The New York Times has called her, “…a living, breathing bonfire,” and even after 25 years, her flame has yet to go out. Sandra Bernhard has had quite a diversified career as a comedian, singer, actress and author. In 1983, she was cast in her first film, The King of Comedy, directed by Martin Scorsese. Since then, Bernhard has appeared in numerous other films including Inside Monkey Zetterland, Hudson Hawk, and more recently, Dinner Rush. Bernhard is well known for her wide array of television appearances as well. From 1991-1996, she acted as Nancy on Roseanne, and had guest starring roles on Ally McBeal and Will and Grace


In 1998, Bernhard starred in a critically acclaimed Broadway hit, I’m Still Here…Damn It! and in 2001, she hosted her very own talk show on A&E aptly named, The Sandra Bernhard Experience, bringing her one woman show to television. While Bernhard is known for her antagonistic delivery on screen and on stage, she has also portrayed an introspective persona on paper including in her books, Confessions of a Pretty Lady and Love, Love, and Love.
