Someone who I really look up to is Tina Fey. I don’t usually have idols in Hollywood, but despite being a hilarious actress, she is someone I hold a lot of respect for. The reason I think she is such a good role model is because of all that she has done for women in comedy. Being a female improviser I have performed all my life amongst the general consensus that “women will never be as funny as men,” and to be honest sometimes I felt that way too. Not since Lucille Ball took a job as a candy maker in I Love Lucy has one female comedian been so well accepted by our country. Tina Fey proved to the world that women in television can do it all, write, act and produce. And she has the awards to prove it too. But most of all, she showed me that just because you’re a little girl from a small town, doesn’t mean you can’t play with the big boys in the big city.
