Marissa Jaret Winokur Is A Malibu Mama



Marissa Jaret Winokur was spotted out in Malibu yesterday with her son Zev, who celebrated his first birthday last month.
The 36-year-old Dance Your Ass Off host is a Tony Award-winning actress known for her performance in the Broadway musical Hairspray as well as her appearance on Season 6 of Dancing With The Stars.
While working on Hairspray, Marissa was diagnosed with cervical cancer, which she kept quiet for fear of being replaced in the musical. Thankfully she made a full recovery and remained in the show.
In March 2008 Marissa and husband Judah Miller announced they were expecting their first child via a surrogate mother. The couple helped with the delivery of their son, Zev Isaac Miller, who was born July 22, 2008.
