Mamie Gummer

When your mother is no other than the Hollywood wonder, Meryl Streep, you are certainly up for the world’s best acting workshop sessions, plus you get it free. Even more pleasing about it is, there’s at least a 50% chance you inherit that golden gene of acting. Mamie Willa “Mamie” Gummer sure did and successfully made a name in the industry for herself. Mamie Gummer was born on August 3, 1983, in New York City, USA.

As a child, Mamie appeared in her mother’s film The House of the Spirits before attending the prestigious Northwestern University to study business and theater. Her father is Don Gummer, who is also a known sculptor. Mamie had her first movie credit alongside her mother in Heartburn and again, appeared with her mother for the second time in the film, Ricki and the Flash as onscreen mother and daughter.
