Biographie
Mimi Kennedy is an acclaimed actress working in theater, film and television. TV audiences around the world know her as Abby O’Neill Finkelstein, Dharma’s hippie mother from the ABC sitcom Dharma and Greg. She was a regular on a dozen other series, including Homefront, Savannah, The Two of Us, and Stockard Channing in Just Friends. Kennedy was seen in Todd Philips’ raucous comedy DUE DATE, and as U.S. Asst. Secretary of State Karen Clarke in Armando Iannucci’s acclaimed IN THE LOOP. Her other notable film credits include Jonathan Kaplan’s IMMEDIATE FAMILY, Alan Moyle’s PUMP UP THE VOLUME, Steven Soderbergh’s ERIN BROCKOVICH, Michael Schroeder’s MAN IN THE CHAIR.
Kennedy made her Broadway debut as Jan in “Grease.” She appeared at the Mark Taper Forum as Jules Feiffer’s sister in his semi-autobiographical play “Grown-Ups,” and starred as columnist Ann Landers in David Rambo’s one-woman play, “The Lady with all the Answers,” at Pasadena Playhouse and Cleveland Playhouse. She replaced Gilda Radner in “The National Lampoon Show,” and was foiled, by Helen Reddy, from parodying “I Am Woman” on the debut episode of Saturday Night Live, as recounted in books about the show’s history.
Instead, Kennedy made her TV debut playing in the musical-variety miniseries 3 Girls 3, which also launched the careers of Debbie Allen and Ellen Foley. Behind the cameras, Kennedy was Story Editor for the ninth season of Knots Landing, and published a mid-life memoir, “Taken to the Stage: The Education of an Actress” in 1996. She debuted her one-woman show, “Waking Matilda,” about suffragist Matilda Joslyn Gage at Auburn Public Theater and is shopping a novel about three American debutantes coming of age in the late 20th century.
