Back to Nature



This could be fun...

Ellen DeGeneres has signed on to play Mother Nature in an untitled comedy being produced by Walden Media. The project is being penned by "Sex and the City" writer-executive producer Jenny Bicks. In the film, which springs from an original concept inside Walden, the Emmy-winning talk show host will return to Earth for the first time since the planet's creation.

If the script and effects are good, I think that Ellen could have a blast with this role. Kind of like George Burns did when he did the "Oh, God!" series of films.

Of course, when I read this, I immediately thought of one my all-time favorite series of commercials...



If you think it's butter, but it's NOT....it's Chiffon.

Of course, the 70's are gone and, it seems, Mother Nature now has more important things to focus on than margarine or the environment...



Try regifting that.

I'm almost certian the actress playing mother nature is a broadway actress but I'm having trouble placing her. This will drive me nuts for days.

I know what you mean. She was on tons of sitcoms throughout the 70's, 80's and 90's. If I find out who she is...I'll let ya' know.

The actress who plays Mother Nature in the Tampax commercials is Catherine Lloyd Burns. She also played Malcolm's teacher on Malcolm in the Middle.
