14 She is the daughter of Barbara (Benoit), a teacher, and Edward Krajkowski, a chemical engineer. Her father's family is Polish, as was her maternal grandmother's (Jane's maternal grandfather was of half French-Canadian and half Scottish ancestry). Jane dropped the "j" from the family last name when she began working as an actress, as people kept trying to pronounce the letter even though it is considered silent by her. However, it is not silent in the Polish language from which the name Krajkowski originates. 'J' in Polish is always pronounced like 'y' in English words, so in Polish the name spelled Krajkowski would be pronounced the same as English speaking people would pronounce the name spelled Kraykovski (in Polish 'w' is pronounced like 'v', hence the change of w to v).
15 Attended Rutgers University Mason Gross School of the Arts where she first met her future Ally McBeal (1997) co-star Calista Flockhart.
16 Was encouraged to perform by her father, an engineer, and her mother, a teacher.
17 She learned how to perform on skates for her appearance in the rollerskating musical "Starlight Express" when she was a teenager. She kept the practice up and Tina Fey, who knew about it, wrote some skating scenes in for Jane in an episode of 30 Rock (2006).
18 Learned to skate for the Broadway musical, "Starlight Express". She stills skates.
19 Daughter of a teacher mother and an engineer father. They were both active in the New Jersey theater.
20 Won the 2006 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical (as Miss Adelaide in "Guys and Dolls").
21 The first time she performed her famous anti-gravity stunt in "Nine: The Musical", was in front of an audience during the show's first preview performance.
22 Won Broadway's 2003 Tony Award as Best Actress (Featured Role - Musical) for playing Carla in the revival "Nine: The Musical". She had previously been nominated in the same category in 1990 for "Grand Hotel, the Musical".
23 Jane was the original choice for Judy in Sleepaway Camp (1983), but turned it down because her death was too violent.
2 I was one of those people who watched and videotaped the Tonys every year and kept a highlight reel every year. I saw every Broadway show as a kid. Basically, I would sit there in the audience and go, "I wish I could do that one day." The fact that I even get in Broadway shows is, to me, still amazing, but then to win a Tony was just incredible.
3 On paper, "Once Upon a Mattress" looked good. Sarah Jessica Parker and the director and the designers -- everyone involved was reputable and had had huge successes in the past. What's odd to me is that I could tell from the first day of rehearsal that it was not going to be right; I hoped it would find its way, but I don't think it ever really did.
4 I've never felt anything so exciting as when this unanimous gasp came from the audience. That's why I love doing live theater more than anything: You get an immediate reaction, whether it's good or bad.
