15 Lies Women Are Told at Work

What holds women back at work? Bonnie Hammer, who leads a masterclass for female executives, is here to tell the uncompromising truth. Debunking common narratives and bad advice, rejecting tired truisms that women are told about how to act in the workplace, her new book is filled with powerful truths about the contemporary workplace and practical advice to apply in your own life. Hear her and Margulies in a myth-busting masterclass on taking the reins in work and life, living up to your full potential, setting yourself up for success, and more.

Julianna Margulies

As an Emmy, Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild award winner, Julianna Margulies has achieved success in television, theatre, and film.

Margulies can currently be seen starring in the third season of the Apple TV+ flagship series The Morning Show opposite Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon as Laura Peterson, an anchor at UBA News. Met with critical praise, the show has earned Screen Actors Guild, Golden Globe, and Critics Choice award nominations in the category of “Best Drama Series.”

Recently, Margulies signed on as executive producer of the Jordan Matthew Horowitz’s Oscar-qualified documentary short Jack and Sam. Mixing documentary, archival, and breathtaking animation, the film tells the tale of two Holocaust survivors miraculously reuniting after 80 years. Now in their late 90s, they are spending the precious time they have left rekindling their friendship and educating others about the dangers of hatred. The heartwarming story explores the enduring power of connection and the resilience of the human spirit in the face of unimaginable adversity.

In 2021, Margulies added author to her list of credits with the release of her autobiography Sunshine Girl: An Unexpected Life. The book tells the story of her unconventional childhood and how it shaped some of the crucial decisions she made as an adult. The title is a nod to the childhood nickname given to her by her mother.

Margulies has also starred in Showtime’s Billions as Catherine Brant, an Ivy League sociology professor and bestselling author. She joined Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti for the series’ fifth season which premiered in May 2020.

Previously, Margulies starred in National Geographic’s limited series The Hot Zone, based on the bestselling book written by Richard Preston. The critically acclaimed series was National Geographic’s highest rated scripted television series in the network’s history. In 2018, Margulies co-starred in the AMC limited series Dietland, based on the book written by Sarai Walker and created for television by Marti Noxon.

Margulies starred and produced the CBS hit show The Good Wife as Alicia Florrick, a role that won her two Emmy Awards, as well as a Golden Globe, two Screen Actors Guild Awards and a Critics Choice Award. The series ran for seven seasons.

Other TV credits include her multi-episode guest role in HBO’s The Sopranos, The Grid, a mini-series from TNT and the BBC (Golden Globe nomination), and TNT’s original mini-series The Mists of Avalon (Golden Globe nomination), opposite Anjelica Huston and Joan Allen. Margulies was also one of the original members of the groundbreaking show ER, for which she received both an Emmy Award and six SAG Awards as nurse Carol Hathaway.

No stranger to film, Margulies has also appeared in several silver screen gems. In 2009, she starred in City Island, opposite Andy Garcia which won the Audience Award at the Tribeca Film Festival.

Other film credits include the dark comedy The Darwin Awards, Snakes on a Plane opposite Samuel L. Jackson; Slingshot, Ghost Ship opposite Gabriel Byrne, The Upside opposite Bryan Cranston and Three Christs opposite Richard Gere. She can also be seen in Bruce Beresford’s Evelyn opposite Pierce Brosnan, Paradise Road (also Bruce Beresford), What’s Cooking, an ensemble drama directed by Gurinder Chadha, Richard Linklater’s The Newton Boys, Boaz Yakin’s A Price Above Rubies, Traveller, and The Man From Elysian Fields, opposite Andy Garcia and Mick Jagger.

On stage, Margulies made her Broadway debut in 2006 starring in Festen directed by Rufus Norris. Margulies completed a successful run in Jon Robin Baitz’s Ten Unknowns at Lincoln Center for which she won the Lucille Lortel Award. Other theater credits include: The Vagina Monologues, both Off-Broadway and the Los Angeles premiere, and Intrigue with Faye Off-Broadway.

She has personally been involved in Project ALS since its inception and Erin’s Law. She is a long-standing board member of the New York City-based theater company MCC, a company dedicated to giving the American playwright a voice and a platform. Margulies also spearheads the Holocaust Educator School Partnership (HESP) in partnership with the Museum of Jewish History in New York City. HESP is a paid internship program for undergraduate and graduate students currently studying in the New York metropolitan area. Interns are trained on how to teach the history of the Holocaust and then work with local public middle and high school students to understand this history.

Margulies resides in New York City with her husband and son.
