actress known for her work in theater, television, and cinema. She was

Julia Louise (née Dorr; 1910â€"1975), an actress and theatrical

production secretary for producer David Merrick, and Albert Henry

"Bill" Clayburgh, a manufacturing executive. Her paternal grandmother

was concert and opera singer Alma Lachenbruch Clayburgh.Her mother was

Protestant and her father was Jewish, though she reportedly never

talked about her religious background and was raised in no faith.

Clayburgh never got along with her parents and began therapy at an

early age: "I was very rebellious as a teenager, aside from having an

unhappy, neurotic childhood. But I just can't go into it. I think I

had a lot of energy and undirected need so I just kind of rebelled in

a general fashion. I got myself in terrible, very personal trouble.

Therapy has helped me a lot in my life."
