Amanda Michael Plummer (born March 23, 1957 in New York, New York) is an American Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress.

Biography

She is the daughter of actors Tammy Grimes and Christopher Plummer. Plummer attended Middlebury College in Vermont and acting classes at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York. Early in life, her interest was in riding and tending to horses on the East Coast and in Ireland.

Career

Her first movie was the 1981 Western "Cattle Annie and Little Britches". She received a Tony Award nomination and the 1981 Theatre World Award for her first Broadway role, as Josephine in a Broadway revival of A Taste of Honey. She won the 1982 Tony Award for Featured Actress for her portrayal of Sister Agnes in the play Agnes of God, her second role on Broadway. Before achieving leading movie roles, one of her most recognized appearances was on L.A. Law as Alice Hackett, a developmentally disabled girlfriend of Benny Stulwitz, played by Larry Drake, for which she received an Emmy Award nomination.

Her film roles have been described as "spooky, kooky, half-mad characters." (The San Diego Union-Tribune)
