Maya Rudolph
Daughter of soul singer Minnie Riperton, Maya Rudolph became one of the defining 'Saturday Night Live' cast members of the 2000s (2000-2007), beloved for impressions ranging from Beyoncé to, years later, Kamala Harris. Her film breakthrough came leading the ensemble of 'Bridesmaids' (2011) after the tender road movie 'Away We Go' (2009). A prolific voice actress, she won Emmys for 'Big Mouth' and played the mother in Pixar's 'Luca' (2021), before headlining the comedy 'Loot' (2022). Warmth, musicality and total commitment to the bit define her work.
