Judy Tenuta produced two comedic novels and garnered two Grammy nominations for Best Comedy Album. She started her comedic career in the 1970s by doing openers and small-time performances on the Chicago comedy circuit.

Tenuta’s use of her voice in her stand-up routine made her a good candidate for voice-over work in a number of animated shows. Among them were Edna on Duckman, Munch Kelly on Cow and Chicken in the outlawed episode “Buffalo Gals,” Black Widow on Space Ghost Coast to Coast, and Dr. Katz as Professional Therapist.

She also played a variety of characters in movies and television shows, such as the domineering disciplinarian “Samantha Rottweiler” in the film Butch Camp and the obnoxious librarian “Mrs. Holler” in the television movie Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide.
