Slog - Comments on The Countdown Begins: Three Days Until The Stranger Gong Show http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/04/the_countdown_begins_three_days_until_th Attention talented freaks and those who love to gawk at them: This Thursday, April 12 at the Crocodile Cafe, The Stranger will be presenting its first-ever Gong Show, hosted by yours truly. This means we're looking for any and all unique and entertaining acts hungry to strut their stuff before a panel of drunken judges for fabulous prizes. This means jugglers, magicians, yodelers, strongmen, stand-up comics, clog dancers, air bands, contortionists, jug bands, sword swallowers, vaudeville acts, and anyone else with an act that's under four minutes long and doesn't involve fire or minors.

Could it actually be TV's Blair Brown?? (Days and Nights of Molly Dodd) Seems unlikely, yet that voice is dead-on, and the looks/age would match too. She also now does a lot of voiceover work, which would be a natural extension of this act: http://www.peacetalksonline.org/Blair.jpg

She was in a couple sub-B movies like "Reform School Girls" and one of those Billy Jack movies.
