Biography

From a fierce Park Avenue Magazine editor on the Netflix series, Inventing Anna, to a powerhouse lawyer on the new reboot of Law & Order, to a loving mom in her recurring role as Karen Stone on Manifest, Geraldine Leer embodies rich and complex female characters with timeless appeal.

Small screen to big screen, Off-Broadway to the Hallmark Channel, Geraldine is a true chameleon who is equally adept tackling high stakes drama, Christmas movie magic, and clever comedy.

Hailing from New York City and raised in Texas, she can "bless your heart" with her Southern drawl and Texas two-step with the best of them.

Geraldine began her career playing Lorna in the cult classic, Mystic Pizza, and made her New York theatre debut at The Roundabout. She most recently spent a month in Connecticut shooting One Royal Holiday for the Hallmark Channel, sharing the screen with Broadway veterans Aaron Tveit, Laura Osnes, and Victoria Clark.

She now resides just outside Manhattan and is a happy empty nester. She loves traveling and especially enjoys working in LA where she can have a sandwich at her son Jack's restaurant Ggiata or create TikToks with her social media content creating daughter, Madeline. Offscreen, Geraldine enjoys entertaining, spending quiet time by the lake, and keeping her love of music alive singing gospel in her church choir.
