Mimi has been busy since Dharma&Greg ended, moving from artifice to real-life. In 2003 she plunged into politics to support and accompany peace candidate Dennis Kucinich during his Democratic primary campaign highlighting the need to end the disastrous war in Iraq. She was asked, by Tim Carpenter, to be Chair of the Advisory Board of a new group, Progressive Democrats of America, whose mission would be to take the progressive agenda from the Democratic primaries into the center of the party, renewing its soul with a call to peace, justice and integrity.
Blogged articles she's authored can be seen at www.huffingtonpost.com and www.pdamerica.org. She has continued in television, making guest appearances in the 2006-2007 television season on House, Cold Case, Grey's Anatomy and Medium (and some have caught her beneath-the-radar appearances on Young&The Restless, produced by her friend Lynn Marie Latham, former producer of Savannah, Knots Landing and Homefront.)
She starred, on the LA Stage, in Wendy Graf's LEIPZIG, playing a Boston Irish journalist who discovers that she is Jewish, when her elderly mother descends into Alzheimers and prays in Hebrew. With "Dharma & Greg" in syndication and its groundbreaking first season now available on DVD, the nurturing spirit of the character Abby Finkelstein lives on, inspiring hope in a world that will better reflect that playful yet profound loving care.
Kennedy's career has included Broadway stage, musical and drama; primetime television drama, variety shows and comedy series; Oscar-winning feature film, and behind-the-scenes work as a story-editor and voice-over artist as well as publication as a respected author. She has raised two children, now grown, with her teacher-husband of almost three decades.

Mimi as Laura Bush

In October 2004 Mimi launched Progressive Democrats of America's first Hollywood fundraiser with a star-studded, sold-out, one-night-only performance of Tony Kushner's "Only We Who Guard The Mystery Shall Be Unhappy" that also included Sally Field, John Glover and Charlayne Woodard. Mr. Kushner, in an interview, said he composed the piece in fury one sleepless night during the build-up to war in Iraq, hoping it would have a short shelf-life, expiration date Nov. 2, 2004. Alas. But his brilliant work helped fertilize the organizing of nearly a hundred thousand PDA activists across the nation.
