1Film Vault Friday: My Fey Lady
If you’re a comedian fortunate enough to make it onto Second City mainstage, you know you’ve arrived at something big. It’s a huge step for a young performer. It may be one of those moments that you realize you better damn well enjoy, because it seems life will be all downhill after that. Chances are, though, you’re wrong.
Want proof that life can exceed even your wildest imagination? Take a look at this clip of Rachel Dratch and Tina Fey in Second City’s production of Paradigm Lost, circa 1997.
Keeping that thought in mind…
Don’t believe, even for a second, that the plain girl in the brown cardigan – relatively successful already – EVER thought she’d see herself on the cover of Vogue.
Amazing where life can take you, isn’t it? Full story and stunning photos from the March issue are up on the Vogue website.

Well, this is a turn up for the books! Good for Tina. But who is that woman on the cover of Vogue? Is that an alien version of Fey cropped and faded with photo shop? She still looks as beautiful as she is, just thru vaseline.
