In my opinion, one of the smartest, funniest sitcoms ever produced is Curb Your Enthusiasm. The relationship between Cheryl Hines and Larry David is one of the things that makes Curb so fantastic.
These two have as much chemistry and affectionate tension as any midnight cop or lawyer show. They also have some sharp one-liners for one another.
Before finding fame on television, Cheryl spent years working her way up the acting ranks, but lately, the spotlight has been on her marriage to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and her encounter with Fidel Castro.
Cheryl’s most well-known role now is arguably that of Larry David’s patient wife in the HBO television series Curb Your Enthusiasm.
As a Hollywood celebrity, Cheryl has amassed a respectable sum of money, and because to her marriage to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., she also belongs to a family that has been dubbed “American royalty.”
However, Cheryl really did have to fight for her position in the entertainment business.
She was reared a Catholic and grew up in Tallahassee. She was born September 21, 1965, in Miami Beach, Florida. Even though the family didn’t have much money, Cheryl, her sister, and her two brothers were expected to go to college and succeed.
Cheryl fell in love with performing when she was young, and she participated in the Young Actors Theatre throughout high school. Cheryl later admitted that her father James Hines was largely responsible for her sense of humor.
“He was definitely my first exposure to comedy, and what it meant to be funny. He was quick-witted with his own set of phrases and made us laugh until the end,” Cheryl said after her father’s passing in 2015.
“Get a boob job”
After graduating from the University of Central Florida, she moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting. But it wasn’t easy for the ambitious, young actress from Tallahassee. Before her break in Hollywood, she made a living as a waitress, television reporter, and telephone operator.
She also served as Rob Reiner’s personal assistant for a brief time.
She worked as an unpaid intern in Los Angeles, trying to establish a name for herself. She spent her days looking through headshots.
Cheryl had the chance to observe the cynicism of Hollywood at that time firsthand. She even received advice from one female manager to “have a breast job” if she wanted to excel in the field.
“At that time, I hadn’t even thought about it — and it did not seem like it was necessary,” she said. “I went home and started thinking about all the actresses that I really admired and whether breast size had anything to do with it. Like: ‘Goldie Hawn doesn’t have big ones,’” Cheryl told Yahoo.
Cheryl finally decided against having surgery since she wasn’t “dying to be on Baywatch.”
HBO decided to continue the show for a 12th season in August 2022.
During her time on Curb, Cheryl, who was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2014, worked on various initiatives. She has acted alongside the late Robin Williams in a number of movies, including the road comedy RV.
In her first major motion picture, RV, Cheryl plays a less-than-happy mother who must suffer a family vacation while confined to a disorganized camper.
”I don’t think my friends believed me when I was going to be co-starring with Robin Williams. Then they saw the previews and said, ’Oh my gosh, you’re in the whole thing,” Cheryl told The Tallahassee Democrat in 2006.
Cheryl, like numerous other witnesses, was astounded by Williams’s goodness and compassion. He included Cheryl and all the other performers on the set, despite the fact that he was the movie’s main character.
”Robin was so nice. As soon as I met him he hugged me and said he was a fan of men from ”Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Cheryl said.
In one of the episodes, Dallas Royce decides to get too much Botox to comedic effect. So the actress wears a silicone forehead, cheeks, and lips – and she looks kind of scary, right?
Fortunately, she could go back to her normal self after the recordings.
Cheryl currently occupies a permanent spot on the I Can See Your Voice panel. We’ll probably continue to see her on our televisions for years to come, regardless of what she comes up with next.
