Mary Bond Davis??

This afternoon I was half watching MSNBC while cleaning up a bit and they decided to talk about a few of the commercials that will be running during the Super Bowl (AKA Hetero Fest of watching jocks with homosexual tendacies that are rationalized by pads and a ball), and they previwed an ad for STAPLES office supply store wherein employees of a company bribe the man in the store room to get office supplies using verious types of food..

I do belive Mary Bond Davis plays one of the workers..

If it isn't her then I saw a Mary clone.

It was hard to tell cause she only appears from literally one second and says like 3 words....

I worked with Mary at a "survival" job for about a month in 1999 and she mentioned appearing on The Merv Griffin Show when she was a young girl ... so it shouldn't surprise anyone that she gets work!

The woman's been in about 10 Broadway Shows, "original" casts, including Jelly's Last Jam, Bring in Da Noise, etc., Ragtime, Showboat (Hal's revival) and now Hairspray .... and I've seen her in a Tums commercial ... AND she was the featured vocalist during the ceremony to start the run of the torch during the Olympics, appearing on stage in Washington, DC, and at the end, President Bush came over and talked to her and shook her hand!!

And, finally, (you'd think I'm her biographer!) I saw a Melba Moore interview on Like It Is or whatever that show is called, and Melba told the story of how Mary Bond sent her to the Hair audition and helped Melba navigate through the audition process during her start ....

Mary's got it going ON! ...and she's very nice, too.

Belter, nobody said she doesn't get work...

Maybe you should re-read mine...I did not say you did not like her.

I likey your post BB, it had some good info.

---

Hummmmmm...and yet someone wonders why they get harassed.

---

Etoile, you just proved why nobody likes you. I don't think mentioning that is even funny...I could say some nasty things to you right now, put it is a public forum.

BB, that WAS a great post. I loved it. You said "so it shouldn't surprise anyone that she gets work!" I was telling you we love her and are happy for her. We are not suprised at all.

Namo, you do not count...

MusicMan, where have you seen this silhouette? Intriguing. Please tell us more.

And BT11, I learned at a very tender age not to make life a popularity contest. Perhaps you should too. I don't come on any board to make friends. Sorry, for you, if you do. And your attempted insult means nothing to me. Because I also learned very early in life that I should only respect the opinions of people I respect.

And yes, Namo, you are somebody and you do count.

You can read an interview I did with her at http://www.spouzic.com where she discusses the movie with the Olsen twins mentioned on this thread as well as hairspray and other shows shes been in.

I like etoile too. Back when I was a newbie here asking for suggestions about my NYC trip, etoile was extremely helpful to me with his kind suggestions. And I always enjoy BwayTheatre11's posts. Come on guys, no need to be harsh to each other, at least in public :)

Take care
