Mary Willa “Mamie” Gummer’s artistic formation combined early exposure to film with formal training in theater and communications at Northwestern University. The eldest daughter of actress Meryl Streep and sculptor Don Gummer, she appeared on screen as a toddler before returning to the stage after graduation, earning the Theatre World Award for Mr. Marmalade in 2006. Her development progressed through a balance of Broadway and Off-Broadway productions, recurring television roles within ensemble casts, and work in limited and anthology series. In film, she has alternated between independent projects and studio productions, collaborating with established directors and actors. Over time, she has shaped a body of work that reflects her own trajectory, distinct from her family’s legacy.
