Catherine Ann Keener is an Academy Award-nominated American actress.

Keener, the third of five children, was born in Miami, Florida to Evelyn and Jim Keener, a manager of an automotive store. Keener is of Irish descent on her father's side and of Lebanese descent on her mother's.

Keener officially broke into films with one line in About Last Night (1986). Although she struggled professionally the next few years, one low-quality project had an unexpected dividend. Keener met actor Dermot Mulroney working on Survival Quest (1989) when Mulroney got himself stuck trying to scale a cliff. The two dated and then married in 1990.

Keener has been married to actor Dermot Mulroney since 1990, although the couple separated in September 2005. They have a son named Clyde (b. 1999). In June 2007, Mulroney filed for divorce, citing the reason as irreconcilable differences. She is also close friends with actors Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, Pitt and Keener met while filming Johnny Suede. Keener has homes in Los Angeles and North Carolina.
