Ellen Greene plays Aunt Vivian on Pushing Daisies.
Greene is perhaps most well known for one of her earliest Hollywood roles in Little Shop of Horrors (1986), reprising her Off-Broadway role as Audrey. She began her career as a cabaret performer, and has since appeared in a number of stage musicals. Her work in television includes The Adventures of Pete & Pete, Law & Order, The X Files and NBC's Heroes. When she's not shooting Daisies, she's doing the voice of Dolly Gopher on the Cartoon Network live-action/animated series Out of Jimmy's Head with Carlos Alazraqui as Golly Gopher, a role she previously did in its predecessor TV movie, Re-animated with Paul Reubens as Golly.
Greene is married to Christian Klikovits, who played piano on her rendition of "Morning Has Broken" in "Smell of Success".
