Full Amy Sedaris Biography
Amy Sedaris was born in Endicott, New York, daughter of Sharon and Lou Sedaris, an IBM engineer. She is the younger sister of humorist David Sedaris. They grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina. She is of half Greek descent; her father was Greek Orthodox and her mother was Protestant, and she was raised in her father's faith.
Amy Sedaris lives in Greenwich Village with her mini rex rabbit Dusty and is very involved with the House Rabbit Society. As part of a running joke during public appearances, she frequently alludes to her imaginary boyfriend, Ricky. During a January 2005 appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman, she claimed Ricky had "died", (murdered) and she now lives with Ricky's ghost. Amy Sedaris has participated in PETA's anti-fur program.
Sedaris also hosted the series Film Fanatic on Trio. She coauthored the text-and-picture novel Wigfield with Paul Dinello and Stephen Colbert, published in 2003. As of 2005, Sedaris writes a monthly advice column in The Believer. She has written a guide to entertaining titled I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence, published in October 2006 by Warner Books. That light-hearted approach to cooking stayed on the New York Times best-sellers list for over 12 weeks, and currently has over 350,000 copies in print.
Sedaris appeared in two episodes of Rescue Me, two episodes of Monk, an episode of Wonder Showzen, on Just Shoot Me! as a female version of David Spade's character, and as Carrie Bradshaw's book publisher in Sex and the City. She also played Paulie the Penis in the online comedy sketch 'The Puberty Pals'. She guest-starred as Randy's cat-obsessed girlfriend in an October 2006 episode of My Name Is Earl. She has also made a guest appearance on Sesame Street as a flustered Snow White who keeps losing her dwarves.
One of Sedaris' lesser known characters, Piglet, is a foul-mouthed, promiscuous Southern girl whom she affects by pulling her nose back with a piece of tape, creating a "pig nose" look. Although the character's rants are too obscene for her television appearances, Sedaris is often encouraged by fans to perform her at book signings and other appearances. |
