Page "Julie Kavner" Paragraph 4

Kavner was born in Los Angeles, California on September 7, 1950, the second daughter of Rose, a family counselor, and David Kavner, a furniture manufacturer.

She decided to pursue a career in acting because, " There was nothing else I wanted to do, ever.

" She attended Beverly Hills High School, which she later admitted she hated.

She was " something of a loner " in high school and unsuccessfully tried out for several plays.

John Ingle, formerly the chairman of the Beverly Hills High School art department, later commented that Kavner was " excellent at improvisation but she wasn't an ingenue and not that castable at that age.
