Zoë Winters ’07
Zoë Winters ’07 earned two SAG Awards for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series for her role on HBO’s hit show Succession.
Winters played Kerry, the calculating assistant and paramour to patriarch Logan Roy. The Ensemble SAG Awards were in 2022 and 2024.
She recently appeared with Oscar® winner Ben Kingsley, Jane Curtin, and Harriet Harris in the Marc Turtletaub-directed film Jules (2023).
Look for her in the upcoming film by Celine Song, Materialists, starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal, and with Dasha Nekrasova, Marin Ireland, and Louisa Jacobson, currently in production.
And in 2026, Winters shares the spotlight with Elizabeth Olsen and fellow Purchase Theater Arts alum, Carolyn Kettig ’17, in the FX series pilot Seven Sisters, a gripping drama about a tight-knit family forced to confront long-buried secrets.
“Give this girl a vehicle already! Zoë Winters shined as an efficient sports therapist in Red Speedo, a peppily manipulative religious leader in The Harvest and a hot mess grouchily attending a silent retreat in Small Mouth Sounds. While this team player strives in ensembles, her droll humor and Swiss-quality timing make her ready for a lead.”
—Elisabeth Vincentelli, The New York Times
