Kathryn Hahn
Kathryn Hahn is an acclaimed American actress and comedian born on July 23, 1973, in Westchester, Illinois, and raised in Cleveland, Ohio. She developed an early passion for performance, attending Northwestern University for her undergraduate degree in theater before earning her MFA from the Yale School of Drama. Hahn first gained widespread television recognition as grief counselor Lily Lebowski on the NBC crime drama Crossing Jordan (2001–2007), but she soon established herself as a versatile comedic force in films like How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, and Step Brothers. Over the years, she transitioned seamlessly between raucous comedies like Bad Moms and deeply nuanced, "messy" dramatic roles in projects such as Private Life, Afternoon Delight, and the HBO miniseries I Know This Much Is True. In recent years, Hahn’s career reached new heights of global popularity through her involvement in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, where her portrayal of the ancient witch Agatha Harkness in WandaVision earned her a Primetime Emmy nomination and her own spin-off series, Agatha All Along (2024). Her recent film credits include playing the stressed-out Governor Claire Debella in Rian Johnson's Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (2022). Known for her ability to balance suburban relatability with intense, often dark emotional depth, Hahn has become one of Hollywood's most sought-after character actresses. She has been married to actor Ethan Sandler since 2002, and the couple resides in Los Angeles with their two children.
