My birthday song, my happy world (Part 107)....

 Badass Birthday

In 1964, 61 years ago, in New Jersey, Janeane Garofolo was born. 


She started as a standup comedian and then was in several tv shows, including Saturday Night Live in the 94-95 season.  I'm pretty sure that was my first exposure to her.  She then went on to a whole slew of movies, including Dogma and the very underrated Mystery Men.   She's won two Primetime Emmy awards and a Screen Actor's Guild Award as well.   And she's a political activist for progressive causes. 

But why is she a bad ass.  Because she has a prominent role in the last two season of the West Wing as Louise Thornton who worked on the campaign of Congressman Matt Santos.  Total badass role for a total badass actress.
