Then Mamie Gummer played with co-star Kate Burton in the play “The Water’s Edge”, and was nominated for Lucille Lortel Award in the category of Outstanding Featured Actress. In 2006, she had a small role as a secretary in “The Hoax” by Lasse Hallström, so her net worth was now well established.
In the film “Evening” released in 2007, she played Lila Wittenborn during the scenes set in the 1950s, with her mother Meryl playing the character when the action moves to the 2000s. In 2008, she starred as Sally Smith Adams in the mini – series “John Adams”, and thereafter landed roles in series including “A Gifted Man” (2011) and “The Big C” (2012), then played the lawyer Nancy Crozier in the series “The Good Wife” (2010 – 2015), meantime in 2012 starring in the series “Emily Owens, MD”.

Most recently, in 2017 Mamie played Alice in Michael Mitnick’s play “The Siegel” at the South Coast Repertory in Los Angeles, and appeared in the feature film “An Actor Prepares”, also in the main cast. Overall, all the above mentioned engagements in film, television and theatre have added significant sums to the size of Mamie Gummer’s net worth.

I'd like to learn how to cook. I've hauled around this big, old, heavy Martha Stewart cookbook in my suitcase to Cape Cod, L.A., Paris. I don't know what possessed me.

My first day on the set of 'John Adams', I was just supposed to fly to Virginia for a costume fitting. But the director figured, why not shoot it, too? So they threw me into a dress that didn't fit, gave me lines I hadn't seen, in a dialect I didn't know, and two screaming, arching infants.

I watched a lot of old television growing up - a lot of Nick at Nite. I watched 'Rhoda', 'Mary Tyler Moore', and 'I Love Lucy.' Growing up, I loved 'My So Called Life' and was devastated when that went off the air.

All the women that are first born daughters in my family are named Mary, but we've all been given nicknames. I don't know how or why that started, but I'm nicknamed after my great-grandmother, who was Mamie. No one ever calls me Mary, except only if my husband is very serious about something.
