Timeline

1955

Arleen Frances Sorkin (October 14, 1955 – August 24, 2023) was an American actress, screenwriter, television presenter and comedian.

Sorkin is known for portraying Calliope Jones on the NBC daytime serial Days of Our Lives and for serving as the real-life inspiration and voice for DC Comics character Harley Quinn, co-created by her friend Paul Dini on Batman: The Animated Series.

Arleen Frances Sorkin was born on October 14, 1955 in Washington, D.C. to Irving and Joyce Sorkin.

1970

Sorkin began her career in cabaret in the late 1970s and early 1980s as a member of the comedy group The High-Heeled Women, alongside Mary Fulham, Tracey Berg, and Cassandra Danz.

One of her more prominent roles was the wacky but lovable Calliope Jones, as seen on Days of Our Lives.

1984

She played this part from 1984 to 1990 and made return visits in 1992 and 2001.

1987

From 1987 to 1989, Sorkin played Geneva, a sexy maid to yuppie couple Richard and Linda Phillips, on the Fox dramedy series Duet.

She would reprise this role on one episode of Open House, the sequel series to Duet.

1990

She was the original female co-host on America's Funniest People in 1990.

Sorkin's writing included for the Tiny Toon Adventures 1990–1992 television series, and co-writer of the story and screenplay of the 1997 Jennifer Aniston film, Picture Perfect.

Alongside providing the voice, the character of Harley Quinn was based on her, after Paul Dini (her friend since college), saw her play a jester from a dream sequence in the soap opera Days of Our Lives.

Dini then patterned Harley Quinn on Sorkin, incorporating aspects such as her mannerisms and "very snappy, wisecracking, bubbly blonde" personality.

In recording Harley Quinn's voice, Sorkin spoke in her normal Brooklyn accent while putting in a "little Yiddish sound", since Dini made the character Jewish, another aspect of the character borrowed from Sorkin.

Harley Quinn made her first appearance in the Batman: The Animated Series episode "Joker's Favor" originally intended to appear in a single episode, but reaction to the character and Sorkin's voice performance was positive, so Quinn was written into the show regularly, and appeared in further DC Animated Universe series, including The New Batman Adventures, Static Shock, Justice League, Gotham Girls, and the animated film Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker.

1992

In 1992, Sorkin was dismissed from America's Funniest People by producer Vin Di Bona.

In response, Sorkin filed a lawsuit against Di Bona, claiming she was dismissed from the show due to her race, after ABC Chairman Dan Burke had suggested to Di Bona that Sorkin be replaced by an African-American or a person of another ethnic minority.

Sorkin sought $450,000 for lost earnings, and an additional unspecified amount for harm to her professional reputation and emotional injury.

She additionally claimed that after she denounced the move as being racially motivated, Di Bona changed plans and hired new cohost Tawny Kitaen, who was also white.

1993

For the series Frasier (1993–2004), produced by her husband Christopher Lloyd, Sorkin would perform as a caller to Frasier Crane's radio show; the lines would later be dubbed over by a celebrity caller.

In the final episode of Frasier, Sorkin made an onscreen appearance as the owner of a monkey.

1995

Sorkin married television writer-producer Christopher Lloyd in 1995, with whom she had two sons, Eli and Owen.

Arleen Sorkin died in Los Angeles on August 24, 2023, at the age of 67, of complications from pneumonia and multiple sclerosis.

2004

Her father was a dentist who was a producer on the 2004 film Something the Lord Made.

Sorkin had two brothers, Arthur and Robert.

Her family is Jewish.

2006

She reprised her role on the soap for the fourth time on February 24, 2006.

2009

2010

She returned to Days for a limited run beginning on May 5, 2010.
