Biography

Early life

Kavner was born in Los Angeles, California of Jewish heritage,[1] and grew up entirely in Southern California, a fact that comes as a surprise to many people who identify her with her role as New Yorker Brenda Morgenstern and who peg her creaky, somewhat nasally voice as sounding "East Coast." Kavner went to Beverly Hills High School, and studied Theatre Arts and graduated with honors from San Diego State University in 1971.

Career

She has appeared in several Woody Allen films including Radio Days (along with Michael Tucker, Mia Farrow, and Diane Wiest); New York Stories (opposite Allen himself); Alice (opposite Farrow again); Hannah and Her Sisters (opposite Michael Caine), as well as Deconstructing Harry (opposite Richard Benjamin and Julia Louis-Dreyfus). In 1975 she also received a nomination for her starring role in the daytime special, The Girl Who Couldn’t Lose. She also appeared in Awakenings (opposite Robin Williams and Robert De Niro), The Revenge of The Stepford Wives (1980).
