Lee Grant Biography
Lee Grant is an American stage, film and television actress, and film director. She was blacklisted for 12 years from film work beginning in the mid-1950s, but worked in the theatre, and would eventually win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance as Felicia Carp in the film "Shampoo."
Grant studied acting at NYC's prestigious Neighborhood Playhouse under the guidance of famed acting coach Sanford Meisner before establishing herself as a dramatic actress on and off Broadway, earning praise for her role as a shoplifter in the play Detective Story which began its run on March 23, 1949. She made her film debut in the movie version of Detective Story, receiving her first Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress nomination and winning the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival.
She then appeared in the television series "Peyton Place" as Stella Chernak. She won an Emmy Award for Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Drama for that role. In 1968, Grant appeared in the TV series "Mission Impossible," portraying the wife of a U.S. diplomat who goes undercover to discredit a rogue diplomat.
She received subsequent Academy Award nominations for "The Landlord" and "Voyage of the Damned." She won an Oscar for "Shampoo." She has directed several documentary films, including "Down and Out in America," which won the Academy Award for Documentary Feature. In recent years she directed a series of "Intimate Portrait" episodes (for Lifetime Television) that celebrated a diverse range of accomplished women.
Grant appeared as a cunning icy killer on an episode of "Columbo," for which she was nominated for an Emmy as Outstanding Lead Actress - Miniseries or a Movie. Competing against herself, she received the award for her other Emmy-nominated performance in "The Neon Ceiling." She had her own sitcom, "Fay," which was canceled after only eight episodes. She made a guest appearance on "Empty Nest," in which her daughter Dinah Manoff starred.
In 1988, she was awarded the Women in Film Crystal Award for outstanding women who, through their endurance and the excellence of their work, have helped to expand the role of women within the entertainment industry.
Lee currently has a book out title: "I Said Yes to Everything: a Memoir".
