Glenne Aimee Headly (born November 13, 1955) is an American actress. She is known for her roles in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Mr. Holland's Opus. Headly has received Theatre World Awards and four Joseph Jefferson Awards, and was nominated for two Primetime Emmy Awards. Most recently, Headly and Ed Begley Jr. have been tapped for lead roles opposite Josh Hutcherson in Future Man, Hulu's half-hour comedy pilot from Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg.
Headly was born in New London, Connecticut. Her first years were spent living under the care of her mother in San Francisco and her maternal grandmother in Lansford, Pennsylvania. Early in her elementary school years, she joined her mother, who was then living in Greenwich Village, and grew up having a rich cultural life. She studied ballet at the Robert Joffrey school of ballet and modern dance at the Martha Graham Studios. In New York, she attended public schools, including P. S. 41, where she was placed in a class for intellectually gifted children. It was here that a fifth grade teacher introduced her to the work of Jacques Cousteau in an oceanography class, spawning a lifelong interest for her in preserving the natural world. She later went on to the High School of Performing Arts, majoring in drama and graduated with honors.
Rather than continuing to study the dramatic arts, she attended a small American college in Switzerland from which she graduated with a Bachelor's Degree. Soon after, she moved to New York, taking day jobs as a waitress so that she could work nights in the theatre for little or no salary. Later she moved to Chicago, where she joined the "New Works Ensemble" at the St. Nicholas Theatre and was eventually cast in a Goodman Theatre production of Curse of the Starving Class, directed by Robert Falls and co-starring John Malkovich.
