Streaming Stars, Then and Now

Kate Micucci was born in New Jersey and spent most of her school years in Pennsylvania. As a kid, she focused on playing outside in the woods and playing classical piano. In college, she majored in art, focusing on painting and making puppets. She received an A.A. in Fine Arts from Keystone College.

After a small stint watering banana and pineapple plants in Hawaii, Kate decided to go to Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, where she made more puppets and received a B.A. in Studio Art. Since 2008 she has resided in Los Angeles, where she has a steady gig building sandcastles. She also works as an actor and can be found around town playing the ukulele.

Kate is the co-creator and co-star of the group "Garfunkel and Oates", which she created with Riki Lindhome. The girls were named one of Variety's Comics to Watch in 2010, and their two-woman show regularly sold out at Largo, UCB, Meltdown, and Super Serious Show. The IFC series Garfunkel and Oates, which the girls also co-created, wrote and starred in, was IFC's third highest series premiere in the network's history. In addition to comedy, Kate and Riki have written songs for Universal's "Search Party", Paramount's "SpongeBob SquarePants" animated feature, and "The Big Bang Theory". Kate has also appeared in the film "When in Rome" and has a recurring role on the television show Raising Hope. Most recently she wrapped filming the lead role in "Unleashed", directed by Finn Taylor; Mike Birbiglia's "Don't Think Twice", which premiered at SXSW; "Easy," the Joe Swanberg anthology for Netflix; and Jeff Baena's new film "The Little Hours", which premiered at Sundance.

There have been moments where I&#39;m like, &#39;I don&#39;t know how I&#39;m going to survive and pay next month&#39;s rent.&#39; And the next month I&#39;m filming a movie in New York City.

I secretly wanted to act. I also wanted be a toy designer and make puppets.

I never thought of myself as a singer, like ever, ever, ever. It&#39;s hysterical that I sing.

[nuns and sex] ...I had an ex-nun once tell me that she would pray so hard it would feel like she was having sex with God. And I was like, &quot;Whoa!&quot; I remember she told me this and I was like, 20. And I still hadn&#39;t had sex, so I said, &quot;OK, so ... if I pray enough?&quot;

[why she took the role in the sex comedy The Little Hours (2017)] For me, I&#39;ve always wanted to be a nun. I mean, I think about what it&#39;s like to be a nun. And I&#39;ve always been fascinated with nuns and I have a nun collection, I&#39;ve been collecting nuns for 20 years. And I have a song that I wrote, &quot;I Wanna Be a Nun,&quot; when I was 25. And then so when they called me, and my manager said, &quot;Hey, they want you to be on this nun movie,&quot; I literally said, &quot;Nun as in n-u-n?&quot; And he said &quot;Yeah,&quot; and I was like, &quot;You know I have a nun collection, right? And he said, &quot;How would I know that?&quot; And so anyway, for me, selfishly, I was just so excited to play a nun.
