Kathy Najimy

We know her for her hilarious comedy in over 20 films, including the blockbusters Sister Acts 1 and 2, her award-winning roles as actor, writer, and producer, bringing “The Kathy and Mo Show” from the theater to television, and as the voice of “Peggy Hill” in King of the Hill. But there is much more talent brimming to the surface of actress Kathy Najimy.

As the Ms. Magazine “Woman of the Year,” she has been called a “social action hero.” Always on the front lines of progressive social causes, she is driven by her own desire to see all people and animals treated equitably: “First and foremost, I’m a feminist. And basically that stems from a strong belief that all people and creatures deserve equal opportunity, rights and respect.”

A dynamic force, she has been a vocal supporter of women’s rights. Speaking out against sexism and racism, she shares an idealism that we are all equal, connected by our sense of common humanity. An inspiration to anyone who believes in making a difference, Najimy has led the way for AIDS activism for 20 years and been awarded the PETA’s Humanitarian of the Year Award from Paul McCartney.

Delightful and warm, Najimy shares her message with candor and refreshing humor. Her belief in social justice and advocacy encourages us all to work towards making the world a better place.
