Jane Curtin
Jane Curtin has spent so much of her career playing extraterrestrials (and the earthlings who love them), that I was tempted to ask her if she’d like to spend her retreat on another planet. Her portrayal of Prymaat, matriarch of the Conehead family, was one of the highlights of her 5 year stint on Saturday Night Live, and later became a feature film; after another 5 years as the very human divorcee Allie Lowell on Kate and Allie, she returned to alien society as Dr. Mary Albright, girlfriend of the “unusual” Dick Solomon, on Third Rock from the Sun. She even played an insect in the animated film Antz. Let’s find out what otherworldly items she’s got in her Survival Kit.
Her List:
1. My family -- plus two dogs and 1 cat
2. the original "Joy of Cooking"
3. my Concept II Ergometer (rowing machine)
4. videotape of "High School Hellcats"
5. Subscription to the New York Times, L.A. Times, Washington Post and the
local paper
6. Hotline number to a book store
7. comfy slippers
8. Neosporin
