Cheryl Hines

Cheryl Ruth Hines was born on September 21, 1965, in Miami Beach, Florida, to Rosemary (Graham) and James Hines She her family resided in Tallahassee, Florida. She went to West Virginia University, Florida State University and graduated from the University of Central Florida. She was a theater and TV production, but it was only when she moved in Los Angeles and studied at the Groundlings Theater that she felt that she really had learned anything in the field of comedy. Her teacher at first was Lisa Kudrow. The actress began learning to create improvised scenes, and later draw comic sketches. This experience helped make her ready for the role as Larry David's spouse in the HBO show Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000). The dialogue in the comedy is improvised, so she is at ease. It is still a regular at the Groundlings Theater when she has an opportunity.
