Summary: Patti Lupone filmed a guest appearance on "30 Rock" while she was starring on Broadway as Rose in "Gypsy" (a performance for which she won her second Tony Award). Here’s the summary for Lupone’s episode: Liz (Tina Fey) befriends a pregnant teenaged donut shop employee, in an attempt to adopt her baby. Back on set, Jenna (Jane Krakowski) vies for more attention from the ‘TGS’ staff as her birthday approaches, but Kenneth's (Jack McBrayer) plan to combine her party with one for Tracy (Tracy Morgan) derails her efforts. Meanwhile, Jack (Alec Baldwin) agrees to go on a guys' night out to keep his mind off of his absent girlfriend, and bonds with Frank (Judah Friedlander) over their daddy issues. Although best known for her commanding presence on the Broadway stage—and particularly in musicals—Lupone is no stranger to film or television. She has appeared in movies such as City By The Sea, David Mamet's Heist, State and Main; Just Looking, Summer of Sam, The 24 Hour Woman, Family Prayers, Driving Miss Daisy and Witness. And her surprising TV appearances include: “Ugly Betty,” “Will & Grace” (as herself), “Oz”; “Frasier” (1998 Emmy nomination); “Law & Order”; and AMC's “Remember WENN.” Get really up-to-date on Patti Lupone online: www.pattilupone.net.
