Mare Winningham is an American film and television actress. She credits her first interest in acting to seeing an interview with Kym Karath who played "Gretl" in The Sound of Music on Art Linkletter's television show House Party when she was five or six years old.
Though she was supposed to attend Granada Hills High School, instead Winnigham's mother assisted her in entering Chatsworth High School, as it was renowned for its drama department. In Grade 12 Winningham starred in the school's senior production of The Sound of Music, playing the part of Maria, opposite Kevin Spacey as Captain Von Trapp.
Winningham began her entertaining career as a struggling singer-songwriter. In 1976 she got her break singing the John Lennon-Paul McCartney composition "Here, There, and Everywhere" on "The Gong Show." In 1980 Winningham won a Best Supporting Actress Emmy Award for her role in the critically acclaimed Amber Waves, a TV movie about a rough farmer,Dennis Weaver, who finds he is dying of cancer. In that year she also broke into film in One Trick Pony, starring Paul Simon. In 1983 Winningham was nominated for a Canadian Genie Award for her work in the futuristic 1981 drama Threshold, and appeared in the epic miniseries The Thorn Birds. In 1984 she starred as Helen Keller in Helen Keller: The Miracle Continues.
Winningham achieved greater fame in 1985's St. Elmo's Fire as one of the original "brat pack" alumni. Despite the film's success, she refused to cash in on her teen idol status, and returned to television in the Hallmark Hall of Fame movie, Love Is Never Silent, for which she received an Emmy nomination. Winningham finished the 80s with two Hollywood films, the nuclear disaster drama Miracle Mile (1988), for which she received an Independent Spirit Award nomination in 1989, and the Tom Hanks vehicle Turner & Hooch in 1989. In 1988 Winningham also starred in the Los Angeles stage production of Hurlyburly with Sean Penn and Danny Aiello.
The early 90s brought a number of forgettable television projects as Winningham took a break to be with her husband, William Maple, and five children. She returned to film for 1994's all-star Wyatt Earp and the family drama The War, both starring Kevin Costner.
Since then she made acclaimed appearances on the series "ER" and "Law and Order: SVU," as well as appearances in the 2001 television project Sally Hemmings, opposite Sam Neill and the short-lived David E. Kelley series "The Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire." Winningham's most recent project is the independent film Dandelion, which was a staple of film festivals worldwide between 2003 and 2004.
