PENELOPE ANN MILLER
Date of Birth: January 13, 1964
Penelope Ann Miller is the daughter of Mark Miller, a writer/filmmaker/actor who is best known for his role as the
dad in the 1960's sitcom Please Don't Eat The Daisies (1965). Her older sister is actor Marisa
Miller.
If you ever wondered where the scar on Penelope's right cheek came from, it happened in a car accident at age 15
while on a ski trip with her family. (Don't worry, it's not that noticeable!)
Born in Los Angeles, Penelope headed to New York to study theater right after high school graduation. Her big debut
was on Broadway in 1985 alongside Matthew Broderick in Neil Simon's Tony award-winning play Biloxi Blues in
1985. Just three years later, Penelope was nominated for a Tony Award for her character as "Emily" in Great
Performances: Our Town alongside Eric Stoltz and Spalding Gray. That same year, she recreated her Biloxi Blues
role in the movie of the same name opposite her Broadway co-star Broderick.
Having dabbled in television since 1985, Penelope made the switch to film and over the years, she has worked with
some of the most prestigious actors and directors in Hollywood, including Marlon Brando in The
Freshman (1990); Robert Downey Jr. in Richard Attenborough's Chaplin (1992); and Al Pacino in Carlito's Way (1993), for which she received a Golden Globe nomination; and Morgan Freeman in Along Came a Spider (2001). In 2011, she played a role in the Golden Globe-winning motion picture The Artist.
She has also starred in several television series, including The Closer (1998), A Minute with Stan Hooper (2003 - 2004), Vanished (2006) and most recently, Men of a Certain Age (2009 - 2011).
Penelope, who was previously married to actor Will Arnett, has two children, Aloisa May Huggins and Maria Adela
Huggins with her husband, actor James Patrick Huggins.
