Mimi Cozzens is an American actress. She was born Mildred Gloria Cozzens in Brooklyn, New York, growing up in Glendale in the borough of Queens. Of Irish/English extraction, she was one of two daughters born to Milton (Jeff) Cozzens, a Dean of Boys and track coach at Clark Junior High School in the South Bronx and the Police Athletic League, and Dorothy Pitt Cozzens, Dean and owner of NYC's Academy of Professional Children in the late 1940s. Affectionately called Mimi before she was a year old, both she and sister Dorothy Faith were employed as child models for the John Robert Powers Agency in NYC (Mimi was 3-1/2 when she booked her first job). Her interest in performing was sustained indefinitely after she sang and danced on a local TV show called "Teen Topper Revue." Graduating from Newtown High School in Elmhurst, New York, she studied at Emerson College in the early 1950's before subsequently receiving her Bachelor of Arts in Speech/Drama with a minor in Broadcasting from Hofstra College.

A veteran of the theatre, Mimi has enjoyed a wide range of roles over the course of her extensive career -- from comedy ("Born Yesterday," "Goodbye Charlie," "The Man Who Came to Dinner") to drama ("The Last of Mrs. Lincoln," "Children of A Lesser God") to musicals ("Guys and Dolls") to Shakespeare and the classics ("The Comedy of Errors," "A Month in the Country"). She made her Broadway debut in Neil Simon's "I Ought to Be in Pictures," directed by Herbert Ross when she went on for Joyce Van Patten. Her national tours include "The Prisoner of Second Avenue" and "Same Time, Next Year," as well as the original Los Angeles tour of "Tribute" starring Jack Lemmon.
