Born In: Miami, Florida, United States
Rita Rudner is an American actress, comedian, screenplay writer and author, well known in the comedy circuit for her soft, light-hearted humorous one-liners, based mostly on the dynamics of relationships between men and women. Rudner started out as a chorus line dancer with Broadway shows in New York but after struggling with that for a while, she jumped onto doing stand-up comedy acts at clubs in New York City. She made a career change because at the time stand-up comedy was not as much competitive for women and Rudner had a knack for comedy. She soon got some exposure on the television through television commercials at first and then she started to get recognition as a comedian through TV shows like ‘Tonight Show With Johnny Carson’, ‘Late Night With David Letterman’, etc. As she got more and more air time on the television, she began to get more creative opportunities - HBO offered her a solo act on its network ‘Rita Rudner’s One Night Stand’, followed by ‘Born To Be Mild’ and ‘Married Without Children’. She is also a bestselling author for books that are witty and humorous, like, ‘Guide To Men’, ‘Naked Beneath My Clothes’, etc. She lives with her family in Vegas now where she does cabarets and production shows.
