On the surface, Christine Quinn and Holland Taylor would not seem to have much in common. One comes from a middle-class Irish-Catholic family on Long Island; the other is the daughter of a well-to-do lawyer and artist mother in Philadelphia. One has spent her life in politics, starting as a community organizer, and is now speaker of the New York City Council, the first woman to hold that position. The other has worked in show business for nearly 50 years, first as a stage actress in New York, winning acclaim in plays like"Butley” and “The Cocktail Hour,” before taking roles in television on “Bosom Buddies” (where she was a co-star along with then-unknown Tom Hanks), “The Practice” and “Two and a Half Men.”
