Gina Riley (born 6 May 1961) is an Australian actress, writer, singer and comedian, known for portraying Kim Craig in the television series Kath & Kim, and for her work in musical theatre. Riley is married to Rick McKenna and they have a daughter named Maggie (born 1996). who is also an actress, who in 2017 portrayed Muriel in the original Sydney production of Muriel's Wedding, and in 2018 starred as Zoe Murphy in the Dear Evan Hansen US National Tour. In March 2013, Riley revealed she was being treated for breast cancer, following the discovery of a tumour during a yearly check-up late in 2012. It was later reported that it had been found early enough to be treated, and she has since made a full recovery. In contrast to the rest of her Kath & Kim cast (such as Glenn Robbins, Peter Rowsthorn and Magda Szubanski), Riley makes relatively few public appearances as herself. Most of the time she appears in-character as Kim, with Jane Turner. One notable exception was on Enough Rope with Andrew Denton, where she and Turner both appeared as themselves.
