Born Allison Brooks Janney under the sign of Scorpio on the 19th of November 1959, in Boston, Massachusetts USA, Allison is a 58-year-old Caucasian actress of British and German descent, perhaps best known to the world for her widely recognized and rewarded performances in numerous films, such as “The Help”, “The Hours” and “Juno.” She has had a number of other roles across various films and TV shows throughout her often lucrative acting career since 1984.
Early Life and Education
Janney was raised two siblings in her birthplace, by her father Jervis Spencer Janney, Jr., a real-estate developer and jazz musician, and her mother Macy Brooks (nee Putnam), who is a former actress. It is unknown when she first took an interest in what she does today, as well as any of her childhood hobbies. As for her education, she first attended The Miami Valley School in Dayton, Ohio, where she was later a distinguished alumna in 2004. She also attended the Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Connecticut, where she was Alumna of the Year in 2016. She later went on to attend Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, where she studied alongside the late actor Paul Newman, who inspired her to pursue an acting career. Upon graduating from the said institution in the summer of 1984, Allison obtained a scholarship at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London, England. While doing summer programs there, she also attended the Neighbourhood Playhouse School of the Theatre in New York City, where she spent two years, and finished alongside Steven Rogers.
Career
After graduating from Kenyon College, Allison immediately obtained certain roles in various local plays, and spent some time accumulating acting experience, both as an acting student and as an actress. She made her film debut in 1989, in “Who Shot Patakango?”, and her TV series debut in “Morton & Hayes” in 1991. In between 1991 and 1999, Allison was cast in more than 20 roles, most of which were supporting, and thus her breakthrough was still to be achieved. However, in the latter year, she appeared in the pilot episode of “The West Wing”, where she then remained for 155 episodes as C.J. Cregg until 2006, at which point she was already a well-known actress. While filming, she found the time to audition for various other roles too, mostly across films, thus landing her name in the credits of almost 20 more titles. She would continue this streak for another five years, eventually landing a recurring role in 13 episodes of “Mr. Sunshine” in 2011. In 2012, she was cast in both of the short films about the reunion of “The West Wing” crew. Prior to that, she lent her voice to the Phineas and Ferb show, through 2014. Her streak of 20+ titles continued after that, only this time it was in a matter of four years. Nowadays, she is involved in three future releases.
Her Awards
Allison is definitely one of the most awarded actresses to date, with a 89 award wins from 299 nominations, with 11 runner-up positions. Her most recent award is the 2018 Oscar for the Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role, in “I, Tonya”, while she is also the winner of seven Primetime Emmy Awards, seven Screen Actors Guild Awards, six Critics’ Choice Awards and two Drama Desk Awards. She also has a British Film Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award and an Independent Spirit Award, certainly an impressive CV.
The West Wing
Not only is her performance in “The West Wing” one of the most important roles in her life, it’s also one of her most awarded roles. Portraying the press secretary in the said show, she won four Emmy Awards, both in the lead and supporting actress categories, which is a feat very few actors have achieved to date.
Love Life
As for Allison’s romantic involvements, due to her secrecy about this part of her life, not much is known about any affairs. However, it is known that she dated the actor Dennis Gagomiros from 1982 to 2001; the two broke up for unknown reasons, and for the next 11 years Allison’s relationship status was unknown, until in 2012 it was confirmed that she was dating Philip Joncas, a producer 20 years younger than her. To our knowledge thus far, the two are still dating.

Always go to bed with clean feet. That's from my grandma.
2
I get cast as either the smartest woman in the room or the drunkest woman in the room, and a lot of stuff in between.
3
[2011, on 10 Things I Hate About You (1999)] My first big movie where I got money. Where I got real money that I put in the bank. That was very important to me... And to my father. I remember having dinner with him, telling him, "Dad, I just got cast in this part, and they're paying me blank amount of money", and it was enough to put in the bank and save. And he was very proud of me. [Director] Gil Junger, he was very fun to work with, and he encouraged me to be very silly. And Heath Ledger, that was one of his first movies over here, and he was such a sweet guy and very handsome. And genuinely kind. That's what I remember about him. It was before his career took off, but I just thought, "There's a guy who's going to do well", and I was impressed by the fact that he was so kind and nice. And he remembered my name. I thought that was sweet.
4
[2011, on Drop Dead Gorgeous (1999)] I think I get more people coming up to me saying how much they love that movie than any other thing I've done. Even more than The West Wing (1999), I have to say. That movie is a cult classic, and that was a great part. I did a lot of improv in that part, and... It was a long time shooting up there for me. I hung out a lot at the Mall Of America to get that accent down, 'cause that was a hard accent to do right. And I think I got it pretty right. But Ellen Barkin was a dream to work with. Hysterical.
5
[2011, "Ginger" on Guiding Light (1952)] That was my first professional job as an actress in New York City, and I felt like I had made it! I was thrilled. It afforded me... Well, I could pay my rent on what I made! It was the first time I kind of started making a living. I could pay for my rent and for other things. I started being able to take my friends out to dinner. It was my first real salary as an actress. So that was pretty big.
6
[2011, on The West Wing (1999)] The most impactful role I've ever played. Life-changing. A life-changing role, in terms of my notoriety, if you want to call it that, opening doors to meeting the kinds of people I never would've met in a million years. Going to Washington and being invited to the White House, going to the Foreign Correspondents' Dinner. It just opened a million doors and broadened my life so much, and brought so much to me. I was so proud of being a part of a groundbreaking show like that. It was life-changing, and I'll be forever grateful for it.
7
[2011, on Lost (2004)] Most difficult acting job I've ever had to do in my life. Didn't enjoy acting outdoors, in streams and in the elements. It was very hard. I had to loop most of my performance for that. That's what I want to say about that: I had to loop for 10 hours. That was not fun. I don't like looping. And it was a weird decision, I think, in my career to do that, 'cause I... I don't know, I thought it'd be fun to be part of such a pop-culture thing. But it was quite difficult to do, and I felt a little lost myself during Lost (2004).
8
[2011, on Big Night (1996)] Oh, well, Stanley Tucci, love of my life. I did a play with him and got to know him, and he was talking about this movie he was doing, that he was getting together. And I just loved him so much that I wanted to be around him, so I said, "Stanley, let me be part of this movie. I will be craft services. I will be your script girl. Just let me be part of this in some way". And he called me up in my New York City apartment one day and said, "Allison, I want you to play the part of "Ann", the flower lady in Big Night". He just called and offered that to me. And that was one of the happiest movie sets I've ever been on. The most fun. Such difficult hours, but I was hanging out with Marc Anthony! He had a wordless part in that movie, and he and I became friends. We were so silly, hanging out together. And I loved Campbell Scott. I was just so happy to be there that I could've worked 24-hour days and not complained a bit. I was having such a great time. Really one of my favorite movies I got to do.
9
[2011, on making Mr. Sunshine (2011)] Oh my God. I mean, it was just a candy store for me. I had so much fun playing her, and I wish I could've gone on playing her, because she was really fun. I love to play those absurd women. And I got to sing with James Taylor! If nothing else, I got to do that. And Matthew Perry is pretty great to work with, too. I had a great time. I'm sorry and sad it didn't go, but, geez, I'm glad I got to do that.
10
I hate auditioning so much. I like people who go, "You know what? Allison can do this.".
11
Listen, I'm an actor. I can make anyone believe anything. I don't have to know what the hell I'm talking about.
12
[on staying sane and happy] Dogs tether you to the earth in some really good way. And exercise, of course. And martinis. And sexy high heels. That's it. Good work, a nice pair of heels, a martini, a dog and a man - not necessarily in that order. [Living Fit magazine]
13
[on her towering height] Years ago, one casting agent told me that the only roles I could play were lesbians and aliens.
