Lucinda Jenney (born April 23, 1954, in Long Island City, New York) is an American actress who portrays Carolanne Adama—the estranged ex-wife of William Adama—in the Re-imagined Series third season episode "A Day in the Life".

Career

Jenney trained as a stage actress and began her career in New York City, performing on the daytime soap operas All My Children and As the World Turns before taking over the role of Judith Hastings in the Broadway production of Gemini, which ran from 1977 to 1981. She made her film debut in Impostors (1979).

In the mid-1980s she took a role in the comedy The Whoopee Boys (1986) and appeared as one of Kathleen Turner's friends in Francis Ford Coppola's Peggy Sue Got Married (1986). Three studio productions followed: she played Iris in Barry Levinson's Rain Man (1988); Judy Belushi—wife of comedian John Belushi—in the biopic Wired (1989); and a passerby in Oliver Stone's Born on the Fourth of July (1989).

In 1991, Jenney played Lena, a waitress who briefly shelters the two protagonists, in Ridley Scott's Thelma & Louise. She played Charlotte, the girlfriend of Jeff Bridges' ex-convict protagonist, in the independent drama American Heart (1992), directed by Martin Bell and also starring Edward Furlong. The performance earned her a nomination for Best Supporting Female at the 9th Independent Spirit Awards in 1994. Further credits in the decade include Joe Dante's period comedy Matinee (1993), in which she played Anne Loomis; Leaving Las Vegas (1995); Heidi Halleck, the wife of the cursed protagonist, in Tom Holland's Stephen King's Thinner (1996); Lt. Blondell in G.I. Jane (1997); and Practical Magic (1998). Scream Factory's 2024 Collector's Edition Blu-ray release of Thinner includes a new 13-minute interview with Jenney, titled "Thick And Thin", in which she discusses her character, her approach to the role, and her memories of the cast and director.

In television, Jenney appeared in four episodes of the ABC police drama High Incident (1996) as Officer Anne Bonner, whose sexual harassment complaint against a fellow officer runs through the series' first season. The series was produced by DreamWorks Television under Steven Spielberg.

Among her film credits from 2000 onward, she played Helen O'Donnell in the political drama Thirteen Days (2000), appeared in Crazy/Beautiful (2001), The Mothman Prophecies (2002), and American Violet (2008), and took a guest role as Helen Singer in season three of 24.
