In 2022, Marcia Gay Harden received her third career Emmy nomination for appearing in a second season episode of “The Morning Show.” Since her first bid had come 15 years earlier for her work on “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” she qualified for entry into the club of Best Drama Guest Actress nominees for multiple series. Scroll through our photo gallery to learn who else is in this exclusive group.
Of the 28 women on this list, nine took the gold for at least one of their nominated performances. The one who triumphed most recently was Cherry Jones, whose consecutive victories for “The Handmaid’s Tale” (2019) and “Succession” (2020) made her the category’s fourth two-show winner, after Shirley Knight (“Thirtysomething”; “NYPD Blue”), Alfre Woodard (“L.A. Law”; “The Practice”), and Amanda Plummer (“The Outer Limits”; “Law & Order: SVU”).
Although the Best Drama Guest Actress award has only been bestowed on an annual basis since 1993, qualifying contenders from previous years (as early as 1975) are factored in here. The specific program represented by each performer’s photo is indicated in italics.
