I remember going to jury duty and some of the people who were waiting to see if they were picked on a jury said, ‘Well, why are you here? You’re a lawyer!’ I had to explain, ‘I’m just an actor but happy to give you advice,’ and then they were like, ‘Well I have a dispute with my neighbor’ and I’d think, ‘That’s really silly that they believe I’m a lawyer, even though I sort of believe I am too!’ as quoted by Jenny Cooney in: https://goldenglobes.com/articles/camryn-manheim-law-order-interview/ Camryn Manheim – “Law & Order” Interview September 27, 2022 goldenglobes.com External links Category:1961 births Category:Living people Category:Actresses from New Jersey Category:Human rights activists Category:Jewish American actresses Category:Memoirists from the United States Category:Women authors from the United States Category:Women born in the 1960s Category:Women activists from the United States
