  Mare Winningham - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Winningham was raised in Northridge, California with three brothers and one sister.
Though born an Irish Catholic, in 2000 Winningham felt her spiritual life was lacking, and, based on a recommendation from a friend, in November 2001 she signed up for a class given by Rabbi Neal Wienberg at the University of Judaism in Los Angeles, California.
Winningham finished the 80s with two Hollywood films, the nuclear disaster drama Miracle Mile (1988), for which she received an Independent Spirit Award nomination in 1989, and the Tom Hanks vehicle Turner and Hooch in 1989.

The film was a very personal project for Jennifer Jason Leigh: it was written by her mother, Barbara Turner, Leigh and Turner co-produced it themselves, and she chose as her co-star her longtime real-life friend Mare Winningham, whom she had known since the age of 13.

Speaking to MetroActive magazine, Winningham said: “I felt incredibly honored and touched to be nominated… But it was hard to be separated from Jennifer, because she was the heart and soul of that film.
