The ex-Saturday Night Live star famous for her stuffy Martha Stewart lets loose as Mae Coleman in the movie musical Reefer Madness, a blood-soaked cautionary tale that she calls ''Roger Corman and Mel Brooks and Andrew Lloyd Webber meeting in one big hell party.'' Sure, kids, drugs are bad but her performance is revelatory. Here are three things we (and you?) didn't know the 38-year-old star could do.
She sings. . .for real
''I was a voice major for a year, but I lost my way through the sordid
life of a comedian.'' (Next up: She heads to Chicago to play Elphaba in
Wicked.)
She vamps it up
''It's fun to play slutty people. Everybody thinks I'm 50 from SNL,
'cause I played so many old ladies.''
She swings a mean hoe
''I had to rehearse, constantly, with that friggin' bow stick. I don't
think that I've ever worked so hard in my life. Whacking myself in the
head and face.''
