Biography:Actress "Dinah Manoff" is the daughter of actress/director "Lee Grant" and playwright "Arnold Manoff". A graduate of California School of the Arts, Dinah made her first acting appearance in a PBS special. She won a Tony award as the neurotic daughter of an irresponsible movie screenwriter in "Neil Simon"'s "I Ought to Be in Pictures"; she re-created this role in the 1982 film version, acting opposite "Walter Matthau" and her mother "Lee Grant". On television, Manoff played Elaine Lefkowitz on the serial satire "Soap" (1978-79), securing a niche in TV history as the first sitcom regular to be "murdered" on-camera. "Dinah Manoff" later co-starred as Carol Weston opposite fellow "Soap" alumnus "Richard Mulligan" on the weekly comedy Empty Nest (1988-1993). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
