American actress Maura Tierney was in her mid-30s when she first started playing the role of Dr. Abby — the once modest nurse who evolves into a confident doctor — on the medical drama series “ER” back in 1999.
Tierney shared the screen with Noah Wyle as the ambitious medical student, John Carter, Laura Innes as well-accomplished doctor Kerry Weaver and throwin’ it back to his big break … George Clooney as the devoted pediatrics physician, Doug Ross.
Maura also played the role of Lisa Miller on the sitcom “News Radio” in the late ’90s.
