Jill Clayburgh (born April 30, 1944) is a twice Academy Award-nominated American actress of stage, motion pictures, and television.

Clayburgh was born in New York City to a Jewish family. She attended Sarah Lawrence College, where she decided that she wanted to be an actress. She later joined the Charles Street Repertory Theater in Boston. She appeared in numerous Broadway productions in the 1960s, including The Rothschilds and Pippin.

Her first major film role came in 1972 in Portnoy's Complaint. She was nominated for the Academy Award as Best Actress for 1978's An Unmarried Woman, for which she won the "Best Actress Award" at the Cannes Film Festival, and for 1979's Starting Over. She also received strong notices for her performance in I'm Dancing as Fast as I Can (which co-starred Geraldine Page).

Her other films include Gable And Lombard (where she played the screen legend Carole Lombard), Silver Streak, Semi-Tough, It's My Turn , First Monday in October and La Luna, a controversial role in Bertolucci's critically panned film. This includes a scene in which her character masturbates her son in an attempt to help his heroin addiction.

Television audiences know her from numerous roles in series and movies including The Practice and as Ally McBeal's mother. She received Emmy Award nominations for her work in the made-for-television movie Hustling in 1975 and for her guest appearance in the television series Nip/Tuck in 2005.

She has been married to screenwriter and playwright David Rabe since 1979. They have one son and one daughter, actress Lily Rabe. Some years ago she publicly admitted to having had an abortion.

In 2006, she appeared on Broadway in Neil Simon's Barefoot in the Park with Patrick Wilson and Amanda Peet; she played Peet's mother, a role originated by the late Mildred Natwick. She also returned to the screen as a therapist's eccentric wife in the all-star ensemble dramedy Running With Scissors, an autobiographical tale of teenage angst and dysfunction based on the book by Augusten Burroughs and co-starring Annette Bening, Brian Cox, Joseph Fiennes, Evan Rachel Wood, Alec Baldwin and Gwyneth Paltrow. Her next role will be as Pat Nixon in the film Dirty Tricks, directed by Running With Scissors director Ryan Murphy.
