Leah Remini

Leah Remini was born in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, New York. Her parents are Austria-born Vicki Marshall (a former high school principal and current LA restaurant owner) and Italian-American George Remini, owner of an asbestos company (not to be confused with the late Gambino crime family captain George Remini, who died in March 2007).

Remini has an older sister, Nicole Remini (born 1969) who was her assistant on The King of Queens. She also has four half-sisters: Christina Remini (born 1969), Elizabeth Remini (born 1976), Stephanie Remini (born 1977), and Shannon Remini (born 1984). Shannon has acted on Leah's show as a character named "Desiree."

Remini moved to Los Angeles at the age of 13. She tried fitting into her new neighborhood by imitating the look and style of the local Mexican-American culture. When Remini was 14, she left school against the advice of her mother.

At the beginning of her working life, Remini had a variety of jobs, such as waitressing, selling car insurance, and as a telemarketer for a solar heating company.

Remini stands 5' 3" (1.60 m) tall.
