New York City, New York, USA:
Joan Cusack (New York, 11 ottobre 1962) è un'attrice statunitense. È la figlia di Nancy (nata Carolan) e Dick Cusack. Suo padre era un dirigente pubblicitario, scrittore e attore, e sua madre era un'insegnante di matematica. Anche i suoi fratelli - Susie Cusack, John Cusack, Ann Cusack e Bill Cusack recitano. La sua famiglia è di origine irlandese. Cresciuta a Evanston, Illinois, Cusack è stata attivamente incoraggiata a esplorare la sua creatività dai suoi genitori e da bambina si è unita al Piven Theatre Workshop. Ha continuato a imparare e ad esibirsi in improvvisazione allo Story Theater e all'Ark. Successivamente ha frequentato l'Università del Wisconsin-Madison, laureandosi in inglese. Mentre era all'università, Cusack ha ottenuto alcuni piccoli ruoli cinematografici, ma la sua grande occasione è arrivata dopo la laurea, quando è entrata a far parte del cast del leggendario Saturday Night Live. Tuttavia, è rimasta solo per una stagione prima di passare ad esplorare altri progetti. Nel 1987, ha prodotto una svolta memorabile nell'acclamato Broadcast News (1987), ed è stata nominata all'Oscar per la sua interpretazione in Working Girl (1988). Altri film degni di nota includono I valori della famiglia Addams (1993), Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) e In & Out (1997), che le è valso una seconda nomination all'Oscar. Ha anche prestato, superbamente, la voce di Jessie the Yodel Cowgirl in Toy Story 2 (1999) e Toy Story 3 (2010). In televisione, ha ottenuto un ruolo in Shameless, con il suo lavoro che le è valso una nomination agli Emmy. Joan Cusack è sposata con un avvocato, Dick Burke. Hanno due figli: Dylan e Miles.
