Award winning actress Maggie Egan (aka Maggie Egan-Cummings) was raised in Upstate New York. Her father, Bill Egan, was a Real Estate Broker. Her mother, Mary Joan Egan, held a BS, and two Masters Degrees and was Superintendent of the School Library system. With three older sisters it was a busy household. At 14 Maggie was cast as Mrs. Barker in The American Dream by her wonderful high school teacher, Dan DiNicola, and that was it. Maggie caught the bug. She studied acting and filmmaking in college and moved to Houston and studied with Chris Wilson. In LA, Maggie studied with Gordon Hunt, Helen Hunt's father, and has studied with Chuck Marra and Megan Foley Marra who encourage her to write again. She studies with Andy Goldberg in his Improv Comedy Workshop, HBO Casting Director Amy Jo Berman; and Val Hubbard's Actors Fast Track. It was Steve Stark, current President, TV Productions and Development of MGM/UA who first discovered Maggie and brought her to LA eons ago when he worked on Star Search. They remain friends to this day. It was in LA where she met and married her own Irish American, Jim Cummings, a Chicago boy. They have one daughter, an event planner, at Pepperdine University. In addition to the 600+ commercials for The Disney Channel and various other companies, Maggie has over 50 TV/Film credits. She is now also writing plays and screenplays. One feature is a romantic comedy set in LA and Ireland, a fun sister's road trip to the Emerald Isle complete with corned beef and baggage. It is co-written with Jennifer Lynn O'Hara. The other one she is writing is a female driven spy comedy set in Vegas co-written with Melanie Collup. Maggie may be "a woman of a certain age" but she ain't done yet!

Maggie Egan - Synergy Talent, Karl Hofheinz, 818-995-6500

[on her TV commercial with the Pillsbury Dough Boy] I&#39;m not ashamed to
admit, that is my finger poking him in the stomach. And yes, I had a
little crush on him. Couldn&#39;t help myself. Anyone who smells like fresh
baked bread drives me nutty.
