Nov 8, 2010 · Jill Clayburgh as Erica in “An Unmarried Woman” in 1978. 20th Century Fox, via Photofest. “As Miss Clayburgh plays this scene,” Vincent Canby wrote about “An Unmarried Woman” in 1978...
In what would be her career-defining role, Clayburgh was cast as Erica, the courageous abandoned wife who struggles with her new 'single' identity after her stockbroker husband leaves her for a younger woman. Upon release, An Unmarried Woman drew praise and was popular at the box office, briefly making Clayburgh, at 34, a star.
I wouldn't want to tell you too much about the movie's conclusion, but believe this much: It's honest and it's right, because Mazursky and Jill Clayburgh care too much about Erica to dismiss her with a conventional happy ending. Clayburgh takes chances in this movie. She's out on an emotional limb.
