‘The Practice’ Star Camryn Manheim, 65, Hits the Red Carpet and We Almost Didn’t Recognize Her

Camryn Manheim skyrocketed to fame in the ’90s on the ABC series The Practice, but we barely recognized her in a new red carpet appearance.

Manheim, 65, played Ellenor Frutt on The Practice, which followed a group of Boston lawyers as they navigated their lives and loves amid their complex careers. The actress won an Emmy in 1998 for best supporting actress in a drama series, and went viral for her “This is for all the fat girls!” Emmy speech. 28 years later, the actress hit the red carpet at the Women’s Guild Cedars-Sinai 2026 Spring Luncheon at The Beverly Hills Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. Sporting a chic navy-and-white suit, we did a double-take before realizing it was Manheim. With that smile, she’s beautiful at any size!

Manheim’s Son is a Rising Star

Camryn’s son, Milo Manheim, 25, is a rising star. Known for the Disney Channel original movie Zombies and its subsequent sequels, he took an interest in the industry thanks to his mom.

“I grew up on set with my mom and I love the fact that we can have deep conversations about the craft of acting. It’s one of the things that really connects us, one of our deepest passions,” he told PEOPLE in 2024. “She’s a single mom. I’m an only child. I spent the first 18 years of my life with her every day. What makes our connection so special is that we’re both willing to put in the work and that we have spent so many years actively working on our relationship…. We make each other better, bottom line.”

Back in March, he honored his mom for her birthday with a sweet post.

“I’ve said this many times and will say it many more…but it’s no coincidence your birthday falls on International Women’s Day. Thank you for including me when you’re fighting injustice and for teaching me everything I know. I love you🤍,” Milo wrote.
