Though the Florida native would study theater, radio, and television at Florida State University, a move to Los Angeles found her discovering a natural talent for improvisational theater. In the following years, Hines would refine her comic skills while gaining exposure on such popular television series as Suddenly Susan, The Wayans Bros., and Friends, though it was her Emmy-nominated performance as hapless comic Larry David's wife on Curb Your Enthusiasm that truly made her a recognizable face on the small screen. Before making the leap to features with a supporting role in the 2004 comedy Along Came Polly, Hines continued to amuse on television with bit parts in Everybody Loves Raymond, Ask Rita, and Reno 911! The laughs continued when Hines landed the role of a mother tiger on the animated television series Father of the Pride. In addition to her screen work, Hines has also amused audiences by playing a supremely untalented solo performer in the warmly received performance piece One Woman Show. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
