Biography

Karen Pittman is an accomplished actress who has made a significant impact in the world of entertainment, boasting an impressive repertoire of work on Broadway, American television, and cinema. Born in Mississippi, she spent her formative years in Nashville, Tennessee, where she developed a strong foundation for her future endeavors.

Pittman's academic background is equally impressive, with a Bachelor of Science in Voice and Opera from Northwestern University and a Master of Fine Arts from NYU's Graduate Acting Program. Her extensive training has enabled her to excel in a variety of roles, from the critically acclaimed play "Pipeline" at Live at Lincoln Center to the TONY-nominated and Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway play "Disgraced".

Throughout her career, Pittman has demonstrated her versatility by taking on memorable character roles in popular television shows such as "The Americans", "Luke Cage", and "Yellowstone".
