Once she retired from accounting, she planned to enroll in drama school, but she never got her degree because she kept getting too much acting work to make the time to finish her studies.
She had a few bit parts when she was first cast in Northern Exposure as storekeeper Ruth-Anne Miller, who was supposed to appear intermittently on the show. The character was popular, though, and started appearing more frequently until she finally became a series regular, scoring an Emmy nomination in Hinkle in multiple episodes.
She even did an episode of ER and had an uncredited role in Jerry Maguire. A lifelong smoker who took up the habit at 13, Phillips died of lung cancer at age 84 but spent the last happy years of her life as the founder and artistic director of the Woodinville Repertory Theatre.

Ed tries his hand at a number of different hobbies over the course of the series. Aside from filmmaking, he also detects bears, detects other people's visions, [16] learns to make wooden flutes, raised an abandoned baby crane named Princess, and has 'an extensive mosquito collection'.

Joel : No? What the hell do Indians do? Ed : Use the key. Ed : to Laurie I don't think you should bug Dr. Fleischman because he's from New York, and they have a thing about paparazzi. Joel : You up here for some specific reason, or was it a little slow in the woods today?
Ed : No, they're about the same as always. Joel : Hey Ed, what is this--is this a track? Ed : Looks like a track. Joel : Looks fresh. You know, not that I know what a fresh track looks like, but that What is it? What's wrong? Ed : It's a bare footprint. Joel : As in grizzly bear footprint? Ed : No, more like as in a person with no shoes on. Ed : This is Ed for Chris, who woke up on the funky side of the bed this morning; so he asked Will Cutter to fill in for him, but Cutter came down with a fever.
So, I volunteered to cover the request lines. So, if there's anything you wanna say or hear, you can say or hear it right here on the Minnifield Communications Network. I hope you all get to feeling better, and that goes double and triple for you Maurice.
And this is something I've wanted to do for a long time. So, here it goes. Ed to Joel : People get mean when they get sick, but they don't mean it.

I mean, I never knew there was a power struggle in the Kremlin after Andropov died. Joel : chuckles Good night, Ed. Ed : Still covering the request lines for the Chris in the Morning Show.
Who's this? Jules : This is Jules up on the Koyuk River. Its dense intertextuality and fearlessness in building its narratives around Orson Welles, Ralph Waldo Emerson and—most spectacularly— Gabriel Garcia Marquez in an episode-long homage to the magical realism of "One Hundred Years of Solitude" helped expand what kinds of stories could be done on a network show, breaking ground that would be followed by the daring of cable and "netlet" shows in the ensuing 20 years.
Its open-ended narratives, ensemble casts, often melancholy and wistful tone—all of this speaks to a TV of the future as much as the TV of "Exposure"'s actual airdates.
The show was a great success, won several Emmys and Peabodys, and launched many of its stars into great futures. And then it all came crashing down. Like Maggie—the Detroit debutante who escapes into a new life in the Alaskan wilds—"Northern Exposure" and its creators didn't come out of nowhere.
John Falsey and Joshua Brand had been successfully working in TV for nearly two decades: As writers on "The White Shadow"; as writers and producers on Steven Spielberg's "Amazing Stories"; and most impressively, as the co-creators of three critically acclaimed shows in the '80s and early '90s—"St. Elsewhere,' we were kind of doctored out," says Brand.
We always say that we wanted to create Alaska as a state of mind, a place where people could recreate themselves in a nonjudgmental universe. Maggie is Joel's foil, not only because of their obvious screwball dynamic, but because they are actually not all that dissimilar from each other and thus can quickly find the right cutting words for one another during their arguments. For all of Maggie's constantly-proclaimed independence, she also comes to Alaska partially out of obligation, in this case to a boyfriend doing research in the area.
She criticizes Joel's misanthropy and disconnection from Cicely, but her job isolates her for several hours a day in a small plane, and carries her away from the town she fetishizes. Like Joel, she projects a brusque exterior, but it masks a great deal of hurt, which finds its expression in part through her need to make dioramas of her dead boyfriends. While Maggie has unfortunate luck with boyfriends, she also has a quasi-magical ability to save and restore men's health as in one early episode when a single, fairy tale kiss restores DJ Chris's voice, or in the extended fourth season relationship between Maggie and a hypochondriac played by Anthony Edwards.
And while Maggie is certainly someone who longs to "recreate themselves in a nonjudgmental universe," that non-judgment is severely restricted to herself—like Joel, she is quick to berate those like a female Gulf War veteran who opposes women in combat who don't match her worldview. It's a wonderful complexity that Janine Turner captures well, and one that reflected her own background, albeit in a mirror universe kind of way.
Her journey from Fort Worth, Texas to New York where, at 15, she was the youngest-ever Wilhelmina model was the reverse of Maggie's Alaskan escape from plush Grosse Pointe, but no less of a sea-change. She pursued acting in Los Angeles, but hated the TV work she was getting. A return to New York to study acting coincided with relationships with Alec Baldwin and Mikhail Baryshnikov, and when that period was over, she found herself, she said, pacing around New York's Diamond District, trying to figure out if she should pawn Baldwin's engagement ring to pay down numerous debts.
That was when the audition for "Exposure" came, and she was off to Washington State where the show actually filmed. Turner's lightning-quick emotional shifts are crucial to Maggie's prismatic character—in the space of a single scene, she can move from sarcastic to empathetic to enraged, and it almost always registers as real.
Her eyes, like Morrow's are remarkably expressive, and much of the show's power comes from how the program builds its shot-reverse shot dialogues or two-shots around their characters. As the show develops, so does Maggie, and a great deal of whatever meaning "Exposure"'s relatively disappointing final seasons have comes from how well Turner registers Maggie's growing desire for something more stable and heartfelt than her previous, itinerant existence.
Narratively, there are outs if the show became a hit—Joel grows to like Alaska, Joel stays because he falls in love with Maggie—but each one has the potential to upset the program's delicate emotional calculus. So it probably shouldn't be that surprising that a show with such creative power, commercial success and critical acclaim had such a quick burnout.
Given her ability to express several emotions at once, it also shouldn't be surprising that Maggie is at the center of two of its notable signs of change. When Morrow threatened a walk-out over his salary, the producers brought in a potential replacement as Maggie's sparring partner—Mike Anthony Edwards , a hypochondriac lawyer who moves to Cicely because of its clean air, lives in a bubble-like house and obsesses about germs and the degradation of the environment. When Mike appears at the start of the show's fourth season in , he is funny and odd, and an interesting extension of the show's willingness to go almost anywhere.
That might explain why Falsey and Brand thought they could get away with such a preachy, heavy-handed character, and then devote much of the season to his increasingly uninteresting follies. It was the show's first real misstep, and had the writers been willing to more self-critically explore the flaws of their Mary Sue-like Bubble Boy, it would have made more sense to pair him with Maggie who is a much more interesting take on moral certainty.
