Hate to say but from what I read of her on Wiki the last time she was popular I was about three years old. I had no idea who she was and when I initially saw this I thought she was a Dutch guy.

She did a fabulously funny Hillary during the Clinton years.

Always liked her.

RIP. She did a great Tammy Faye Bakker. Hard to believe she and Phil Hartman are gone.

LOL!

I remember her from some late-night show back in the ‘80s...it might have been on TNT or a similar channel.
She had loads of comedic talent.

Do you mind if I plagiarize that line occasionally?
