Beef premieres on Thursday, April 6, and is bound to become a big hit for Netflix as the acclaimed series is generating significant buzz and boasts an excellent cast. While Steven Yeun and Ali Wong are the stars, there’s no denying that Maria Bello is a terrific addition to the cast as Amy’s boss, Jordan.

Maria Bello was born in Norristown, Pennsylvania on April 18, 1967, making the actress of Italian and Polish descent 55 years old as of April 2023. She attended Villanova University, an Augustinian Catholic school in Pennsylvania, and majored in political science, intending to become a lawyer, but fell in love with acting during her senior year.

Maria Bello is 5 feet 5 inches tall, almost the same height as her Beef co-star Ashley Park. But as you might have noticed while watching the show, she’s five inches taller than her other co-star, Ali Wong.

Maria Bello is not married yet, but she is engaged to Dominique Crenn. Crenn is a famous French chef whose restaurant, Atelier Crenn, boasts three Michelin stars. She previously competed in the Netflix series Iron Chef: Quest for an Iron Legend.

Maria Bello has been acting in Hollywood for decades and is considered an acclaimed actress. She’s appeared in over 60 projects since 1991, including Coyote Ugly, Lights Out, The Cooler, A History of Violence, Prisoners, Grown Ups, ER, and more.

If you’re like me and have seen Coyote Ugly a million times, you probably recognize her as Lil. ER fans know her as Dr. Anna Del Ami, while NCIS viewers might recall her playing Jack Sloane in seasons 15 through 18. She recently served as a producer and story writer on the acclaimed 2022 film The Woman King starring Viola Davis.
