She starred in the ABC sitcom Speechless, the NBC sitcom About a Boy, and had a recurring role in the NBC series Will & Grace. She has also starred in several British dramas, including The Deep for BBC One.
Before she began working as an actress, Driver was a singer; she has released three full solo albums in the course of her career. She has also lent her voice to a variety of animated series and films, including SuperMansion and Tarzan, as well as video games, including Jurassic Park: Trespasser.
Early life and education
Amelia Fiona Jessica Driver[1] was born in London on January 31, 1970, and she was raised in Barbados until she was six.[2][3] The nickname Minnie was given to her by her older sister Kate in childhood.[4]
Her mother, Gaynor Churchward (Template:Née), was a fabric designer and former couture model. Her father, Charles Ronald Driver,[5] was born in Swansea, Wales, and was of English and Scottish descent.[6] He earned the Distinguished Flying Medal[5] for his role in the Battle of Heligoland Bight[7] and was a director of London United Investments.[6][8][9]
Her parents never married.[7] Her father was married to another woman throughout his relationship with her mother. Her parents broke off their relationship when she was six years old.[4] She was sent to Bedales School in Hampshire as a boarder soon after.[4] She later attended the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art,[10] and Collingham College in Kensington, Central London.[11][4][12]
Career
Acting
Driver's television debut was in a 1991 TV advertisement for Right Guard deodorant.[13] Driver also made her stage debut in 1991, supplementing her income by performing as a jazz vocalist and guitarist.[14] In 1993 she featured in an episode of Maigret, alongside Michael Gambon and Michael Sheen. Also in 1993, she played alongside Jonathan Pryce in the mini-series Mr Wroe's Virgins. She appeared in The Day Today, on British television, with comedian Steve Coogan and for satirist Armando Iannucci, and had small parts in Casualty, The House of Eliott, Lovejoy and Peak Practice.
Driver gained broader public attention when she played the lead role in Circle of Friends in 1995, opposite Chris O'Donnell. She followed this with a minor role in GoldenEye (1995), a supporting role in Sleepers (1996), a leading role in Big Night (1996), and as a co-star in Grosse Pointe Blank (1997), opposite John Cusack.
Driver played opposite Matt Damon as Skylar in the drama Good Will Hunting (1997), for which she was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress and a Screen Actors Guild Award.[15]
In 1998, Driver starred in Sandra Goldbacher's film The Governess.[16] That year, she co-starred opposite Christian Slater and Morgan Freeman in the action thriller Hard Rain. Driver has also worked on several animated features, voicing Jane in Disney's 1999 version of Tarzan and Lady Eboshi in the 1999 English-dubbed release of the Japanese film Princess Mononoke. In 2003 and 2004, she had a recurring role on Will & Grace as Lorraine Finster, the nemesis of Karen Walker (Megan Mullally) and daughter of Karen's lover, Lyle Finster (John Cleese).
In March 2007, Driver made her return to television in the FX Network show The Riches. She was nominated for an Emmy Award[17] and a Golden Globe Award as Best Lead Actress in a Drama Series in 2007 and 2008, respectively.[18] She was scheduled to appear in The Simpsons Movie, although her appearance was cut from the final version. Driver appeared in the January 2010 episode of Modern Family entitled "Moon Landing".[19] She also starred in the television series The Deep[20] and appeared in Conviction, in the comedy drama Barney's Version, winning a Genie Award for Best Supporting Actress.[21]
In October 2013, Driver started filming for The Crash which was released on 13 January 2017.[22]
Driver landed the lead role in the ABC sitcom Speechless, playing the mother of three children, one of whom has cerebral palsy and uses a wheelchair. The series debuted in the 2016–17 TV season. It was cancelled in May 2019 after three seasons.[23]
Music
Driver began making music at boarding school.[24] She collaborated on Bomb the Bass's album Clear, in 1994, as part of the outfit River. She was part of the Milo Roth Band, which received a recording contract when she was 19.[24] In 2001 she signed with EMI and Rounder Records and performed at the SXSW music festival.[25] The title song of Everything I've Got in My Pocket, her first album, reached No. 34[26] in the U.K., and the song "Invisible Girl" peaked at No. 68. Driver wrote 10 of the 11 songs on the album. In 2004, Driver was the supporting act for the Finn Brothers on the U.K. portion of their world tour.[27]
In 2004, Driver played Carlotta Giudicelli in Joel Schumacher's film The Phantom of the Opera, based on the musical of the same name by Andrew Lloyd Webber. Driver sang "Learn to be Lonely", an original song written for the film by Lloyd Webber. However, because of her lack of opera experience, all her songs as Carlotta were dubbed by opera singer Margaret Preece. Driver released her second album, Seastories, in July 2007, featuring guest appearances by Ryan Adams, the Cardinals and Liz Phair.[28] Driver released a third album in October 2014 called Ask Me to Dance that includes songs by Elliott Smith, Neil Young and The Killers.[29]
Podcast
In 2021, Driver started a podcast, Minnie Questions with Minnie Driver, in which she asks guests a series of seven questions, inspired by the Proust Questionnaire. Guests have included Chelsea Clinton, Nick Jonas and Cindy Crawford.[30]

The two split in early 1998.[31] She was briefly engaged to Josh Brolin in 2001.[32] She has a son born in 2008[33] from a brief relationship with television writer and producer Timothy J. Lea.[34] Driver confirmed that she was in a relationship with Addison O'Dea in 2019.[35][36]
In 2016, Driver revealed that she was sexually assaulted at age 17 while on holiday in Greece.[37][38]
On 21 December 2017, Driver became a citizen of the United States.[39][40][41][42] After living in California for a number of years, Driver moved back to London.Template:When[43][44]
