Thea Vidale

Vidale is currently in the midst of her controversial national stand up tour appropriately titled "Thea Vidale, Down & Dirty," as well as preparing for a return engagement this August, at the Edinburgh Comedy Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. In addition, she recently guest starred on the hit ABC sitcom "Ellen," in a hilarious episode entitled "Two Mammograms and a Wedding."

Vidale is perhaps best remembered for her primetime ABC sitcom "Thea" for which she was nominated for a People's Choice Award as Favorite Female In A New Series. In the show, Thea portrayed Thea Turrell, a widowed mother of four who works in a Houston supermarket by day and runs a one-chair beauty salon on the corner of her porch in the evenings. The show's appeal was centered in her heart-warming portrayal of a no-nonsense mother shepherding her children through their formative years.
