Legendary legend/actress/downtown performance artist/author/songwriter/and nightclub performer Ann Magnuson celebrates a birthday today. Ann, of course, is a founding member of the bands Bongwater and Vulcan Death Grip, as well as an actress of some renown.
I’ll let Trey Speegle give you some more background:
She has acted in Hollywood blockbusters, Off-Broadway plays, TV sitcoms and indie films, fronted various bands and written for numerous publications. She’s been seduced (and fed on) by vampire David Bowie in The Hunger, had her neck broken by a drug dealer in Clear and Present Danger, romanced robot John Malkovich in Making Mr. Right, played Jodie Foster’s manic real estate agent in Panic Room, told off Meryl Streep in Before and After, seduced River Phoenix in A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon and was the cigarette girl who’s sassy pals with Madonna in Desperately Seeking Susan. In her latest film, she plays wife to Christopher Walken in One More Time.
Watch some of my favorite musical performances below, and raise a glass to her. What a talent! What a gal! What force of nature! We love you, Ann!
