The Woman Behind Drew Carey's TV Nemesis, Mimi Bobeck

For nine seasons, actress Kathy Kinney played Drew Carey's archnemesis, Mimi Bobeck, on The Drew Carey Show. Best known for her outrageous wardrobe, signature blue eyeshadow and animosity toward Drew, Mimi was a larger-than-life character. Now, 10 years after the series finale aired, Kathy shares an update on her life from Los Angeles.

Mimi may be long gone, but Kathy says she's still recognized by fans of the show. "People will come up to me and say, 'I loved you on that Drew Barrymore show' or 'How's Jim Carey? Do you still see him?'" she says. "And I go, 'Yeah, we're really tight.'"

During production of The Drew Carey Show, Kathy says it was like "Halloween every day" for her. "In my real life, I barely, barely wear lip gloss," she says. "I think I look very Amish and plain."

In the above video, watch as Kathy shares how she landed the role of Mimi.
