Queen Mimi

Queen Mimi is a 2015 documentary film about the life of Marie Haist, an octogenarian homeless woman who lived in a Santa Monica laundromat for 18 years, directed by Yaniv Rokah and produced by Elliot V Kotek.

[7] Queen Mimi is a 2016 soundtrack album from the documentary containing a song by Grammy Award nominee Deana Carter titled "Celebrate Life", written by Ralph Stevens and Deana Carter.

[11] Zach Galifianakis befriended Haist decades before the release of the documentary, paying her rent until her passing for much of this duration despite not yet achieving widespread fame and fortune as a comic for much of this time.

Haist had been rendered homeless in her 50s as a result of a divorce with her husband who had been unfaithful.

Galifianakis maintained a close friendship with Haist, once taking her as a date on the red carpet for his movie The Hangover in 2009.
