Kathy Najimy was born to Lebanese American parents, Samia (nee Massery) and Fred Najimy. Her family was Roman Catholic, and she was born in the spirit of that religion. She matriculated from Crawford High School, but devoted herself to other pursuits before becoming an actress on and off-Broadway in the mid-1980s. She emerged as a comedy actress in the early 1990s, and after several small movie parts, Kathy secured a breakthrough role in the comedy film “Sister Act” (1992), playing Sister Mary Patrick alongside Whoopi Goldberg, Maggie Smith, and Harvey Keitel. The film was a huge commercial and critical success, and spawned the sequel “Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit” (1993) in which she also starred. That same year saw Kathy in what would prove to be an iconic role, when she joined the cast of the comedy horror movie “Hocus Pocus” as Mary Sanderson, one of the three sister witches. Bette Middler and Sarah Jessica Parker played the other two sisters, and while the movie failed critically and commercially, it became a beloved cult classic in the following years.
While she continued to appear in movies during the rest of the ‘90s, Kathy also branched out into television and voice acting. She starred as Olive Massery in the sitcom “Veronica’s Closet” from 1997 to 2000, and voiced Peggy Hill in the animated sitcom “King of the Hill” (1997-2010) for thirteen years, which increased her net worth significantly. She guest-starred in a plethora of popular TV shows, starting with Disney’s “That’s So Raven” (2006), and “The Suite Life of Zack and Cody” (2007). She also had the recurring role as Doctor Mildred Finch on CBS’s hit crime procedural show “Numb3rs” (2006-2007).
Her most recent television credits include the short-lived police procedural “Unforgettable” (2015-2016) and the award-winning political satire series “Veep” (2014-present) starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus.
Kathy also had a successful return to the big screen in the early 2000s, appearing in two commercially successful movies, the romantic comedy “The Wedding Planner” (2001) with Jennifer Lopez and Matthew McConaughey, and an ensemble comedy film, “Rat Race” (2001), where her co-star was once again Whoopi Goldberg. She was the voice of Mary in Pixar’s animated feature “WALL-E” (2008), and she played the Evil Queen from Snow White in Disney’s television fantasy film “Descendants” (2015). She has two releases scheduled for 2017, both in comedy genre: “A Change of Heart” and “Dating My Mother”.
Besides her acting work, Kathy has a long history of competing on various game shows in order to raise money for charity. Some of her appearances include the celebrity version of “Weakest Link” (2001), the proceedings of which she donated to Campaign to Stop Gender Apartheid in Afghanistan, and the tournament show “Celebrity Poker Showdown” (2004-2005), from which her winnings went to the charity which fights violence against women.
Regarding her personal life, Kathy has been married to Dan Finnerty, also an actor, since 1995, and with him she has a daughter, named Samia. Najimy is very outspoken about her political beliefs, having been a liberal Democrat and an advocate for the LGBT community and feminism since her youth. She is also a vegetarian, and she frequently speaks against weight shaming and body-image issues in the entertainment industry.

Many viewers also know Karyn Parsons as an actress from “Lush Life” – she not only appeared in it, but was also the co-producer, co-writer and co-creator of the show. However, in the show business industry Karyn has been working for a relatively short span of time, and maybe that is the reason her net worth isn’t rather higher.

Stacy Dash made her debut in 1982 when she appeared in “Farrell for the People” alongside Ed O‘Neill. Then followed such famous shows as “The Cosby Show“, “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” and “TV 101“. Her movie career started with the Richard Pryor film “Moving” (1988). The 80‘s were actually a really successful period for the young actress, since her other two movies, “Mo’ Money” and “Renaissance Man”, were also big hits. Her real big break, however, was in 1995 when she appeared in Amy Heckerling’s “Clueless” as Dionne Marie Davenport. The comedy, which was based on Jane Austen‘s novel “Emma”, was very well received and grossed $55 million, thus increasing Dash’s net worth considerably. The film also made her and fellow actresses Brittany Murphy and Alicia Silverstone true international stars, probably more so as it was soon made into TV series and Dash reprised her role as Dionne. The series ran from 1996 till 1999, and also featured actress and singer Cher. During that period, Stacy also appeared in films like the crime drama “Cold Around the Heart” (1997) and comedy “Personals” (1999). Naturally all of these appearances enhanced Stacy’s net worth.
Stacey Dash is also known for her appearances in music videos.

She did not, however, forget television and appeared in the series “Single Ladies” in the role of Valerie Stokes but, unfortunately, she did not return for the second season. She was also a part of the reality TV show “Celebrity Circus”, in which celebrities had to perform circus tricks. Dash was one of the finalists, finishing second after Antonio Sabato, Jr. In addition, she also had guest roles in “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “The Game”. All these roles in movies and TV shows helped to increase her overall net worth.
Besides her acting career, Stacey Dash also has her own lingerie line “Letters of Marque” and posed for Playboy in 2006.
In her personal life, Stacy Dash was first married to Brian Lovell(1999-2000), and then James Maby(2005-06).
