Kurtz's first television appearance at age 17 was on "The Golden Trap," the Donna Reed Show 4th-season episode (February, 1962). At eighteen, she appeared on To Tell the Truth, identifying her father from two strangers. In 1971, she made her debut on As The World Turns as a series regular on the daytime drama As The World Turns. Kurtz began her career in theater, making her Broadway debut in the 1975 revival of Ah, Wilderness! She first gained national recognition in 1978 for two dramatic performances, Uncommon Women and Others, Wendy Wasserstein's breakthrough play in which she appeared in a 1977 workshop at the Eugene O'Neill Theater Center and then Off-Broadway, as well as the film A History of the American Film, for which she received a Drama Desk Award. Kurtz's appearance of Gwen in Lanford Wilson's Fifth of July was soon recognized for her "triple crown" (the Tony, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle awards). In a 1986 revival of The House of Blue Leaves by John Guare, she earned her second Tony for her role as Bananas. In the 2002 Nora Ephron play Imaginary Friends, she appeared as playwright Lillian Hellman.
Kurtz was part of Mary Tyler Moore's short-lived variety series Mary, which also included David Letterman and Michael Keaton. Kurtz appeared in Love, Sidney, alongside Tony Randall in 1981, earning her the first of her ten Emmy Award nominations. She received her first Emmy for a guest-starring role on Carol Burnett's comedy show Carol & Company in 1990.
