Michele Lee Wiki Biography

Michele Lee, born on June 24, 1942, is an accomplished American actress, singer, dancer, producer, director, and a frequent game show panelist during the 1970s. She is widely recognized for her Emmy Award-nominated role as Karen Cooper Fairgate MacKenzie on the 1980s prime-time soap opera, Knots Landing. Lee is also a two-time Tony Award nominee.

Lee kicked off her career on Broadway, where she appeared in Vintage 60 (1960) and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying (1961). She made her film debut in the movie version of “How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying” in 1967. She co-starred with Dean Jones in the 1969 Disney film, “The Love Bug,” and also starred that year opposite Dick Van Dyke in “The Comic”. Lee received a Tony Award nomination for Best Actress in a Musical in 1974 for “Seesaw.”

She remained an integral part of Knots Landing for all fourteen seasons from 1979-1993, being the only cast member to appear in every episode. The role earned her an Emmy nomination in 1982 and three Soap Opera Digest Awards for Best Actress in 1988, 1991, and 1992.

Her roles since then have been diverse, including the title role in the 1998 TV movie “Scandalous Me: The Jacqueline Susann Story” and a return to Broadway in the play “The Tale of the Allergist’s Wife”, for which she received a second Tony nomination in 2001. She also appeared in the 2004 film “Along Came Polly”.
