Penelope Ann Miller most recently starred in FREESTYLE opposite Corbin Blue, which will be released in October by Samuel Goldwyn Films, and in ROBOSAPIEN: REBOOTED for producer Avi Arad, which is currently in post-production. She also recently starred in Sony Pictures psychological thriller, THE MESSENGERS for producer Sam Raimi, the Pang Brothers (THE EYE) opposite Dylan McDermott and Kristen Stewart, which opened #1 at the box office, and in Think Films’ slapstick comedy, FUNNY MONEY, opposite Chevy Chase, her performance in which is being compared to Lucille Ball and Carole Lombard in their heydays.

Miller has shared the screen with some of the most notable and renowned leading men in Hollywood. This distinguished list includes Al Pacino and Sean Penn in CARLITO'S WAY, for which she received a Golden Globe nomination; Marlon Brando and Matthew Broderick in THE FRESHMAN; Robert De Niro and Robin Williams in AWAKENINGS; Danny DeVito and Gregory Peck in OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY; and Arnold Schwarzenegger in KINDERGARTEN COP.

Miller was named “Star of Tomorrow” by the Motion Picture Bookers Club and “Most Promising Actress” by the Chicago Film Critics Association. She received a special jury award for Best Performance at the Hollywood Film Festival for her role in the independent feature RHAPSODY IN BLOOM, and a Tony Award nomination for her portrayal of ‘Emily’ in Broadway’s Tony-winning revival of “Our Town.” Miller’s television credits include “Rocky Marciano,” “The Last Don,” “The Mary Kay Letourneau Story” and “Rudy: The Rudy Giuliani Story.”

Miller left her native Los Angeles when she was 18 to study acting in New York under Herbert Berghoff. Miller’s big break and Broadway debut occurred when she originated the role of “Daisy Hanningan” in Neil Simon's Tony Award-winning play “Biloxi Blues.” She would repeat the role in the film version, again opposite Matthew Broderick.

Miller currently lives in Los Angeles with her husband and two daughters.
