After graduating from Rutgers, Flockhart was a relatively obscure stage actress until she landed a part in the 1994 Broadway production of Tennessee Williams' "The Glass Menagerie".  Her portrayal of Laura brought her a Theatre World Award; the same year, she made her on-screen debut in "Quiz Show".  In 1997, Flockhart began playing Ally McBeal, who became a pop-culture icon.  Flockhart was twice nominated for a Golden Globe and twice for a Screen Actor's Guild award during the show's six-season run.  She has also been part of impressive ensemble casts in "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (1998) and "Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her" (2000).
