Suo padre era un dirigente pubblicitario, scrittore e attore, e sua madre era un'insegnante di matematica. Anche i suoi fratelli - Susie Cusack, John Cusack, Ann Cusack e Bill Cusack recitano. La sua famiglia è di origine irlandese.

Cresciuta a Evanston, Illinois, Cusack è stata attivamente incoraggiata a esplorare la sua creatività dai suoi genitori e da bambina si è unita al Piven Theatre Workshop. Ha continuato a imparare e ad esibirsi in improvvisazione allo Story Theater e all'Ark. Successivamente ha frequentato l'Università del Wisconsin-Madison, laureandosi in inglese. Mentre era all'università, Cusack ha ottenuto alcuni piccoli ruoli cinematografici, ma la sua grande occasione è arrivata dopo la laurea, quando è entrata a far parte del cast del leggendario Saturday Night Live.

Nel 1987, ha prodotto una svolta memorabile nell'acclamato Broadcast News (1987), ed è stata nominata all'Oscar per la sua interpretazione in Working Girl (1988).
