Molly Parker (born July 17, 1972, in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, Canada) is a Canadian actress notable for her roles in Canadian and American independent films and for her roles in the HBO television series Deadwood and Six Feet Under. She first came to public attention in the 1996 Lynne Stopkewich film Kissed, in which Parker starred as a sympathetically portrayed necrophiliac. She received a Genie Award, Canada's equivalent to the Oscar, for her performance in the movie.
Parker has received much critical praise for her bravery in tackling difficult roles; for instance the aforementioned necrophiliac, a sympathetic lap dancer and paid escort in The Center of the World, and a female rabbi, Ari Hoffman on Six Feet Under.
