Leah Remini was born in Brooklyn, New York, and moved to Los Angeles with her mother and sisters at the age of 13. Leah left school at 14, with a warning from her mother that it was fine not to achieve at school only if she was going to achieve in life.

At the beginning of her working life, Leah had a variety of jobs, such as waitressing, selling car insurance, and as a telemarketer for a solar heating company. Leah got her first speaking line as an actress on an episode of "Head of the Class", and her acting career has skyrocketed ever since.

After two seasons as co-star in the prime-time NBC comedy "Fired Up", Leah currently has a starring role in the hit CBS comedy, "The King of Queens".
