Leah Lail
- Actress
Leah Lail became interested in acting when her father took her to see
"A Chorus Line" on Broadway. Raised on a horse farm just outside
Lexington, Kentucky, the younger of two sisters, Lail grew up as an
animal lover and an avid reader. Her father is in road construction,
while her mother raised horses. At age 18, Lail started college as a
political science major and received a scholarship to work and study
for the Social Democratic Party in Bonn, the former West German
capital. Lail transferred to the University of Southern California
where she graduated summa cum laude with degrees in German and theater,
with a minor in political science. As she took more acting classes,
including a stint at the Lee Strasberg Institute in New York, she began
to win roles on stage and television. One of her breakthrough roles was
as Hank Kingsley's wife on HBO's "The Larry Sanders Show".
