Acting Was Always in My Blood
When Christine Baranski talks about her passion for acting, she’s not just throwing words around. “It just came to me early on,” she shares candidly at 67. Growing up surrounded by the arts, her grandparents were Polish actors in Buffalo, performing at the Polish-American theater. “I was immersed in this world of flamboyant personalities, music, and expression from a very young age. It felt like the most magical playground,” she reminisces. “And even now, all these years later, I still feel the same excitement and joy every time I step onto a stage or in front of a camera.”

Dancing Through Life: Staying Fit and Fabulous
Christine knows that being a performer means taking care of her body. “Staying healthy is a priority for me,” she explains. “I’m all about Pilates, power walking, yoga, and even dancing in my living room whenever I can. It’s not just about staying fit—it’s about keeping my spirit alive and well.” And she’s not stopping anytime soon. “I’d love to revisit my ballroom and Afro-Cuban dancing roots. If I make it to my 90s, that’s one of the first things I plan to do!”
If I Could Be Anyone, It’d Be Keith Richards
When asked about her dream alter ego, Christine doesn’t hesitate. “Oh, absolutely! There’s nothing quite like being a rock star. I’d love to be Keith Richards—but with a twist. I’d want to be the pH-balanced version of him, minus all the wear and tear and toxicity, of course!” This mom-of-two has a playful sense of humor and isn’t afraid to dream big. “Imagine the fun I’d have as a rock star,” she chuckles.
Age Is Just a Number: Thriving in Her 60s
Christine’s career has taken some incredible turns, especially in her 60s. After years of playing supporting roles on shows like Cybill, The Big Bang Theory, and The Good Wife, she finally landed the top spot as the unstoppable power-attorney Diane Lockhart on CBS’ hit spinoff The Good Fight. “These are truly the best years of my career,” she beams. “I’ve finally stepped into the spotlight as a leading lady, and it feels amazing.”
Grandma Cool: Christine’s Family Life
Christine isn’t just a star on screen—she’s also a proud grandma. “I have three wonderful grandsons. The youngest is just 8 months old and is named after my late husband, Matthew [Cowles], who passed away in 2014,” she gushes. “I recently took them to their very first hockey game—it was such a blast! I absolutely love being the babysitter par excellence.”
