…is an Army brat, born and raised.  Rough and brusque? So what?  She’s the kind of gal you want with you when bad things happen—because rough and brusque go a long way to protect you when things go wrong.

Deborah Unger’s artistic journey has been as dynamic as it is enduring. She began her career with dreams of musical comedy stardom, crafting and performing cabaret shows in the vibrant Village scene. From there, she transitioned to film and television, debuting in Ragtime and continuing with roles in 911: Lone Star, FBI: Most Wanted, and her personal favorite, Olga, the Penguin’s Russian maid in Gotham. Her film credits include acclaimed projects such as Motherless Brooklyn, Eighth Grade, and the Oscar-winning Birdman.

Now, Deborah has returned to her theater roots with The Longer My Mother is Dead the More I Like Her, a deeply personal work 15 years in the making (with a healthy dose of self-therapy along the way). After its successful debut at the Spark Theatre Festival, Deborah brings this poignant and darkly funny piece to The Flea Theatre for its off-Broadway premiere.
