Early life

Mamie Gummer was born to actress Meryl Streep, and sculptor Don Gummer. She grew up in Los Angeles, California and Salisbury, Connecticut with her older brother, Henry and younger sisters, Grace Gummer (also an actress) and Louisa.

Career

As a young child, she appeared with her mother in Heartburn (credited under the name Natalie Stern to avoid press scrutiny) and despite being only three at the time of filming, received a positive review in the New York Times.[2] She attended Miss Porter's School and graduated from the Kent School in Kent CT before continuing her studies in theatre and communications at Northwestern University, graduating in 2005. Later that year, she made her off-Broadway debut alongside Michael C. Hall in the premiere of Noah Haidle's Mr. Marmalade, for which she won a Theatre World Award. In 2007, she received a Lucille Lortel Award nomination for her performance in Theresa Rebeck's The Water's Edge.

Mamie Gummer made her adult motion picture debut with a minor role in Lasse Hallström's The Hoax, starring Richard Gere. In 2007, Gummer starred with her mother in Michael Cunningham's film adaptation of Susan Minot's novel Evening, playing her mother as a young woman. The film, directed by Lajos Koltai, featured a cast including Vanessa Redgrave, Glenn Close and Claire Danes.

Gummer portrayed Sally Adams in the 2008 HBO mini series John Adams which details the life of the second President of the United States. Mamie made her Broadway debut in the Tony Award-nominated revival of Les liaisons dangereuses in 2008, for which she received critical praise.[3] Mamie Gummer also guest-starred on the CBS legal drama The Good Wife in the season 1 episode "Bad" portraying Nancy Crozier. Her character returned again on season 2 episode "Cleaning House".[4]

Starting in 2011, she stars in the ABC medical show Off the Map with Zach Gilford, and Valerie Cruz. The show is created by Jenna Bans and Shonda Rhimes.[citation needed]

Starting April 13, 2011, Mamie will star in the Off-Broadway production of The School For Lies written by David Ives, directed by Walter Bobbie, and produced by Classic Stage Company.[citation needed]
