Those of District C include Algiers, as well as the Vieux Carré or French Quarter neighborhood.Before Hurricane Katrina[edit]
During her second tenure on the council, Clarkson advocated a cleaner and safer French Quarter and attempted to restore the Jackson Square Artists Colony, established by the Constitution of the 1920s. A number of her constituents were enthusiastic about her efforts, whereas others, especially street performers and tarot readers, were rather apprehensive. Others were alarmed by her proposal to eliminate public space in the name of safety.
After Hurricane Katrina[edit]Clarkson ran for Councilmember at Large in 2006, but she lost in the general election, often called the runoff in Louisiana, against Arnie Fielkow, another Democrat and former Executive Vice President of the National Football League\'s New Orleans Saints. Mayor Ray Nagin won re-election only after facing a much tougher challenge than expected before the hurricane, and half of the council members who ran again were defeated.
The resignation of Councilmember at Large Oliver Thomas in 2007 over bribery charges enabled Clarkson to return on New Orleans City Council. She was elected to her first term as Councilmember-at-Large in a special election in November 2007, defeating Cynthia Willard-Lewis.[3]
Clarkson in 2008 and 2009 became particularly outspoken in defending likeminded councilwoman Stacy Head in a feud with city sanitation director Veronica White. Clarkson called for White\'s dismissal, but Nagin defended White.[4]
Clarkson was re-elected as Councilmember at Large in February 2010 (again narrowly defeating Cynthia Willard-Lewis),[5] and was named president of the council in May 2011.[6]
Election history[edit]Although a lifelong Democrat, Clarkson has been able to boast support from Republican organizations including the Parish Executive Committee of the Orleans Parish Republican Party.[7] In 2008 she broke party ranks and supported Republican challenger Anh \"Joseph\" Cao in his longshot but successful offer to unseat Democratic incumbent William J. Jefferson from Louisiana\'s 2nd congressional district seat.[8] Likeminded fellow Democratic Councilwoman Stacy Head found herself soon facing a recall petition. Clarkson, however, was not subjected to a recall effort; as councilwoman-at-large she represents a broader constituency, and she is more ingrained into the New Orleans political scene.[9] In May 2009, as the New Orleans e-mail controversies intensified, Clarkson began publishing thousands of her e-mail messages online:
Anything we don\'t want the public to see, we shouldn\'t put in an e-mail. . . . Just let us do it responsibly so private information about our constituents doesn\'t get out there.[10] with her daughter in New OrleansCouncilmember, District C, 1994

Clarkson was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, the daughter of Jacquelyn (née Brechtel), a local New Orleans politician and councilwoman, and Arthur, a school administrator who worked at the Department of Medicine of Louisiana State University.[1][2] Clarkson\'s great-grandfather was from Barcelona, Spain,[3] and her great-grandmother was from Lithuania.[citation needed]
Clarkson studied drama at Fordham University, where she graduated summa cum laude, and earned her MFA at the Yale School of Drama[4] before making her film debut in The Untouchables in 1987.
Career[edit]Clarkson\'s Broadway theatre credits include The House of Blue Leaves and Eastern Standard.
Clarkson had supporting roles in a series of high-profile films in her early career. Her first movie role, at age 27, was as the wife of Eliot Ness (Kevin Costner) in The Untouchables. She was also featured in The Dead Pool, Rocket Gibraltar and Everybody\'s All-American. She starred in the short-run television series Davis Rules, and in the miniseries Alex Haley\'s Queen. More often a character actor than a leading woman, she has also appeared in such major films as The Green Mile (1999), Far from Heaven (2002), Good Night, and Good Luck (2005) and Lars and the Real Girl (2007). Her breakthrough role was in High Art (1998) where her portrayal of Greta, a German, drug-addicted lesbian former model, gained rave reviews. She has said about acting, \"I’m deeply invested in everything I do, and it’s a good thing, because acting is the only thing I know how to do.\"[5]
Clarkson at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival premiere of Whatever WorksIn 2002, she originated her role as Sarah O\'Connor (a.k.a. \"Aunt Sarah\") in HBO\'s Six Feet Under. She went on to win the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Drama Series that year for her performance, she repeated for the same role in 2006.
In 2003, she gained critical acclaim and a Special Jury Prize for her work in four films that debuted at the Sundance Film Festival: All the Real Girls, The Baroness and the Pig, The Station Agent and Pieces of April.[6][7] Later in the year, she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for Pieces of April, in which she plays an acerbic mother dying of cancer.
In 2006, she portrayed Sadie Burke, in All the King\'s Men, set in her native New Orleans. In 2008, she had supporting roles in Elegy, as a womanizer\'s put-upon girlfriend, and Woody Allen\'s Vicky Cristina Barcelona as an unhappily married housewife.
In the summer of 2008 producer Gerald Peary approached Clarkson to ask if she would do the voice-over for the documentary film For the Love of Movies: The Story of American Film Criticism. Says Peary, \"She agreed to do the narration ... And she was so nice, and so cooperative, and so prepared, and so intelligent. And one of the key reasons she wanted to do the movie was that she regularly reads criticism, and has a genuine respect for the critic profession.[8]
Clarkson returned to New Orleans for the January 17, 2009, reopening of the Mahalia Jackson Theatre for the Performing Arts. She served as Master of Ceremonies for a gala featuring Plácido Domingo in concert with the New Orleans Opera, conducted by Robert Lyall.[9] She also made a cameo appearance in the Saturday Night Live Digital Short \"Motherlover\" on May 9, 2009. The video featured Andy Samberg, Justin Timberlake, and Susan Sarandon. She reprised the role on May 21, 2011 in the Digital Short \"3-Way (The Golden Rule)\". In 2010, she starred in Martin Scorsese\'s Shutter Island.[10] Clarkson was honored by the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival when she received one of the 2010 Volta awards for achievements in her career.[11]
In the fourth season of the NBC mockumentary Parks and Recreation, Clarkson began portraying the recurring role of Tammy One, Parks Department head Ron Swanson\'s first wife.[12]
Personal life[edit]In response to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, Clarkson published a post for Natural Resources Defense Council\'s magazine OnEarth. She also released a public service announcement talking about her experiences growing up in New Orleans.
