Click here to inquire about Marcia Wallace for your event now Marcia Wallace Marcia Wallace has been making people laugh on television for thirty years and while her career includes her long-running role as “Carol” the receptionist on The Bob Newhart Show and an Emmy winning role as Ms. Krabappel on The Simpsons, her greatest success has been weathering her own stormy life. This is a life lived out to the edges, dominated by a powerful life force and her big personality. In her presentations, Marcia candidly shares the moving story of her cancer struggles, while encouraging other women to become both vigilant and educated about cancer risks and treatment options. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 1985, she began speaking across the country to help educate other women about breast cancer shortly after losing her husband, Dennis Hawley, to pancreatic cancer in 1992. In October of 1998, Marcia was featured in a People Magazine cover story on the American breast cancer epidemic along with other celebrities who have survived breast cancer. As a twenty-two year survivor, Marcia has become a high profile advocate for breast cancer awareness. She has spoken to thousands of women across the country sharing her hilarious and moving story. Her autobiography was published in 2004. Both her speech and her book are entitled “Don't Look Back, We're Not Going That Way”. The title is a quote from her larger than life father. Of course, he also used to say, “If I don't see you again the mule is yours,” so not everything he said was deep. The book is subtitled “How I Overcame a Rocky Childhood, a Nervous Breakdown, Breast Cancer, Widowhood, Fat, Fire & Menopausal Motherhood and Still Managed to Count My Lucky Chickens.” Born in Creston, Iowa, Marcia grew up in the 50’s in challenging circumstances. Fortunately, she was gifted with talent, tenacity and a big heart. And, most importantly, an almost congenital inability to feel sorry for herself. She tells her story – a story with more than its fair share of sadness – with acceptance and humor. She's learned a lot and learned it the hard way and her story has a meaning for all women but ‘Girlfriends of a Certain Age’ will feel especially inspired by Marcia's lack of self-pity and her resilience. She's been through it all, can share her turbulent life and make her audiences laugh and cry along the way. She's another great dame with an eye and ear for our common experience. On January 27, 2007, Marcia won the Gilda Radner Courage Award from Roswell Park Cancer Institute for helping educate Americans about the importance of early cancer detection and inspiring others through her 20 years as a breast cancer survivor.
