Born in New York City, Laura Linney’s profound appreciation for creative expression knows no bounds. In 1990, she graduated from the Juilliard School, furthering her lifelong education in performance arts. Linney continued her academic journey by earning an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree from Juilliard in 2009. Her connection to Juilliard remains strong, as she now serves on the board of the institution.
Over the years, Linney has graced the stages and screens of film, television, and theater, consistently taking on prominent roles. Notable Broadway productions include “The Crucible,” “Time Stands Still,” “Sight Unseen,” “Six Degrees of Separation,” among others. Her recent Broadway play has earned her a well-deserved nomination for a Drama League Distinguished Performance.
For her many memorable roles in television, theater and film, Laura Linney has won two Golden Globes and four Emmy Awards. To date, she has been nominated three times for the Academy Award, five times for the Tony Award, once for a BAFTA Award, and eight times for the Golden Globe Award. She holds two honorary Doctorates from her alma maters, Brown University and The Juilliard School.
Linney has also been honored for her work in cancer advocacy. Having lost family to cancer, she understands the unique physical and emotional damage inflicted on victims and families. She aims to help them find ways to cope, grow, and rebuild so that each one can truly win his or her own fight against cancer.
It is with great pleasure that we welcome Laura Linney back to the Be Beautiful Be Yourself Fashion Show, celebrating her remarkable journey in the arts and her advocacy efforts.
