industry. She is known worldwide for her Emmy-nominated role as Karen Mackenzie
in the landmark CBS drama Knots Landing. She was discovered at the age of
17 by Broadway producer David Merrick, and achieved national recognition as
Rosemary in How To Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, which she later
repeated on screen. She played opposite Dean Jones in the Disney Classic The Love
Bug. And played the mom opposite Ben Stiller and Jennifer Aniston in Along Came
Polly. Ms. Lee has starred in and produced numerous films for television
and became the first woman to produce, direct, co-write, and star in her

performer Stephen Holden of The New York Times says it best, "Once she's on the
stage, it isn't enough to seduce or enlighten; the only goal worth pursuing is
total conquest." Additionally, Ms. Lee garnered The Drama Desk Award, The Outer
Critics Circle Award, and Tony nominations for her performances in the Broadway
musical Seesaw and The Tale of the Allergist's Wife.
Michele most recently appeared as Madame
Morrible in the mega hit musical WICKED and just returned to the Broadway

Wife. A star bears her name on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
