BIO
Felicity Huffman is an American actress who was born on December 9, 1962, in Bedford, New York. She grew up in a family of eight children and attended Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan before studying at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art in London.

In 1997, Huffman made her film debut in "Hackers," but it was her role as Dana Whitaker in the television series "Sports Night" that brought her widespread recognition. She went on to star in the critically acclaimed drama "American Crime," which earned her a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or Movie.
Huffman's most famous role came in 2004 when she starred as Lynette Scavo in the hit television series "Desperate Housewives." The show ran for eight seasons and earned her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Television Series - Musical or Comedy.
In addition to her work on television, Huffman has appeared in several films, including "Transamerica," for which she received an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. She has also lent her voice to several animated films, including "Ratchet & Clank" and "The Nut Job."
Most recently, Huffman starred in the television series "When They See Us" and the film "Tammy's Always Dying."

Review: HIR, Park Theatre
In its basic premise and form, Hir is a very traditional piece of theatre. It follows a typical two-act structure and the whole play takes place in one room with the same four characters. Within this familiar form, however, Mac wreaks havoc on the notion of the nuclear family, exploring what takes place in a family unit without a patriarch.
