I am grateful I know so many inspiring FCW … Mary Birdsong is one… here’s an recent article about her … FCW are everywhere!!
Mary Birdsong may possibly be one of the most talented women in America. She is an actor who has graced both stage and screen. She has starred opposite Martin Short on Broadway and she was recently featured in Made of Honor with Patrick Dempsey, who was in a film called Can’t Buy Me Love. Her character Cherisha Kimball on Comedy Central’s Reno 911 (which returns with all-new episodes on May 22) is the quintessential girl-next-door, if you live next door to a lady that wears a uniform and is a bit bisexual, asexual and lesbian all rolled-up into one fun-filled package with a Southern accent.
She was also in one of the greatest alt.country bands of the past decade, Cottonhead, and her new band/performance-art project 99 Cent Whore is probably the coolest thing that you aren’t listening to currently.
If she had spare time, she would probably be finding a cure for cancer and dealing with the current global warming trend/conspiracy. Mary Birdsong does more before Tuesday at 11 a.m. than you will probably be doing all week. And she is also quite lovely and one the coolest people that old Pop-Rock Candy Mountain has ever talked to on the rotary phone. We would throw her a ticker-tape parade if we could.
