Clara Mamet (born September 29, 1994)[1] is an American actress and musician best known for her role as Amber Weaver in the ABC television comedy The Neighbors.[2]
Mamet was born in Randolph, Vermont, the daughter of playwright David Mamet and actress Rebecca Pidgeon, and is the half-sister of actress Zosia Mamet.[3] She has another half-sister, Willa Mamet, and a brother, Noah Mamet.[4] Her father was born to a Jewish family and her mother converted to Judaism.[5]
Mamet became legally emancipated at 15 so she could leave high school at 16 to pursue her career to become a playwright and actress.[6][3] She started auditioning for acting parts when she was 14, but "nobody had ever hired me before. So I thought I'd hire myself" by writing roles.[7] Mamet wrote, directed and starred in her first film, Two-Bit Waltz (2014), a semi-autobiographical movie with William H. Macy, her mother Rebecca Pidgeon, and Jared Gilman.[8] Mamet has also written plays, Paris and The Solvit Kids, the latter co-written with Jack Quaid.[7]
In September 2015, it was revealed Mamet had been cast in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising.[9] Since then, she has had other roles.
