Many know her as Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s wife – but she’s also famous in Hollywood
In my opinion, one of the smartest and funniest sitcoms ever produced is Curb Your Enthusiasm. Larry David and Cheryl Hines’s relationship is one of the things that makes Curb so fantastic.
These two have as much smart banter and intense affectionate tension as any late-night police procedural or legal thriller.
Prior to finding fame on television, Cheryl spent years rising through the acting ranks; but, recently, attention has been drawn to her union with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and her encounter with Fidel Castro.
In addition to earning a respectable salary as a Hollywood actress, Cheryl is a member of a family that is recognized as “American royalty” because of her union with Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
However, Cheryl really had to work hard to get her position in the entertainment business.
She was reared as a Catholic and was born in Miami Beach, Florida, on September 21, 1965. She then moved to Tallahassee. Although Cheryl, her sister, and her two brothers didn’t have much money, they were all expected to go to college and succeed.
Cheryl had a passion for acting since she was young and participated in the Young Actors Theatre all through high school. Looking back, Cheryl claimed that her father James Hines was largely responsible for her humorous nature.
He undoubtedly introduced me to humor and what it meant to be hilarious for the first time. After her father passed away in 2015, Cheryl remarked, “He was quick-witted with his own set of phrases and made us laugh until the very end.”
She relocated to Los Angeles to pursue her acting career after earning her degree from the University of Central Florida. However, it wasn’t simple for the aspirational, youthful Tallahassee actress. She earned a living as a waitress, television reporter, and telephone operator prior to her big break in Hollywood.
She also served as Rob Reiner’s personal assistant for a little while.
She was an unpaid intern trying to establish herself in L.A. She spent her days looking through headshots.
Cheryl experienced firsthand the cynicism of Hollywood during that time. One female employer went so far as to advise her to “get a boob job” because if she didn’t, she wouldn’t stand a chance in the field.
“I hadn’t given it much thought at the time, and it didn’t seem necessary,” the woman remarked. After returning home, I began to consider if my admiration for these women was influenced by my breast size. Similar to saying, “Goldie Hawn doesn’t have big ones,” Cheryl said to Yahoo.
Ultimately, Cheryl made the decision that she wasn’t “dying to be on Baywatch” and chose against having surgery.
After Cheryl started doing skits and improvised comedy at The Groundlings Theater, her career really took off.
