ANA GASTEYER (Betsy Heron) will next be seen on the big screen in "Raising Helen,” directed by Garry Marshall. Her previous film credits include “What Women Want,” with Mel Gibson, “Woman on Top,” “Dick” and “What’s the Worst That Could Happen?,” opposite John Leguizamo and Martin Lawrence.
Gasteyer is best known for her incomparable work on “Saturday Night Live.” During her six-year stint, she created some of the most famous “SNL” characters, including middle school music teacher Bobbi Moughan-Culp, "NPR” radio host Margaret Jo, Lilith Fair poetess Cinder Calhoun, as well as spot-on impressions of Martha Stewart, Celine Dion and Hillary Rodham Clinton.
On stage, Gasteyer most recently garnered rave reviews playing the legendary role of Fanny Brice in “Funny Girl” at Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera. Other stage credits include Eve Ensler’s acclaimed Off-Broadway hit “The Vagina Monologues.” Following her triumphant Broadway debut as Columbia in “The Rocky Horror Show,” Gasteyer has continued her work on the New York stage in Manhattan Theatre Club’s hit production of “Kimberly Akimbo” by celebrated playwright David Lindsay-Abaire. Most recently, she starred Off-Broadway with Anna Paquin in "Roulette,” written by Paul Weitz (co-writer/co-director of “About a Boy”).
In the fall of 2002, she co-starred in the one-night-only, star-studded “Funny Girl” Actors Fund benefit concert, joining Whoopi Goldberg, Ricki Lake, Jane Krakowski and others as one of the many celebrities tag-teaming the role of Fanny B rice.
Prior to joining "SNL,” Gasteyer honed her comedy skills at The Groundlings, the famed Los Angeles improv-sketch comedy group.
In addition, “Let It Rip!,” Gasteyer’s one-woman musical extravaganza, will encore this spring at Joe’s Pub in New York City.
