Lesley Ann Warren

Born: August 16 1946
Where: New York, USA

First and foremost an actress inclined to musicals, Warren has also built up a repertoire of feature films.

She made her big screen debut in Disney's The Happiest Millionaire with Fred MacMurray, which she followed up with One and Only Genuine Original Family Bond.

Warren then turned her attention to the small screen, appearing in numerous TV-movies, busted pilots, miniseries and guest spots.

Her feature career was revived after an Oscar-nominated turn as the bleached blonde moll of a gangster James Garner in Blake Edwards' Victor/Victoria.

Whatever career momentum Warren might have gained was dissipated with A Night in Heaven and Choose Me as well as Songwriter.

She was wasted as the female lead in Mel Brooks' Life Stinks and the manager of a C&W singer in Pure Country but did win critical admiration for Going All the Way.

Warren played an aging actress in Steven Soderbergh's The Limey and also had a supporting role in the well-received Secretary.
