Faith Prince (born
August 5,
1957) is an award-winning
American actress and singer known primarily for her work on
Broadway.
She was born in Augusta, Georgia and raised in Lynchburg, Virginia, where she dabbled in theater at E.C. Glass High School. She made her Broadway debut in Jerome Robbins' Broadway (1989) and followed this with a role in the ill-fated Nick & Nora. She fully established herself as a Broadway star with her portrayal of Adelaide in the 1992 revival of Guys and Dolls, for which she won both the Tony and Drama Desk Award as Best Actress in a Musical.
Prince has appeared in the films The Last Dragon (1985), Dave (1993), Picture Perfect (1997), and Our Very Own (2005), among others.
Her television credits include the shortlived
High Society (1995) opposite
Jean Smart, recurring roles on
Spin City (1997-2000) and
Huff (2004-2005), in addition to guest appearances on
Remington Steele,
Law & Order,
Monk,
House, and
Grey's Anatomy.
A live recording of her 2005 cabaret debut at Joe's Pub (located in The Public Theater complex in lower Manhattan), entitled A Leap of Faith, was released on the DRG Records label. She also participated in studio recordings of the scores from the ill-fated Broadway musical version of Breakfast at Tiffany's and Jerry Herman's unproduced project, Miss Spectacular.
Prince is married to
