About Laraine Newman

Laraine Newman: The Original Saturday Night Live Queen

Laraine Newman was born on March 2, 1952, in Los Angeles, California. She grew up in a family of performers, with her mother being a professional dancer and her father a comedy writer. It was no surprise that Newman would follow in their footsteps and become a performer herself.

Newman's big break came in 1975 when she was cast as one of the original members of Saturday Night Live. She quickly became a fan favorite with her memorable characters such as Connie Conehead and Sheri the Valley Girl. Her comedic timing and ability to transform into different characters made her a standout on the show.

After leaving SNL in 1980, Newman continued to work in the entertainment industry as an actress, writer, and comedian. She appeared in numerous films and television shows, including Coneheads, The Blues Brothers, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. She also lent her voice to various animated series such as The Critic and Rugrats.

In addition to her acting career, Newman is also a talented writer. She has written for numerous television shows, including The New Adventures of Mighty Mouse and The Coneheads. She also co-wrote the book, "The Coneheads Scrapbook," which chronicled the history of the iconic SNL characters.

Newman's contributions to the entertainment industry have not gone unnoticed. She has been nominated for several awards, including an Emmy for her work on The Coneheads. In 2018, she was inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame for her contributions to the industry.

Despite her success, Newman has remained humble and grateful for her career. In an interview with Rolling Stone, she stated, "I feel incredibly lucky to have had the career that I've had. I never take it for granted."

Laraine Newman's talent and contributions to the entertainment industry have made her a true icon. Her legacy as one of the original queens of Saturday Night Live will continue to inspire future generations of performers.
