Laura has been nominated for five Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards: from 1997-2001 she was nominated for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series for her work on ER. She won the award in 1997, 1998 and 1999.
(edit)
Due to using a cane for 10 years in her portrayal of Kerry Weaver on ER, Laura Innes developed a curve on the bottom of her spine. This comes from the raising of her one hip over the years.
(edit)
While starring in ER, Laura appeared in 2 public service announcements for NBC's The More You Know. Her topics were teen pregnancy and parental involvement.
(edit) Laura was the longest lasting ER character to date, first appearing in the 1995 2nd season premier and lasting until the middle of the 13th season. (edit) When interviewed by the UK's Radio Times in 2002, Laura revealed that her least enjoyable job was working at a vet's and cleaning up after the animals. (edit)

Laura Innes: (describing directing) It gives me the biggest buzz. The crass way of putting it is to say that it gives you complete control, but beyond that it's extremely creative. You're creating something from scratch but you're not alone, you're a part of a community. When it's working well, you feel like a great parent, trying to bring out the best in everybody. But it's hard work—nothing worth while is easy. (Radio Times; March 2–8, 2002)
(edit)
Laura Innes: (on why she believes medical dramas are so popular) Viewers can put themselves in the shoes of every character. They can imagine themselves as a doctor or a patient or a relative. Every episode hinges on a life-or-death situation. The moment people walk into a hospital, their lives are often altered for ever. Medical drama is like Greek tragedy—it's a very basic story about blood and tears and heroes and humanity. All human life is there—in all its glory and all its horror. (Radio Times; March 2–8, 2002)

"Underused"Perfect With her talent it is a shame that they give more storys to the other characters. She plays her character so well and is able to give you just enough of different emotions and feeling that you want more. She is the best of all the characters! No doubt.
