This past Thursday, Morgan performed as part of “Say Something Funny…B*tch!” And look what we have here, a video of her set(thank you, Brian Bitner)! It was a fantastic evening, filled with lots of love and support. Sincere thanks to all who checked out the show. Morgan will be doing more, in the not-so-distant future. Stay tuned…
I am very excited to say that I am officially included in the line-up of lovely, funny ladies in the upcoming “Say Something Funny…B*tch” show! Those of you who missed me at The Improv, no worries, because you now have a second chance:) I am very excited.
Please check it out and show some support! The more love in the audience, the better for everyone! Grab a drink and be jolly. You will laugh.
Morgan was chosen the Grand Prize Winner of the 2009 AMC “Mad Men” Video Audition Contest! Series creator of “Mad Men,” Matthew Weiner made the final decision and chose Morgan Elizabeth Cox to appear as a walk-on role, sometime in season 4 of the show! Take a look at the official winner’s announcement HERE!
A few weeks ago, I was invited to be a guest on the Portland, Oregon talk show “Keep it Local.” It was a great experience. There were a few “technical difficulties,” but despite it all, the interview was a lot of fun and for this struggling actress, a bit of positive press is always welcome. You can view my segment HERE!
As a result of the “Mad Men” Video Contest win, Morgan has been getting some fun attention from the press! A Portland, Oregon native, herself, Morgan Elizabeth Cox was featured in “The Oregonian.” The article was a spotlight in the entertainment section of the Portland newspaper, and on the front page of the section, no less. Peter Ames Carlin wrote a fantastic article, about the struggling, yet positive and motivated, actress. You can read the article at OregonLive.com! Here is a quote from the piece:
“I just thought, ‘How amazing to have him(series creator, Matthew Weiner) even look at my work,’” Cox said. “I had a camera built into my MacBook and had everything else I needed right there. So I thought, ‘Why not do it?”
Cox chose a monologue of Bobbie Barrett’s, a particularly willful character from the second season (“I really love playing direct and condescending, powerful females”), mastered the speech and went to her closet for the appropriate early 1960s-era clothes…”
