Biography
American actress and comedienne who studied with Marcel Marceau for one year, then moved to Los Angeles to do improv. She joined TV's hit, "Saturday Night Live," for several years before leaving both the show and New York in 1980.
Between 1980 and 1985 she received an occasional film role, as well as cosmetic surgery on her nose. In 1985 she returned to L.A. to do a movie entitled, "Perfect," in which she played an insecure workout addict. The following year she returned to T.V. in a late-night syndicated show called, "The Canned Film Festival." In 1987 she entered rehab to kick a substance abuse successfully.
Living in L.A. with actor-writer Chad Einbinder, she shot a dark comedy called "The Flunkie," along with raising her two daughters, Lena and Hannah. She had curvature of the spine, and wore a body brace at age 13. Her twin brother is a marketing executive.
