Even though Backstage West calls her "especially hilarious", Melinda has also received critical acclaim for profoundly dramatic stage roles such as:
Sylvia Plath in "Letters Home" Gladys in Athol Fugard's "A Lesson From Aloes" and title role of Lemon in Wallace Shawn's "Aunt Dan & Lemon". |
Melinda in trailers, films on the festival circuit, music videos, etc:
Gettin' Sugar High (Halloween Rap) ~ Another great project from the non-stop comic geniuses at Back of the Class. This time, for Break.com Melinda plays the Halloween Lady who thinks raisins are a good Halloween treat. Most ironic thing about this video is Melinda actually WOULD give out raisins on Halloween but luckily for the kids in her neighborhood, her husband insists on handing out real candy.
"Graduation Sucks!" - another great music video from Back of the Class with new graduates agonizing over life in the real world. Melinda is "The Mom in Pink" (not suitable for children, but probably suitable and applicable to your college graduates...) 
"Welcome to the Family" -- Melinda was recently cast in a leading role in Tim Bartell's new comedy "Welcome to the Family". The short comedy, created for online viewing and festival runs, will be shot August 2010.
In this comedy, Melinda plays the older, wiser sister whose younger, wilder sister is finally getting married -- to someone she's known for three whole months.

Written about in LA Times, Wall Street Journal and dozens of other newspapers and websites. Big thanks to Brett, Max, Jesse and Dan. Melinda as "mom", she's busy doing the embarassing things mom's do on Facebook. Melinds says she could not possibly have survived being a mom to these guys in real life.
