STAR BIO
DANCE PARTNER: Maksim Chmerkovskiy
PROFESSION:
Actor
BACKGROUND:
She's known for her roles as a sharp-tongued New Yorker, but we can't wait to see how sharp her moves are on the dance floor!
You could say Debi Mazar had a mob mentality when she made her feature film debut in Martin Scorsese's
GoodFellas. Her performance in the hit mafia flick set the stage for an extensive career which had her working with the top filmmakers in Hollywood including: Oliver Stone, Spike Lee, Woody Allen, Michael Mann and Joel Schumacher.
Debi often portrays a sharp-tongued New Yorker in both dramas and comedies. We've seen her pop up on TV on shows like
Friends,
Ugly Betty and her own sitcom,
Temporarily Yours. Nowadays, you can catch her as publicist Shauna on HBO's hit series
Entourage.
The next time you're surfing the Web, check out Debi and her hubby as they co-host
Under the Tuscan Gun, a popular Internet show focusing on Tuscan cuisine. We're thinking the recipes are the real deal, as the couple presently resides in L.A. and Tuscany, Italy, along with their two daughters.
As for us, we can't wait to see what she and her partner cook up on the
DWTS stage!
