For over forty years, Faith Prince has captivated audiences on stage and screen with a range of memorable comedic and dramatic performances. She quickly gained Broadway acclaim after winning a Tony Award, Drama Desk, and Outer Critics Circle Award for her portrayal of Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls, directed by Jerry Zaks. Since then, she has remained one of the most active leading ladies in American musical theater. For her Broadway debut in Jerome Robbins Broadway, she earned nominations for her first Tony Award and Drama Desk Award. She has since appeared in more than a dozen Broadway productions, including Nick & Nora (Outer Critics Circle nomination), Guys and Dolls, What's Wrong With This Picture, The King and I, Little Me, James Joyce's The Dead, Bells Are Ringing (Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics nominations), Noises Off, Disney's The Little Mermaid, A Catered Affair (Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics nominations), Annie, and Disaster.

On screen, Ms. Prince made her television debut opposite Pierce Brosnan on the hit series Remington Steele, followed by her role as Angela Virago in the 1985 film The Last Dragon. Her film credits include Dave with Kevin Kline, My Father the Hero with Gerard Depardieu, Picture Perfect with Jennifer Aniston, Our Very Own, It Had to Be You, Material Girls, and Disney's TinkerBell and the Great Fairy Rescue. She is perhaps best known for her vibrant television characters, such as Nellie Cantrell on the 2022 Fox series Monarch and Judith Robertson in Emily in Paris, as well as Kristy Swenson in Scream Queens, Elaine Bingum in Drop Dead Diva, Claudia in Spin City, Kelly Knippers in Huff, and appearances on Modern Family, CSI, Ugly Betty, Grey's Anatomy, Monk, House, Now and Again, and recent TV movies including Dear Christmas for Lifetime.
