Christine Lahti (born April 4, 1950) is an American actress. She moved to New York City in the 1970s to work as a waitress. She started off working in commercials, and her breakthrough movie was ...And Justice for All (1979) with Al Pacino. After starring in a few blockbuster hits in the 1970s and early 1980s, Lahti has primarily chosen to be in movies she wants to act in - rather than take blockbuster roles, and she is adamant about spending time with her three children. Lahti received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress for Swing Shift in 1984, and won an Academy Award for Best Short Film, Live Action for Lieberman in Love (1995), which she starred in and directed. She has won one Emmy and two Golden Globes for her role in Chicago Hope. Lahti is married to TV director Thomas Schlamme. She mainly has acted in independent films or TV series in the past decade, and she is active in political causes.
