Tina Fey as Liz Lemon
With 30 Rock, Fey is pulling triple duty starring, executive producing and writing the show. NBC's Emmy Award-winning show, is a workplace sitcom where the workplace exists behind-the-scenes of a live show.
Tina Fey plays Liz Lemon, the head writer and co-executive producer of a Saturday Night Live-style sketch comedy show called The Girlie Show. She mixes an insider's send-up of TV with retiring, subtle, feminism as her character leads a male writers' room for the most part. Liz Lemon is successful but insecure, funny but flawed - the type of woman we see a lot in our offices but
too little in our pop culture. Being a writer is her largest dream but it all gets complicated when Jack Donaghy becomes the new network executive.
Liz is single but pretends to be happy about it. In addition, she has a strong aversion to breaking the rules and unfairness. Liz also seems to have a weakness when it comes to maternal instincts and babies tend to have a hypnotic effect on her.
Jack describes her as a college-educated, undersexed, overscheduled woman.
While being generally portrayed as something of a geek,Liz has a sarcastic sense of humour.
Liz speaks fluent German and studied in Germany during her teens. She is a big fan of Star Wars and Hero. In a video interview, Tina Fey has stated that Liz is a fictionalized version of herself.
