MELANIE MARCUS - "so now he's a part of our lives forever"


MELANIE MARCUS: "I don't care what men think about their dicks!"
This civil-rights lawyer stands her ground, whether it's business or personal. She'll also fight like hell for her family or friends. Although she can appear all business, she's also got somewhat of a sordid past involving motorcycles and wild women. Her biggest problem is that Brian, being Gus' father, will always have an overly strong influence on her home life.

EARLIEST AMBITION: To be a notorious girl drummer for an all girl punk band.

FAVORITE MOVIES: The Matrix, Easy Rider, I've Heard the Mermaids Singing.

FAVORITE JUNK FOOD: Peanut butter on Matzos.

FAVORITE OLD TIME TV CHARACTER: Rhoda Morgenstern from "Mary Tyler Moore".

FAVORITE FAMOUS COUPLE: Peppermint Patty and Marcy from "Peanuts".

GUILTY PLEASURE: Flipping through motorcycle magazines, fantasizing about having a brand new Harley and making Lindsay her Biker Broad.

BOOK OR MAGAZINE WHICH SHE COULD NOT LIVE WITHOUT ON A DESERT ISLAND: The New Republic or the New Yorker.

HABITS OF OTHER PEOPLE THAT IRRITATE HER: People that stare at Lindsay and her when they are walking hand-in-hand or want to sneak a kiss in public. Sexist or misogynistic men. Anything that Brian does.

SEVEN FAVORITE JEOPARDY! CATAGORIES: Biker Babes, Modern Art, Women Writers, Pretty Politicians, High on the Hog, Love that Leftist, and Hebrew Honeys.

THE ONE ITEM THAT'S ALWAYS IN HER REFRIGERATOR: Reddi Wip.
