Clara Mamet (born September 29, 1994)[1] is an American actress and musician best known for her role as Amber Weaver in the ABC television comedy The Neighbors.[2]
Early life
She is the daughter of David Mamet and Rebecca Pidgeon and is the half-sister of actress Zosia Mamet.[3] She has a brother, Noah.[4]
Career
Mamet became legally emancipated at 15 so she could leave high school at 16 to pursue her career to become a playwright and actress.[5][3] She started auditioning for acting parts when she was 14, but "nobody had ever hired me before. So I thought I'd hire myself" by writing roles.[6]
Mamet wrote, directed and starred in her first film, Two-Bit Waltz (2014), a semi-autobiographical movie with William H. Macy, her mother Rebecca Pigeon, and Jared Gilman.[7]
Mamet has also written plays, "Paris" and "The Solvit Kids", the latter of which she co-wrote with Jack Quaid[6]
According to her co-actor, Tim Jo, who plays her love interest Reggie Jackson on the show, she never watches any of her own work.[8]
Mamet and her half-sister Zosia sing as a duo called The Cabin Sisters. They did an unsuccessful Kickstarter campaign to raise money for a music video.[9]
