Mimi's enduring career as a singer and a comedienne started on August 28, 1958 when she and her partner, Phil Ford, appeared on "THE TONIGHT SHOW" for the first time. Mimi sang "Till There Was You", Jack Paar cried and Ford and Hines were in instant demand, frequently appearing on that show and many others. Mimi parlayed her career by replacing Barbra Streisand on Broadway in "FUNNY GIRL", running this star vehicle for 18 months on her own star power. Mimi continues to headline in nightclubs and concert halls throughout the world, most recently at Feinstein's at the Regency.
Mimi, who was born in Vancouver, currently resides in Las Vegas when she is not on tour.
And, yes, she still does her classic impression of the NBC Peacock upon request.
