Marcia Mitzman Gaven
Marcia Mitzman Gaven (born February 28, 1959) is an award-winning American actress from New York. Since studying at the High School of Performing Arts and the State University of New York at Purchase, she has appeared in many musicals during her career singing in both mezzo-soprano and soprano roles. Her Broadway debut came in 1979 when she played Betty Rizzo in ''Grease'', serving as the replacement for the original actress of the role. In the 1980s she appeared in the musicals ''The Rocky Horror Show'', ''Oliver!'', ''Zorba'', ''Nine'', ''Anything Goes'', ''Chess'', and ''Welcome to the Club'', and in the operas ''Brigadoon'', ''South Pacific'', and ''Sweeney Todd''.
In 1992, Gaven played the character Mrs. Walker in a new production called ''The Who's Tommy'' at La Jolla Playhouse. The musical was a success, resulting in its move to Broadway in 1993. Gaven was praised by critics for her performance and received a Tony Award nomination in the "Best Featured Actress in a Musical" category. She eventually had to leave ''The Who's Tommy'' before its Broadway run ended because of an allergic reaction to a smoke effect used in the show. In 1995, she won an Ovation Award and a Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for her portrayal of Florence Vassy in ''Chess'' at Hudson Theatre. She was also awarded an Ovation Award for the role of Mother in the staging of the musical ''Ragtime'' at Shubert Theatre in 1997. Gaven's latest role in a musical was in a 2001 production of ''1776'' by UCLA's Freud Playhouse. Since then she has appeared in concerts and fundraisers.
Gaven has also made guest star appearances in numerous television shows and films, playing both live-action and animated roles. She voiced several characters in the animated series ''The Simpsons'' from 1999 until 2002, including Maude Flanders, Helen Lovejoy, Miss Hoover, and others. She was hired after Maggie Roswell departed from the show, due to a pay dispute. She has not been heard on the show since Roswell's return in 2002. Gaven has also lent her voice to television and radio advertisements. She is currently married to Seth Gaven owner of AV Squad, a film marketing company.
==Early life==
Gaven was born as Marcia Mitzman on February 28, 1959 in New York City, New York. She was raised with her two siblings in the village of Hastings-on-Hudson, New York by their mother Patricia Mitzman, who had previously had a career in art. Newt Mitzman, their father, directed television specials and commercials for a living.〔 Gaven went to Hackley Elementary School in Tarrytown, New York when she was young. At that time she was certain that she wanted to work in show business. As the result of a lie, she was able to study at the High School of Performing Arts even though the school was only open to inhabitants of New York City.〔 She then became a drama major at the State University of New York at Purchase, though she did not get a degree. She said in a 1987 interview with ''The New York Times'' that "they kicked me out because I missed a major rehearsal", and she never applied for readmission since she had already made her first appearance on Broadway in ''Grease'' by then.〔 While at Purchase, Gaven performed in student productions such as ''The Taming of the Shrew'' and ''Trumpets and Drums''.〔
