Long before playing Mike and Nancy's mother on Stranger Things, Cara Buono had a successful TV career, appearing on series such as Mad Men, The Sopranos, and The Romanoffs. She also recently played Stacey in the sports film Monsters and Men alongside John David Washington and Anthony Ramos. Aside from acting, Buono currently runs Liberty United, an organisation that fashions illegal ammunition and guns provided by the police into jewellery and sends a portion of its sales toward gun violence prevention.
