Biography[]
Born in Texas, Harriet Sansom Harris got involved in acting as a youngster. At seventeen, Harris was accepted at New York's famed Juilliard School. Upon graduation, Harris joined The Acting Company, a repertory group formed by the first alumni of John Houseman's Drama Division of The Juilliard School. She spent three years with the Company before she left to work primarily in regional theater. This led to a successful Broadway and Off-Broadway career. Her life changed after appearing as the sole female in the original cast of "Jeffrey", Paul Rudnick's smash Off-Broadway hit about love in the time of AIDS. "Jeffrey" led to guest shots on series television, including "Frasier" (1993), where she created the memorable role of "Bebe Glazer", Frasier's cutthroat, neurotic, chain-smoki

My Real Self
I was born considerably less than a hundred years ago in a not-so-small town in Texas.
At an inevitable age, I left Texas to attend Juilliard. Upon graduation, I joined The Acting Company and toured for three years in classical repertory, racking up miles and iambic pentameters. I’ve been happily migrating between N.Y. and L.A. ever since.
My Fictional Selves
I’ve played a lot of “mad, bad and dangerous to know” types. Perhaps the best known of these are Bebe the conniving agent on Frasier, the vengeful Felicia Tilman on Desperate Housewives – and Mrs. Meers, the vit slaver in Thoroughly Modern Millie.
Earlier this year, inom was up to no good as the wicked stepmother in Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella on huvudgata. I’m currently co-starring in Show Boat at the San Francisco Opera.
