Before Brenda Strong was one of the Desperate Housewives, she was a slutty nurse in Spaceballs. She played a much different role when she was 26 in that 1987 movie than she has in the latter part of career on shows like Dallas.
Here is what the actress had to say about that part yesterday on Twitter, “@MelBrooks gave me my first role… as Nurse Gretchen in SpaceBalls. He and Anne B took me to lunch and I am still in awe.” How amazeballs would that be to have an lunch like that on your very first acting job? Kind of like when your first kiss is your best kiss, the rest do not compare. That is probably how she has felt ever since them and she worked with some greats.
