Mamet is the daughter of American playwright, essayist, screenwriter, and film director David Mamet and actress Lindsay Crouse. Her father is the grandson of Polish Jews[3] and she says her given name is Polish and Russian.[4] Her father is Jewish and her mother is Buddhist, and Mamet identifies as Jewish as well.[citation needed] Her surname is an anglicization of the Turkish name Mahmet.[5][6] Her maternal grandfather was playwright Russel Crouse and her maternal great-grandfather was educator John Erskine. She has a sister, Willa, who is a singer, and two half-siblings: Clara, also an actress and director; and Noah. She lived in New England until age five when her mother moved to Pacific Palisades, California, with Willa and Zosia.[5] After finishing high school, Mamet decided to pursue acting instead of going to college.[7]
In 2012, Mamet was cast by Judd Apatow in the HBO series Girls.
Mamet performed the audiobook The Feral Detective by author Jonathan Lethem. Mamet has also done voice-over work in Star vs. The Forces of Evil, Regular Show, and The Simpsons.
Mamet began dating actor Evan Jonigkeit in 2013.[10][11] They married in October 2016.[12]
At the 2017 Makers Conference, Mamet performed a monologue where she shared her struggle living with undiagnosed pelvic floor dysfunction for six years.[13][14]
