Top 5 Reasons We're Mad for Martha Plimpton

New Standards | Oct 19, 2015

Actress Martha Plimpton is the next guest on the Naked American Songbook with Julian Fleisher. Here are some reasons why we're crazy for this broad:

1. She's been on stage since she was 8 years old, and she knows what she's doing. Here she is performing the Springsteen favorite, "Thunder Road," at the Green Space in 2010.

2. She knows karate... and she's hilarious! Here she is as Sarah in the 2013 New York Philharmonic gala concert production of Company, along side Stephen Colbert and Neil Patrick Harris.

3. She loves her country and the Great American Songbook. Here she is singing the national anthem at Game 3 of the 2010 World Series.

4. She's pals with Julian Fleisher. Enough said. Here they are singing “Can I Get a Light” at Joe's Pub in New York City.

5. She is a mastermind. See her genius at work - helping organize a beauty pageant in the middle of the 2011 Emmy's. 

Be alert for scams. WNYC never asks for nor accepts money for coverage or interviews. Anyone making such a request does not represent WNYC.
