Born in New York City; educated at the Actors Studio, New York. A great underutilized talent in features, this stage-trained actress has shone in numerous TV movies, miniseries, and music-oriented specials. America first discovered Warren as a fresh-faced ingenue; she was a radiant "Cinderella" (CBS, 1967) in the now classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical TV special. That same year, Warren made her feature debut in THE HAPPIEST MILLIONAIRE, a Disney musical starring Fred MacMurray. She followed up with another Disney songfest, THE ONE AND ONLY, GENUINE, ORIGINAL FAMILY BAND (1968) before devoting most of her time to TV, appearing in TV movies, busted pilots, miniseries and guest spots. Though feature assignments were few and far between -- only three between 1968 and 1982: PICKUP ON 101 (1972), HARRY AND WALTER GO TO NEW YORK (1976) and RACE FOR THE YANKEE ZEPHYR (1981) -- TV realized Warren's potential as a lead. She played Dana Lambert for two seasons on "Mission: Impossible" (1970-71). Warren could ennoble some dubious material. She brought conviction, toughness, and sympathy to her portrayals of B-girls, struggling moms, and plucky careerists. Warren's many miniseries credits include "Harold Robbin's 17 Park Avenue" (NBC, 1977), "Beulah Land" (NBC, 1980) and "Evergreen" (NBC, 1985). Her TV movies include such provocative titles as "Portrait of a Stripper" (CBS, 1979), "Portrait of a Showgirl" (CBS, 1982) and "Willing to Kill: The Texas Cheerleader Story" (ABC, 1992). Warren's feature career was revived after an Oscar®-nominated supporting performance in Blake Edwards's VICTOR/VICTORIA (1982). She won critical raves as Norma, the blonde moll of James Garner, evoking memories of Jean Harlow and Jean Hagen (in SINGIN' IN THE RAIN). Warren's subsequent film credits include two Alan Rudolph films, CHOOSE ME and SONGWRITER (both 1984) and the female lead in Mel Brooks's LIFE STINKS (1991). She played the manager of country & western singer George Strait in PURE COUNTRY (1992). Other notable film credits include CLUE (1985, as Miss Scarlet), BURGLAR (1987), COP (1988), COLOR OF NIGHT (1994), BIRD OF PREY (1996), GOING ALL THE WAY (1997), LOVE KILLS and ALL OF IT (both 1998), THE LIMEY and TWIN FALLS IDAHO (both 1999), ROPEWALK and TRIXIE (both 2000), THE MYERSONS, LOSING GRACE, THE QUICKIE and DELIVERING MILO (all 2001), THE QUICKIE, THE MYERSONS and LOSING GRACE (all 2001), SECRETARY and THE FRENCHMAN (both 2002), MY TINY UNIVERSE (2004), CONSTELLATION, WHEN DO WE EAT?, DEEPWATER and THE SHORE (all 2005), and STIFFS and 10th & WOLF (both 2006). She had a recurring role as Sophie Bremmer in the TV series "Desperate Housewives" during its 2005 season. Warren was married to producer Jon Peters from 1967 to 1977. In 2000, she married actor Ronald Taft.  Nominated for Supporting Actress 1982: VICTOR/VICTORIA 1 nomination
