From Broadway to Hollywood
Lainie Kazan is the embodiment of the word entertainer -- and artist who has reached the pinnacle in virtually every area of performance. She has come a long way since she was Barbra Streisand's Broadway understudy in "Funny Girl." Once she was able to display her electrifying talent in two shows, she became the "Chanteuse" of her native New York, with nightclub stints and guest appearances on virtually every top variety and talk show in network television, including an unparalleled 26 appearances on "The Dean Martin Show." After watching her coo through ballads and belt like a sassy blues woman at San Francisco's Fairmont Hotel, an astonished Francis Ford Coppola offered her a plum role on "One From The Heart." The rest, as they say, is history.

In 1983, Lainie received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance in Richard Benjamin's "My Favorite Year," starring Peter O'Toole. Additional credits include, "The Associate", "The Big Hit", "Delta Force", "The Cemetery Club", "Beaches", "29th Street" and "Gigli".

People's Choice Favorite

She reprised her role in CBS' "My Big Fat Greek Life" TV series. She recently completed filming "The Engagement Ring" with Patricia Heaton, Vincent Spano, Tony Lo Bianco, as well as "Whiskey School," an independent feature also starring Olympia Dukakis, Mary Stuart Masterson and Gary Swanson.

Lainie also stormed series television, receiving an Emmy Award nomination for "St. Elsewhere" and a Cable ACE Award nomination for "The Paper Chase." Most recently she guest starred on "Will and Grace" as Grace's Aunt Honey.
