Rachel Leah Bloom was born on April 3, 1987 in Los Angeles to Alan and Shelli Bloom. Although born in Los Angeles, Rachel grew up in Manhattan Beach – which surprisingly is located in California and not Manhattan, New York. She comes from a Jewish family. Her father, Alan, is a healthcare lawyer while her mother, Shelli, is a musician – which explains her natural affinity with music.

The young actress attended Mira Costa High School in Manhattan Beach, where she participated in the school’s drama program. After high school, she attended New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts, where she served as director and head writer for Hammerkatz, the school’s largest sketch group. Rachel graduated from college in 2009 with a BFA in theater.

While living in Brooklyn after college, she once shared a room with Ilana Glazer, a comedian and actress best known for her work on Comedy Central. Broad City. After NYU, she performed at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in Los Angeles and New York.

Growing up, Rachel Bloom suffered from mental illness and was diagnosed with anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression. As a result, she championed mental health and spoke candidly about her issues. She criticized the media’s misrepresentation of mental illness as well as social stigma and discrimination.

Rachel Bloom currently has a total net worth of $2 million. Since her career is still in its infancy, this amount will definitely increase as she takes on more roles.

Currently, she is currently the star of the hit CW show, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, as mentioned earlier. Although she also created the show, the actress revealed that she doesn’t earn as much as most people assume. From what she revealed, she makes around $50,000 to $60,000 per episode. On the one hand, this amount is more than many people earn in an entire year, but on the other hand, the amount is a small change from what actors on other comedy shows earn. to success. For comparison, some stars of The Big Bang Theory make as much as $1 million per episode.
