EXCLUSIVE: CAA has signed Jennifer Jason Leigh. The award-winning actress appeared most recently on ABC’s Revenge in a recurring role as Kara Clarke-Murphy, Emily Thorne’s mother. In January she premiered two films at Sundance: The Beat poet pic Kill Your Darlings, acquired by Sony Pictures Classics, and James Ponsoldt’s The Spectacular Now, which was snapped up by A24. Leigh was previously repped at UTA. She is managed by Greg Clark at Untitled Entertainment and is also repped by David Weber and Harris Hartman of Sloane Offer Weber & Dern, LLP.


She’s always been someone who didn’t do it for me.
I hear she just switched to Sanka, so have a heart.
for me, it was and is the opposite. i always look forward to seeing her.
Then you must not have seen many of her films. She took on a lot of really gutsy parts in her career, characters who had to work hard for an audience’s affection. And she did it, over and over again. I think she’s outstanding.
They will chew her up and spit her out! Next……
Jennifer Jason Leigh is such a unique actress-especially in her age range. Hope they find something cool and interesting for her.
She’s such a good actress, hopefully they could raise her career in Laura Linney territory.
Who are the jerks writing these comments?
John Hawkes is 52. You would never write about him this way.
She’s an amazing talent with incredible range. Not sure how UTA blew this one.
She will languish at CAA. This is exactly the kind of artist that is easily ignored there. A shame.
