Actress and Comic Mary Lynn Rajskub Speaks Openly About Being Bisexual

Probably best known for playing Chloe O’Brien on the Fox hit 24, Mary Lyn Rajskub has been acting consistently since the mid-1990s. The 41-year-old mom is now speaking openly about meeting her first real girlfriend shortly before her career began to take off.

The actress and comic opened up about her history withwomen and her relationship with on-again, off-again girlfriend Heather recently on her podcast, Kickin’ it Mary Lynn Style. “Recently I went through all my stuff in the entire house and went through everything damaged or unuseful or I don't love,” she says.” That's how I ended up looking through this box of photos and then, Oh! It’s the hot waitress from El Torito Grill. I dated her. Yeah, that happened. I mean I liked my life in the '90s but I didn't feel like going back there."

While doing press for the 2009 film Sunshine Cleaning, in which her character played lesbian opposite Emily Blunt’s, Rajskub told the Advocate that she’d had “experiences” with women. She chatted with AfterEllen about why she’s speaking more openly about her bisexuality these days.

"I'm more settled now in my life, which makes me feel — maybe because I'm more secure, I'm more comfortable talking about it," Rajskub told AfterEllen.
