She has served on the boards of Audubon, Wildlife Conservation Society, American Bird Conservancy, and American Birding Association, and on the advisory boards of BirdLife International, Panthera, and Centre ValBio, among others. She has also served as a New York State Parks commissioner. She is active as a volunteer in the Audubon Christmas Bird Count and the North American Breeding Bird Survey and as a Nova Scotia Piping Plover guardian.

Boreal forest conservation and supporting Indigenous leadership in conservation worldwide are two of her strong interests. From 1993 to 1997, Ms. Alexander served as chair of the National Endowment for the Arts, during which time she staunchly defended the agency’s mission, its budget, and its grantees against a fiscal onslaught and moral panic instigated by Congress. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61296508d462f46b81500a0c/1630107072244-RVP564C70VSI37NGAY6S/Jane+Alexander About - As a teenager, Ms. Alexander was drawn to theater companies like the Poet’s Theater in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where she admired Olympia Dukakis on stage, and the many house productions put on at Harvard University. She began acting in community theater, in school productions, and in summer stock from the age of 15, knowing that this was the world she wanted to make her life’s work. Of her early days in New York, she writes, “I was lucky because shortly after I arrived in New York City in 1961, I was cast in an Off-off-Broadway production of Love for Love with a charismatic young Frank Langella as the lead, Valentine. My first Off-Broadway play soon followed. I stood by for the role of Lina Szczepanowska in George Bernard Shaw’s witty treatise on the “modern woman,” Misalliance, at the Sheridan Square Playhouse with the lovely Frances Sternhagen as Hypatia. Lina was a tour-de-force character whom I got to play a number of times. She has one of the longest monologues Shaw ever wrote for a woman, and here I was performing it at the tender age of 22. The hardest part was picking up one of the hefty male characters afterward and exiting with him over my shoulder every night in a fireman’s carry. Still, I must have acquitted myself well enough because I was offered work off Broadway, on Broadway and in regional theaters from then on.” https://www.janealexanderwildlifechamp.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-11-05 https://www.janealexanderwildlifechamp.com/home daily 1.0 2021-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61296508d462f46b81500a0c/1630105367112-KT98LVBMP183PRZSCAWC/Jane-Alexander-by-Joan-Marcus.jpg Jane Alexander: Official Website of Actress, Author, and Wildlife Champion Jane Alexander - Jane Alexander is a Tony and Emmy Award-winning and four-time Academy Award-nominated actress.

Jane Alexander by Joan Marcus https://www.janealexanderwildlifechamp.com/wild-things-wild-places daily 0.75 2021-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61296508d462f46b81500a0c/1630162819726-F7RK4RB93KL6HSXKVY2J/Cover-WildThings.jpg Wild Things, Wild Places - A moving, inspiring, personal look at the vastly changing world of wildlife on planet earth as a result of human incursion, and the crucial work of animal and bird preservation across the globe being done by scientists, field biologists, zoologists, environmentalists, and conservationists. From a longtime, much-admired activist, impassioned wildlife proponent and conservationist, former chairperson of the National Endowment for the Arts, four time Academy Award nominee, and Tony Award and two-time Emmy Award-winning actress. In Wild Things, Wild Places, Jane Alexander movingly, with a clear eye and a knowing, keen grasp of the issues and on what is being done in conservation and the worlds of science to help the planet’s most endangered species to stay alive and thrive, writes of her steady and fervent immersion into the worlds of wildlife conservation, of her coming to know the scientists throughout the world–to her, the prophets in the wilderness–who are steeped in this work, of her travels with them–and on her own–to the most remote and forbidding areas of the world as they try to save many species, including ourselves.

When, during her first visit to the Hill, Senator Strom Thurmond barked at her, "You gonna fund pornography?" she knew it would be a rough ride. Nothing had quite prepared her for the role of madame chairman. Her tenure coincided with the ascent of the infamous 104th Congress, presided over by Speaker Newt Gingrich, and its campaign to eliminate the Endowment completely. In Command Performance, Alexander brings a Washington outsider's perspective and an actor's eye for the telling human detail to an anecdote-filled story of the art of politics and the politics of art. And at the start of a new administration in Washington, she reminds us why we need art and why government should be in the business of supporting it. Command Performance was named a Notable Book by The New York Times.
