Autorenporträt
Mimi Kennedy is an actress with five decades experience on stage and screen. She started at age 12 in Community Theater in Rochester, New York, got her first professional job in summer stock with TV legend Sid Caesar, made her Broadway debut in the original run of Grease, and enjoyed long runs in the world of sitcom as the iconic characters Abby Finkelstein, the hippie mother in Dharma & Greg, and Marjorie, the veteran 12-step sponsor to Allison Janney in Mom. In between were movies like Midnight In Paris and In The Loop. In the course of her story, she shows us that being an actor and storyteller is a fruitful way to develop as a human being. We are all spirits behind the masks of our individuality, here on earth to learn, to love, and to share the joy that is meant for us. "That's why we've taken to the stage." Pulitzer prize-winning playwright Wendy Wasserstein called this mid-life autobiography "one of the great theatrical memoirs." Mimi currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband of four decades - her 1966 Perfect Computer Matchmate, Larry Dilg. They have two grown children and two grandchildren.
