Baranski is also known for portraying Diane Lockhart in the legal drama series The Good Wife as well as and its spin-off series The Good Fight.
She portrays Agnes van Rhijn in the period drama series The Gilded Age which is presently in production.
Both roles which earned her Primetime Emmy Award nominations.
Christine Baranski portrayed Dr Beverly Hofstadter in the sitcom The Big Bang Theory for which she received four Primetime Emmy Award nominations and her permanent place in my heart of hearts.
This was my favorite of her roles and I get the warm and fuzzies just thinking about her mannerisms and diction to this day.
Baranski is also known for other film roles and won two Tony Awards for Best Featured Actress in a Play for her role as Charlotte in Tom Stoppard's The Real Thing and as Chris Gorman in Neil Simon's Rumors.
She also has major Broadway credits, but nothing surpasses Dr Beverly Hofstadter as far as I am concerned.
She was married to Matthew Cowles in 1983 and they had two daughters. Unfortunately he passed from congestive heart failure on May 22, 2014.
Christine Baranski will always be special to me because her work has touched me at so many levels. Today is her birthday. She's still a beautiful young talented vivacious woman.
