Felicity Huffman is an Oscar-nominated American actress. She is known for her role as Lynette Scavo, the hectic busy Super-Mom on the ABC hit show Desperate Housewives, which earned her an Emmy Award. A year later, her role as a transwoman in the independent film Transamerica earned her a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination, and was praised by many critics. Huffman won eight significant awards, and was nominated ten times.

Huffman is married to actor William H. Macy, on September 6, 1997. She has appeared on television, in movies, and on stage many times with her husband, such as on the TV show Sports Night and in the movie Magnolia. The couple has become the subject of a running gag on the satirical news show The Colbert Report, in which the couple (who live a quiet life outside the media spotlight) are regularly referenced as representing the greatest of today's celebrity couples in a culture obsessed with celebs. Colbert refers to the couple as "Filliam H. Muffman", a play on the current trend by media types to combine the names of major celebrity couples, in the mold of "Bennifer", "Brangelina" and "TomKat."

Born December 9, 1962, her primary personality traits are represented by the Chinese Zodiac elemental animal sign, the Water Tiger. The Water Tiger more resembles a pussycat than a jungle cat. She may be a bit "wishy washy" compared to other Tigers, but her excellent judgment, look before she leaps attitude, and increased flexibility more than make up for this. And, her relatively easy going nature makes her a fun companion. Also, there's a good chance she is quite intuitive.
