According to sources it has been estimated that Alex Borstein’s net worth is $24 million, as of mid-2016, acquired by voicing and portraying various roles in films and TV series since the early nineties. Since she is still active in the entertainment industry, so her net worth continues to grow.

Alex was raised in Deerfield, Illinois as the youngest of three children in the Borstein family. She is Jewish, plus her mother was from Hungary.

He cast her as the voice of main character Lois Griffin, and several other characters throughout the show. (Alex was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Voice-Over Performance for the character of Lois in the “Lois Comes Out of Her Shell” episode in 2013.) She was cast as Sookie St. James in “Gilmore Girls” comedy-drama TV series in 2000, but was prevented from continuing the role due to her contract with MADtv.

  • Usually, impersonations come out of something you dig, because you’re listening to it over and over. And you kind of start developing… You’re really trying to emulate them, then you realize, ‘I sound ridiculous doing this. Oh, hey, maybe this is a funny impersonation.’
  • Every comic is really a frustrated rock star.
  • I got my degree in rhetoric.
  • I have no point in my system or morals where I say, ‘This is too far.’
  • I think I was born because my parents had two boys and wanted to give it one more go and try for a girl… they got me instead.
