Barbara Keegan has the distinction of being the only performer ever to receive a special Emmy Award for her work in a local television commercial. She made her Chicago stage debut at age 3, in a duet with her comedy godfather, Danny Kaye. Since that storybook start, she's been entertaining distinguished, discerning, and quite possibly disturbed audiences from Miami to Montreal, from Los Angeles to New York, from San Diego to Singapore.
As a performer, Keegan has had a diverse career, appearing in major motion pictures, television shows, and stage productions. She began her film career with a death scene in her first role, which she considers a lucky omen. She has since appeared in a wide range of films, including CADDYSHACK, THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON, SAVING MR. BANKS, TOMORROWLAND, and STAR TREK.
