She’s Really Good at Making People Laugh

Born August 26, 1970, this actress made her first claim to fame from her role as Sookie St. James on the hit TV series,
Gilmore Girls. Melissa McCarthy’s movies are often met with great reviews, but her most defining role came from her performance as Molly in Mike and Molly (2010-2016). For that role she earned a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series! Also known for her role as Megan in Bridesmaids (2011), McCarthy earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress, a BAFTA nomination and Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for the same.
More of her movies include, The Back-Up Plan (2010), This is 40 (2012), Identity Thief (2013), The Heat (2013), Tammy (2014), and Ghostbusters (2016).
She Makes Family Priority
McCarthy was born in Plainfield, Illinois but was raised on a farm to a large Irish Catholic family. Her father, Michael McCarthy, carries Irish descent, while her mother, Sandra McCarthy, has English, German and Irish roots.
Melissa McCarthy’s husband and daughters are her main focus when she isn’t filming scenes to make people laugh. On weekends she enjoys taking a break from promoting her movies with her family, doing normal, family things. Balance is key! McCarthy’s husband is Ben Falcone and the two have two daughters: nine-year-old Vivian, and six-year-old Georgette, or “Georgie.”
She Teams Up with Her Husband on Movie Projects
McCarthy and Falcone are a match made in heaven – the two teamed up for Tammy (2014) and The Boss (2016) and are currently working on their upcoming film Life of the Party, which will hit theatres in 2018. This time, the couple won’t be on screen together — McCarthy will be starring in the film, while Falcone will direct off the screenplay the couple wrote together.
The dynamic duo live together in a massive six-bedroom, seven-bedroom house in Toluca Lake, California. They spent a fortune to upgrade the $5 million Spanish colonial home into their dream mansion. Their property includes a brand new 46ft by 16ft swimming pool, a sauna, gym and guest house! Living in the lap of luxury!
