Mimi...where is she now?

Kathy Kinney was supposed to play Mimi on the Drew Carey show for just a short time but things changed and she became a regular on the show.  She says the cast became like a family to her.  Today she doesn't wear makeup; not even a little blue eye shadow.  She's written a book called, "Queen of Your Own Life" and she can be found reading children's books on MrsP.com as the character Mrs. P.  Kathy
