Biography

Glamorous and alluring actress Maggie Siff rooted herself in stage training and performances before moving on to the glitz and gloss of Hollywood assignments. A graduate of Bryn Mawr in Pennsylvania and New York University's prestigious Tisch School of the Arts, Siff moved into the theatrical community after graduation and took it by storm, delivering acclaimed performances in such productions as Ruby Sunrise, Frank's Home, the Chicago production of Dollhouse (for which she received a Jefferson Award nomination for Outstanding Leading Actress), and Ghosts. Cinematically, Siff emerged as an onscreen presence in the mid-2000s; projects included a bit part in Then She Found Me (2007) opposite Helen Hunt, and another bit role as an attorney in Michael Clayton (2007), opposite George Clooney. In 2007, Siff signed on to play Menken's department store head (and adulteress) Rachel Menken in the AMC network's critically acclaimed period series Mad Men. ~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
