PLAYBILL ON-LINE'S BRIEF ENCOUNTER with Jessica Hecht
She is a rarity on the American stage these days: a young actress who combines professional agility with a quirky individual style that feels as personal and specific as handwriting." That's only part of a bon-bon New York Times scribe Ben Brantley gave Jessica Hecht on her opening in Lobster Alice at Playwrights Horizons in early January. In his review, Brantley evoked such good-company comparisons as Sandy Dennis, Barbara Harris and Swoosie Kurtz -- but don't expect Hecht to know about any of this until the day Kira Obolensky's play closes. Like many performers, Hecht shies away from reading reviews, fearing she'll be unduly influenced by them. What the actress, whose recent New York stage credits include The Last Night of Ballyhoo, Plunge and Stop Kiss, and whose TV resume includes the recurring role of Susan on "Friends" and a spot on the upcoming series "The Beat," concentrates on instead is her work, her peace of mind, her marriage, and her five-month old baby girl, Stella Rose. Her career may be just off the launching pad, but whatever highs and lows lie ahead, she already appears able to put it all into perspective.
