Cheryl Hines
- Actress

- Director
Cheryl Ruth Hines was born on September 21, 1965 in Miami Beach,
Florida, to Rosemary (Graham) and James Hines, and grew up in
Tallahassee, Florida. She went to West Virginia University, Florida
State University and graduated from the University of Central Florida.
She studied theater and television production, but it was not until she
moved to Los Angeles and studied at the Groundlings Theater that she
felt she had really learned anything about comedy. Her first teacher
there was Lisa Kudrow. She learned to
improvise and write comedy sketches. This experience helped her prepare
for the role of Larry David's wife
on HBO's
Curb Your Enthusiasm (2000).
The dialogue on the situation comedy is improvised, so she feels right
at home. She still performs at the Groundlings Theater when she has a
chance.
