Felicity Huffman

Felicity Huffman is an Emmy and Golden Globe winner and Academy Award nominee.

Felicity Huffman made her UK stage debut at the Park Theatre in 2024 as the radical matriarch Paige in Taylor Mac’s Hir. Mac’s play is a disarmingly funny and strikingly original comedy that turns the classic dysfunctional family drama on its head, in a blistering show that explores a family in transition.

Felicity Huffman, probably most recognized for playing Lynette Scavo in the comedy drama Desperate Housewives, and for her impactful role in the film Transamerica, began her acting career in theatre. In 1988 she debuted on Broadway in David Mamet’s play Speed the Plow and in 1995 Huffman won an Obie Award for her performance in The Cryptogram, also by Mamet.

Huffman’s film and television accolades include an Academy Award nomination for her performance in Transamerica, as well as a Golden Globe Award and Independent Spirit Award for the same role, and an Emmy and Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

Huffman can be seen on the ABC series American Crime, When They See Us on Netflix, the 2019 comedy Otherhood as well as the independent movie, Tammy’s Always Dying.

She is a founding member of the Atlantic Theater Company, an off-Broadway theater in New York City.
