Early life[edit]

Metcalf was born in Carbondale, Illinois, the eldest of three children. She, her brother James and her sister Linda[2] were raised in Edwardsville, Illinois, which she has said "isn't anywhere near a theatre."[3] Her father, James, was the budget director at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville at the time of his sudden death in 1984, her mother, Libby, was a librarian.[4][5] Her great-aunt was the Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Zoë Akins,[6] she is an alumna of Illinois State University, class of 1976.[7]

Metcalf, who worked as a secretary while in college, said she enjoyed seeing a pile of paper in the to-do box on one side of her desk move over to the completed side by the end of the day, she was often so focused on her work she missed lunch.[3] She originally majored in German, thinking she could work as an interpreter, and then in anthropology before accepting that majoring in theatre was her true passion, she has said that theatre work also involves interpreting and studying human behavior.[3] She has described herself as hideously shy, and yet she found the courage to audition for a few plays in high school and was "hooked", she initially did not choose acting as a career because it was unlikely to lead to regular work.[3][8]

Career[edit]

Stage[edit]

Metcalf attended Illinois State University and earned her Bachelor of Arts in Theater in 1976. While at ISU, she met fellow theater students, among them John Malkovich, Glenne Headly, Joan Allen, Terry Kinney, and Jeff Perry, the latter two of whom, along with Perry's high school classmate Gary Sinise, went on to establish Chicago's famed Steppenwolf Theatre Company. Metcalf began her professional career at Steppenwolf, of which she was a charter member.[9][10] Metcalf went to New York to appear in an Off-Broadway Steppenwolf production of Balm in Gilead at Circle Repertory in 1984[11] for which she received the 1984 Obie Award for Best Actress and a 1984–85 Theatre World Award (for best debut in a Broadway or Off-Broadway performance).[9] Metcalf was praised for her performance as Darlene, and was specifically singled out for her twenty-minute act two monologue. Chicago critic Richard Christiansen said of her performance:

There's a moment when Laurie Metcalf—who plays this poor young thing that comes to the big city and hangs out at this greasy spoon diner where the play is set—is talking about her once boyfriend who is an albino; I think it's a monologue of about five, six, seven minutes. Just to sit there and watch and hear Laurie unspool that story, it just brought tears coming down your eyes—oh, boy, it was something.[12]

I don’t remember “Bronco Billy,” but there was one summer they shot “A Wedding” in Chicago and they were looking for extras to play caterers, waiters and waitresses and the like. So all these guys from [Chicago’s famed theater company] Steppenwolf were waiters: Me and Dennis Franz, John Malkovich, Alan Wilder, Tim Evans — lots of people, and we had fun; it was a bonding summer with the Steppenwolf guys. We’d turn up at dawn every morning and just hang out and wait around in our outfits. Except for Malkovich — we were in this big old mansion in [the Chicago suburb of] Lake Forest and he would find a bedroom way out of the way and just sleep there all day, he didn’t care about being in the background of any of the shots. As a matter of fact, I don’t even know if anything I shot is in the movie.
