Lesley Ann Warren mini-bio: Lesley Ann Warren is an Oscar nominated American stage, film and television actress. Warren was born in New York City to a Jewish family whose surname was originally "Woronoff". The 5-foot-8 inch actress began her career as a ballet dancer, training at the School of American Ballet.

She entered the Actors Studio at the age of seventeen - reputedly the youngest applicant ever to be accepted. Her Broadway debut came in 1963 in the musical, 110 in the Shade. She won the Theatre World Award for her performance in the 1965 flop musical Drat! The Cat!. In 1973 she portrayed Scarlett O'Hara in the Los Angeles production of Scarlett, which was reviewed so scathingly it didn't continue to Broadway as planned. Having failed to obtain the role of Liesl in the film version of The Sound of Music, her first major television success was in the title role of Rodgers and Hammerstein's television special, Cinderella, in 1965. She later replaced Barbara Bain as the leading female in the Mission: Impossible team during the 1970-1971 television season, though according to The Complete Mission: Impossible Dossier by Patrick White, she was considered too inexperienced for the part and left after only one year (she was billed as Lesley Warren on the series).

In 1967, she married producer Jon Peters. They had one son, Christopher (born 1968, now an actor), but were subsequently divorced. Most recently, she has had recurring roles on Will & Grace - as Will's father's mistress - and on Desperate Housewives as Susan's mother.
