Fictional Female Fridays: Jenna from "30 Rock"

61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards - Arrivals


Until last season, I thought of 30 Rock's Jenna Maroney (Jane Krakowski) as extremely self-absorbed bordering on narcissistic. However, when she tried to off a good friend in hopes that the hot paramedic would show up, she was upgraded to extremely narcissistic bordering on sociopathic.

Jenna, who plays the lead actress for the show within the show--SNL-style "The Girlie Show," expects and receives the star treatment she knows she deserves. But she's not afraid to get down and dirty and use her "secret weapon," her SEXuality (she always accents the first syllable) when necessary. Like sleeping with an extra pretending to be her boss's boss, or throwing a tantrum about the air conditioning to remind everyone else of their place well below her.

No matter what she does, or who she steps on while doing it, she does it with a huge smile, her chin up and her chest out.
