Trivia
ADD TRIVIA
- She appeared in a television commercial for Atari 2600 Solar Fox video game in the 1980s. She was also in the TV ad for Clairol Herbal Essence Shampoo.

- For the TV series 30 Rock, Krakowski was called in as a last-minute replacement for Rachel Dratch for the character Jenna Maroney. The role was recast since it was defined as a "much blonder, more conventionally bimbonic part" and the casters felt Jane was more apt for the role.
  Edit Share Hide
- Among the albums she did recordings for are Lost in Boston IV, Sondheim at the Movies, Hudson River Blues, and The Burt Bacharach Album. In 2002, she also sang "You" in Jim Brickman's album Love Songs & Lullabies.

ADD QUOTES
- Jane: (upon learning about her first-ever Emmy nomination for her work on "30 Rock") My first reaction, because I couldn't find the list online, I was like, `No, no, send me the list. I do not believe this is real. You have to prove it to me by seeing it in writing.
  Edit Share Hide
- Jane: (on the people she admired while growing up) So many people. I would say I was most enamored of all the theater performers that I saw when I was growing up. I never expected that I could do what they did. When I finally got in a Broadway show, I couldn't believe I was one of them.

- Jane: (on what she would want to have in a tree house) My ipod, a fleece, and a boyfriend, but those could be options. If I don't have a boyfriend, a boyfriend.
