Misty Rowe Biography
Born: June 01, 1952
Actress/singer/comedienne Misty Rowe's career peaked in the 1970s and 1980s and placed its strongest emphasis on television and stage. Born in 1952, Rowe studied under preeminent acting coach Stella_Adler, and achieved her most enduring fame as one of the longest-reigning contributors (outstripped only by a handful of regulars including Roy_Clark and Minnie_Pearl) to the country music-themed comedy variety program Hee_Haw; Rowe signed on with the program in 1972 and remained with the cast until 1991, or two years before its first-run syndication ended. In the interim, she joined the cast of Happy_Days for the first season only, won the part of Maid Marian in Mel_Brooks' short-lived sitcom farce When_Things_Were_Rotten (1975), and -- very briefly -- starred opposite Kathie_Lee_Johnson (soon to become Kathie_Lee_Gifford), Lulu_Roman, and others in the comedy variety spinoff of Hee_Haw, Hee Haw Honeys (1978). Meanwhile, Rowe also eked out a presence on-stage in such productions as the musical comedy +Lil' Abner opposite Joe_Namath.
Following Rowe's stint on Hee_Haw, she endured a bout of personal tragedy, but overcame the related emotional difficulties and scored a triumph by headlining the touring stage production Always...Patsy Cline as the famous, tragic country crooner. Rowe then embarked on a stand-up act, headlining clubs including Caroline's, Stand-Up New York, and Don't Tell Mama. Rowe's feature film career witnessed her landing supporting roles in projects including Loose_Shoes (1980), National_Lampoon's_Class_Reunion (1982), and Meatballs Part II (1984).
