Judy Graubart is an American actress born in Fort Worth, Texas. She is best remembered for being a regular cast member on the revolutionary childrens show from the 1970's, The Electric Company. She, like the other cast members (Morgan Freeman, Rita Moreno and Bill Cosby among others), played hundreds of characters on the show during its seven-year run (1971-1977), Jennifer Of The Jungle being a standout. Graubart had also been a regular on a little known show called Comedy Tonight, along with Peter Boyle, Robert Klein and Madeline Kahn (all of whom were just breaking through in their careers) which aired during the summer of 1970 on CBS and was largely a poor imitation of Laugh-In, which was the smash hit comedy variety show during that time.

After her run with The Electric Company she appeared in little known films during the early 1980's, Marshall Brickman's Simon and Author, Author which starred Al Pacino.

She appeared (as did many other of the original cast members of The Electric Company) in interviews and episode introductions on the 2nd volume of The Best Of The Electric Company DVD, which was released in late 2006 .
