Mishka Noelle McCortney, a talented individual, was born in Raritan, New Jersey, but her early life was marked by frequent moves, eventually settling in the charming town of Paradise, California.
Raised primarily by her "eccentric, mystical mother", Mishka's upbringing was unique, with her father, who resided in a van, making sporadic appearances throughout her childhood.
Mishka pursued higher education, enrolling in theatre and journalism programs at Butte College and California State University in Chico. However, as she delved deeper into her studies, she became increasingly eager to transition into the professional world.
With her trusty mutt by her side, Mishka relocated to Los Angeles, where she made a name for herself in the entertainment industry. Her breakthrough role came in the feature film "The Survival Games", in which she claims to have experienced her first on-screen kiss, a moment she found unsettling.
Mishka's creative endeavors extend beyond acting. She co-founded the sketch comedy duo Dropouts Comedy, alongside writer-actor-producer Lance Paullin, whom she later married. Together, they created and starred in sketches, showcasing their comedic talents.
As Mischa Paullin, she occasionally takes the stage, performing stand-up comedy in Los Angeles. Additionally, she serves as a writer, producer, and comedian on The Jimmy Dore Show, a platform that has allowed her to hone her skills and connect with audiences.
Throughout her journey, Mishka has remained committed to her craft, exploring various mediums and formats to express herself creatively. Her dedication and perseverance have enabled her to build a successful career in the entertainment industry.
