New York City, New York, USA:
Lee Grant (nata Lyova Haskell Rosenthal; 31 ottobre 1925) è un'attrice e regista americana. Debuttò al cinema nel 1951 come una giovane taccheggiatrice in Detective Story di William Wyler, con Kirk Douglas ed Eleanor Parker al coro della reta. Questo ruolo le valse una nomination all'Oscar come Miglior Attrice Non Protagonista e il Premio come Miglior Attrice al Festival di Cannes del 1952. Nel 1952 fu messa in blacklist per la maggior parte dei ruoli di attrice per i successivi 12 anni. Durante questo periodo riuscì a trovare solo occasionalmente lavoro sul palco o come insegnante. Questo contribuì anche al suo divorzio. Fu rimossa dalla lista nera nel 1962 e ricostruì la sua carriera di attrice. Ha recitato in 71 episodi TV di Peyton Place (1965–1966), seguiti da ruoli da protagonista in film come Valley of the Dolls, In the Heat of the Night (entrambi del 1967) e Shampoo (1975), per quest'ultimo dei quali ha vinto un Oscar. Nel 1964 vinse l'Obie Award per la Miglior Interpretazione di un'Attrice per la sua interpretazione in The Maids. Durante la sua carriera è stata nominata sette volte per l'Emmy Award tra il 1966 e il 1993, vincendo due volte. Nel 1986 ha diretto Down and Out in America, che ha conquistato l'Oscar come miglior documentario, e nello stesso anno ha vinto anche un Directors Guild of America Award per Nobody's Child.
