No one can accuse Jane Krakowski of lacking range.

On her new Netflix sitcom “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt,” the 46-year-old actress plays the age-appropriate Jacqueline Voorhees — but also the 14-year-old version of the character in flashbacks.

Krakowski is no stranger to the race for Supporting Actress – Comedy. She was nominated four times for her role as Jenna Maroney on the critically beloved “30 Rock,” but hasn’t been called to the ultimate podium yet.

After re-teaming with Tina Fey and Robert Carlock for “Kimmy Schmidt,” perhaps this is Krakowski’s year. And if not, she’s perfectly happy just being invited as part of the ensemble.
