Meanwhile she branched out to the big screen with a supporting role in the acclaimed independents "Chuck and Buck" (2000) and "Duets" (2000), in which she also served as the karaoke-themed feature's music supervisor and had her first professional opportunity to work with childhood friend Gwyneth Paltrow. She spent the next several years establishing herself as one of the stronger female players in the show's history, with characters like Britannica from the fictitious R&B trio Gemini's Twin (a parody of real-life member-swapping girl group, Destiny's Child), Donatella Versace, and Megan, the love-struck host of her middle school's morning program.

Because of her range, she was promoted to full cast member in the fall of 2001. Rudolph offered a string of performances that showcased her musicality and her ability to morph into a versatile range of extreme characters. After a producer from "Saturday Night Live" caught Rudolph performing at the Groundlings, she auditioned for the show in New York and was brought on as a Featured Performer in the spring of 2000. She hit the audition circuit and landed her first screen roles in the 1997 features "Gattaca" and "As Good As It Gets" before scoring a regular role on the short-lived gritty medical drama "City of Angels" (CBS, 2000). Meanwhile the striking multi-talent began to hone her acting and improv instincts at the Groundlings Theater.

Returning to L.A., Rudolph played keyboards and sang with The Rentals, an indie pop group that fused a college rock sensibility (founder Matt Sharp was the original bassist of Weezer) with a sparse, synth-heavy sound. She pursued another of her creative passions, photography, at the University of California at Santa Cruz, where she also formed the funk band Super Sauce. Her daughter seemed likely to carry on the family legacy, however, by singing and appearing in local theater throughout her childhood. Unfortunately, when Rudolph was just shy of seven years old, her mother lost her battle with breast cancer. Maya Rudolph was born, the only daughter of music writer and producer Richard Rudolph and Chicago soul singer, Minnie Ripperton, who, after having gone into semi-retirement to start a family, hit the top of the pop charts in 1974 with her five-octave AM radio staple, "Lovin' You." (The song, which had begun as a lullaby to the newborn Maya, featured Riperton singing her daughter's name several times as an improvised fade to the song.) At age one, Rudolph moved with her family from her Florida birthplace to Southern California, where her parents furthered their music careers.
