Born in Plainfield, New Jersey, McCormack is the daughter of Norah, a clinical therapist, and William McCormack, an ice cream parlor and car dealership owner. She has one sister, Bridget, who is now a justice of the Michigan Supreme Court, and brother William is also an actor. Unfortunately their parents divorced in 1990.

Although McCormack started acting at a very early age, she was able matriculate from Wardlaw-Hartridge School in Edison New Jersey. Later on, she attended Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut, graduating with a degree in Comparative Arts focusing on painting and creative writing.

McCormack’s acting career started when she was twelve, in Gian Carlo Menotti’s production of “Amahl and the Night Visitors”. To further enhance her craft, she joined the acting program at the William Esper Studio. Her early years as an actress involved a lot of stage productions, which led her to work with New York Theater productions, The Atlantic Theater Company, Naked Angels, and Alice’s 4th Floor, all of which would help her career and net worth.

During the ‘90s, McCormack joined the world of television; in 1995, she became part of the cast of the series “Murder One”, in which she played Justine Appleton until 1997. After her stint on television, she also acted in several films during the late ‘90s, including “Private Parts”, True Crime”, “Deep Impact”, “High Heels and Low Lifes” and “K-Pax”, steadily adding to her net worth.

McCormack returned to television in 2004 when she was cast in the series “The West Wing” as Kate Harper, through the last three seasons of the show until it ended in 2006. One of her most memorable television performance to date came in 2008 when she starred in the series “In Plain Sight”, playing the character of Mary Shannon, and the success of the show lasted through five seasons ending in 2011. Her career in both film and television tremendously helped her wealth all throughout the years.

Aside from a lively career in film and television, McCormack also gained recognition when she joined the Broadway revival of “Boeing Boeing” in 2008. Her performance as Gretchen earned her a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actress in a Play.

Today, McCormack is still active as an actress. She recently appeared in “A Conspiracy on Jekyll Island” and “An American Girls Story – Maryellen 1955: Extraordinary Christmas”.

#Quote
1If you're a caretaker, who are you when there's no one else to take care of?
2I'm not the most delicate - I'm not the most graceful person, and I like playing a sport where being not delicate and not graceful is actually a good thing.
3I've done an informal, anecdotal survey about marriage, and I've found no evidence that it brings happiness.
4I always want to work.
5Really, I'm just a simple girl from Jersey.
6There's nothing more fun than acting on stage with a live audience and that immediate feedback.
7Most women get pregnant and even though it's a challenge physically and uncomfortable, they generally wanted to be pregnant.
8I think it's good for moms to work. I have three daughters, so I like them to see me working and doing something I'm passionate about.
9I'm from durable stock. I'm made to work. I'm Irish.
10I eat anything, especially sweets. Chocolate, cookies, and I love mint-chip ice cream.
11Witness protection just makes for exciting stories and it's a really rich sort of place to grab stories from... people starting over completely, saying goodbye to their lives before... it never ends in terms of story opportunities.
12I love Los Angeles. I love when people make fun of it. I think, 'Good, don't come.' All the jokes about it feel out of date.
13Five years is a long time to play one part.
14You won't believe what our kids are eating in the public schools. It's just nuts.
15I can be a little acerbic.
16I mean one of the weird things about TV and one of the things that some actors don't like but I kind of dig is that you never know where you're headed, I mean you never know what the writer might think of next.
