<Julianna Margulies says she won't be back at 'ER'
By FRAZIER MOORE – 16 hours ago
NEW YORK (AP) — The final "ER" season is bringing back some of its
original stars for guest shots, but Julianna Margulies won't be among
them. She was invited, she says, but declined.
Margulies, who played nurse Carol Hathaway on the NBC hospital drama
from its 1994 premiere, exited after six seasons. Her character left
Chicago's County General for Seattle, settling down with Dr. Doug
Ross, who had been played by George Clooney.
"I feel like I left Carol Hathaway in the best scenario possible,"
Margulies said Saturday, laying to rest speculation about her return.
"I can't imagine making it any better than that."
In the farewell lap of its 15-season run, "ER" last week featured
Anthony Edwards reprising his role of Dr. Mark Greene. NBC has
announced upcoming appearances by fellow alums Noah Wyle and Eriq La
Salle, who will also direct an episode.
Still a mystery is whether Clooney, yet another charter cast-member,
will be back. He left in 1999.
Margulies, 42, departed from the Los Angeles-based series in 2000
despite a reported offer of $27 million to stay for three more
seasons. She expressed a wish to return home to New York and pursue
other projects.
She then, she has appeared in a number of films and TV shows,
including a memorable guest role as a real estate agent with a heroin
habit on "The Sopranos." Last spring she starred in the short-lived
Fox legal drama "Canterbury's Law."
Margulies lives in Manhattan with attorney husband Keith Lieberthal
and their son Kieran, who was born in January.
She recently finished shooting "City Island," a comedy that also stars
Andy Garcia, Alan Arkin and Emily Mortimer. >
Maybe...so if she is not coming back, there is no reason George
Clooney should come back.
