Mary Katherine Gallagher
Mary Katherine Gallagher is a fictional character invented and portrayed by ''Saturday Night Live'' cast member Molly Shannon from 1995 to 2001. She was considered the first breakout character from the new 1995 cast and a significant marker of the increased influence of women writers on the show in the 1990s. Shannon portrayed the character in a 1999 film, ''Superstar'', and she also reprised the role when she hosted ''Saturday Night Live'' in 2007. Shannon first created an early version of the character when she was in school at NYU, during a comedy show directed by Madeleine Olnek. Character Mary Katherine is a sardonic caricature of an unpopular, teenage Catholic school girl. She is prone to comically severe mood swings, alternately hyperactive and ponderous. She suffers from stage fright, but is also hyper-competitive (on one occasion, she engages in a sing-off with Whitney Houston) and egomaniacal, believing she is a "superstar". Lacking in proper social skills, her signat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
