Born December 9, 1962, in Bedford, New York. Extremely talented and versatile, Felicity Huffman has worked on stage, film and television. She is perhaps best known for her depiction of a frazzled mother Lynette Scavo on the popular prime-time comedy Desperate Housewives. Nicknamed “Flicka” growing up, she first appeared on television in the afterschool special A Home Run for Love (1978) as a teenager. After a string of guest appearances and small film parts, Felicity Huffman got a chance to show television audiences just how talented she was in 1998 with the comedy Sports Night, created by Aaron Sorkin. Playing television producer Dana Whitaker, she earned a Golden Globe Award nomination in 2000 for her work on the series. While critics loved the show, it only lasted two seasons.
