Like many artists, Zoe Kazan was drawn to acting at an early age:
"I saved all of my money from babysitting and being a camp counselor, and paid for my own acting classes and took the bus before I could drive to acting class.

Zoe Swicord Kazan was born in Los Angeles, California, to screenwriters Nicholas Kazan and Robin Swicord. She received her BA in Theater from Yale University.
