Burton has said of these roles that she usually plays “the sweet wife, or the sweet dead wife.”
Burton has been perhaps most prolific in her work on television. She made many television appearances in the late 1980s and 1990s on such episodic shows as Spenser: For Hire, All My Children, and Brooklyn Bridge. About playing the mother, in her late thirties, of David Schwimmer’s character in the short-lived 1994 FOX sitcom, Monty, she said, “you don’t really start playing moms in Hollywood until you’re in your 40s, and usually the kids are almost your age! When I played Schwimmer’s mother, I was 37 and he was, I think, 28. . . that happens a lot in TV and film; you really do end up being close in age to your child, which is nonsensical.” In 1996, Burton won a Daytime Emmy award for her performance as a mother dying of breast cancer in the ABC Afterschool Special, ‘Notes For My Daughter’. More recently, she made guest appearances as recurring characters on Law & Order, The Practice, The West Wing, Judging Amy and Medium. She also appeared on the HBO miniseries Empire Falls.
Burton’s first notable role on Broadway was in a 1982 production of the Noël Coward play Present Laughter directed by George C. Scott. The following year, she appeared in the Broadway production of Doonesbury, playing J.J. Burton also appeared as Alice in Eva Le Gallienne’s Alice in Wonderland on Broadway, produced by The Mirror Theater Ltd’s Sabra Jones. Several key roles followed, including roles in Wendy Wasserstein’s An American Daughter and Martin McDonagh’s The Beauty Queen of Leenane.
