Stockard Channing is an American actress who was born Susan Antonia Williams Stockard on February 13, 1944, in Manhattan. She studied history and literature at Radcliffe College of Harvard University, graduated summa cum laude in 1965, and trained at HB Studio in New York. She started out with the Theatre Company of Boston, made her Broadway debut in 1971 in Two Gentlemen of Verona, and landed her first leading television role in the 1973 movie The Girl Most Likely To.

After co-starring with Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson in The Fortune in 1975, she was cast at 33 as Betty Rizzo in Grease, which was released in 1978.

How Stockard Channing makes her money

Film work built the base of her career. Grease was a huge success and won her a People's Choice Award, and later films such as Heartburn, Six Degrees of Separation, To Wong Foo, Up Close and Personal, Practical Magic and Anything Else kept her in demand in Hollywood.

Network television brought long-running paychecks. Seven seasons as Abbey Bartlet on The West Wing and a recurring role as Veronica Loy on The Good Wife from 2012 to 2016 gave her steady series income over many years.

Television movies added to that, including Silent Victory: The Kitty O'Neil Story, The Matthew Shepard Story and Jack, which won her a Daytime Emmy in 2005.

The stage has been a constant throughout. From her Broadway debut in 1971 to her Tony-winning turn in 1985 and the original Six Degrees of Separation, theater has kept her working between screen jobs and helped earn her a reputation as one of the most respected actresses of her generation.
