Sandra Bernhard Detailed Biography -

Sandra Bernhard (born June 6, 1955 in suburban Flint, Michigan, but raised in Arizona) is a United States actor, entertainer, and comedian. The brassy and outspoken performance artist first gained attention in the late 1970s with her stand-up comedy. She has since become a household name from her appearances in various films (including The King of Comedy, Hudson Hawk, The Apocalypse, Follow That Bird, and Inside Monkey Zetterland) as well as her television spots, most notably as Nancy, a lesbian friend of the title protagonist on Roseanne. She also guest-starred as herself on two episodes of Will & Grace and appeared in several episodes of The L Word as a literary professor. She has developed a cult following with her stand-up comedy shows that are better described as performance art. She also gained notoriety as a lesbian with public intimations of a relationship with Madonna, which both made in the late 1980s. Within her comedy, often bitterly ripping apart celebrity culture and political figures, Bernhard performs classic pop music, jazz, and blues tunes. She has released several albums (combinations of music and comedy) including: I'm Your Woman Without You, I'm Nothing Excuses For Bad Behaviour (Part One) I'm Still Here...Damnit The Love Machine Hero Worship Excuses for Bad Behaviour (Part Two) The Love Machine Remastered (entirely different than The Love Machine) Giving Til it Hurts Sandra Bernhard: Live Gems of Mystery She is also an accomplished writer with the books: Confessions of a Pretty Lady May I Kiss You on the Lips, Miss Sandra Love, Love and Love She is number 97 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 greatest standups of all time.
