This month’s Vanity Fair cover story is about Tina Fey maybe you ve heard of her. The profile written by Maureen Dowd — maybe you ve heard of her — features such headline grabbers as the backstory behind Fey’s mysterious chin scar — according to her husband she was cut in her front yard by a stranger when she was five — and the fact that she was a virgin till she was 25.
More interesting than those details however is Fey’s development from writer’s room puritan with a “chord of anger running through her comedy ” as her one-time colleague Adam McKay put it into a va-va-voom leading lady. “You’re a very attractive woman ” Alec Baldwin told her at one point. “You’ve got to pop one more button on that blouse.” Much like Virginia Heffernan’s 2003 New Yorker profile, Dowd’s piece depicts Fey as a sober hard-driven deeply principled woman who is a galaxy removed from the pill-popping icons who came before her on “Saturday Night Live.” When Dowd asks Fey what s the wildest thing she s ever done she replies “Nothing.” This is after all the woman Colin Quinn nicknamed “Herman the German.” Lorne Michaels compares her to Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl.
Fey’s husband discloses the story of the worst trouble he ever got into with her He went to a strip club. “I feel like we all need to be better than that ” Fey says of the incident. “That industry needs to die by all of us being a little bit better than that.”
