Blair Brown (born 23 April 1946 in Washington, District of Columbia) is an acclaimed stage actress who has also reached a broader audience with her television and film work, particularly, in the 1980s. More recently, since 1993, Ms. Brown has been reaching a new and growing audience as an audiobook narrator. Ms. Brown has at least 15 audiobook productions to her credit.

Blair's first feature film role was in the Oscar-winning 1973 film "The Paper Chase"; her first major starring role was in "The Choirboys" in 1977. Among her other film credits were Altered States (opposite William Hurt), "One Trick Pony", the film "Stealing Home" (opposite Mark Harmon) and "A Flash Of Green" (1984). Her arguably highest profile film role to date was the romantic lead opposite John Belushi in Continental Divide for which she received her first Golden Globe Award nomination, in the category of Best Motion Picture Actress in a Comedy/Musical.

Actress appeared in few television movies and miniseries, primarily during the 1980s. A high-profile role as Jacqueline Kennedy in the 1983 TV miniseries Kennedy earned her a second Golden Globe nomination, for Best Actress in a Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for Television, as well as a BAFTA nomination. Blair also appeared in few other programs about the Kennedys, including the 1996 miniseries "A Season in Purgatory", which was a thinly veiled portrait of the family, as well as an appearance as Anna Roosevelt in a telefilm about Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Eleanor Roosevelt.

This sweet girl is perhaps best known for her five-year run (1987-1991) on the Emmy Award-nominated comedy-drama series "The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd". She played the title role, and she, and the show, earned a small but dedicated following. She received five consecutive Emmy Award nominations for each season, in the category of Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, but never won. The show spent two years on NBC, then moved to the Lifetime cable channel for the remainder of its run.

This baby has been involved with theater since the beginning of her career. Among her earlier roles was a run as Lucy Brown in the 1976 production of Brecht & Weill's "The Threepenny Opera", produced by Joe Papp and directed by Richard Foreman. She left the production for film work, but after being away from the production for eight months, Ellen Greene, who was playing the part of Jenny, fell ill. Brown astounded the stage manager of the production by coming in and, with one hour of rehearsal, put on a "brilliant" performance as Jenny. Her first major appearance on the Broadway came in 1989, in the play "Secret Rapture", written by David Hare.

Once "Molly Dodd" concluded, Blair became a prolific Broadway actress, appearing in a number of roles. Among them were roles in Tom Stoppard's Arcadia at "Lincoln Center", two separate runs as Frau Schneider in the revival of Cabaret, and The Comedy of Errors for the New York Shakespeare Festival. She won a Tony Award in the category of Best Featured Actress in a Play, in 2000, for her role in the play Copenhagen. She played the role of the wife of physicist Niels Bohr. Brown played the lead role in "The Clean House", by playwright Sarah Ruhl in 2006 at "Lincoln Center".
