Jane Lynch
Comments63this wiki
Jane Lynch | |
Gender: | Female |
Age: | 52 |
Born: | July 14, 1960 |
Character: | Sue Sylvester |
Occupation: | Actress, comedian, writer |
Years Active: | 1981-present |
Jane Marie Lynch (born July 14, 1960) is a 52-year-old American writer, actress, comedian, and singer. She is often considered the "savior" of Glee, due to the show's frequent lack of coherence.
She is currently starring in the hit Fox comedy, portraying Sue Sylvester. Her performance as Sue Sylvester is highly praised, and she even won a Golden Globe for her role in 2011. As of 2010, she is openly lesbian and is married to Dr. Lara Embry. In 2013, she made her broadway debut as Miss Hannigan in Annie.
Contents |
Early life
Lynch was born and raised in Dolton, Illinois, the daughter of a housewife mother and a banker father. She was raised in an Irish Catholic family and attended Thornridge High School. She received her bachelor's degree in theatre from Illinois State University and her MFA from Cornell University, also in theatre.
Lynch has played roles in comedy films such as Best in Show, The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Role Models, and is also known for her recurring roles on television as lawyer Joyce Wischina on The L Word, Dr. Linda Freeman, Charlie's sarcastic therapist on Two and a Half Men and as Spencer Reid's mother Diana Reid on Criminal Minds. She has appeared on iCarly as Sam's mom, Pam Puckett. She was also a regular on the comedy-drama series Party Down as Constance Carmell; the role garnered her positive critical response.
On Glee
Since 2009, Lynch has played the role of Sue Sylvester in the FOX musical-comedy series Glee for which she has won an Emmy Award and a Golden Globe Award. Originally, Sue would be a recurring character, and Lynch would be joining an ABC show. The show, however, fell through, then Lynch was promoted to a starring role of Glee. Lynch's performance was well received by critics.
Sue Sylvester is the main antagonist of Glee, often picking on Will Schuester and his glee kids. She is the cheerleading coach of William McKinley High School, and a ruthless bully to her colleagues and students. Sue manages to show benevolence to some people, like Kurt and her handicapped sister, Jean.
One of the funny and unanswered mysteries in the show is Sue's age. In "The Power of Madonna", she claims to be 29 and a huge fan of Madonna when she was young, but in Season Two's episode A Very Glee Christmas, she implies that she had participated the Vietnam War (in My Lai Massacre), while at the same time Madonna was only ten in 1968. She also writes in her journal during The Sue Sylvester Shuffle that she is 31.
- She shares her life with two dogs and two cats. She has a Lhasa Apso named Oliva, a Wheaten Terrier named Georgie, a Gray Tabby named Geta and a Red Tabby named Riley.
- Her favorite Sue-line is That's what they said about a young man in Chicago in 1871, who thought he'd play a harmless prank on the dairy cow of one Mrs. O'Leary. He successfully ignited its flatulence, and a city burned, William. That young terrorist went on to become the first gay president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln.
- She's deaf in her right ear.
- She quit at the middle of her first play.
- She loves coffee and the first pot in the morning needs to be perfect. She can do it over and over again.
- Her dog wears a diaper.
- She's afraid of elevators.
- She sends her sheets to the cleaners.
- Performed all her own singing and guitar playing in A Mighty Wind (2003).
- Penned and starred in the award winning play "Oh, Sister, My Sister!"
- Married Lara Embry at the Blue Heron Restaurant in Sunderland, Massachusetts.
- Her favorite films are The Crossing Guard (1995), Ninotchka (1939), The Big Lebowski (1998), Zoolander (2001), and Private Benjamin (1980).
- She's the tallest of her castmates.
- Lynch is openly lesbian, and married Lara Embry in 2010.
- She made cameos on The Simpsons, iCarly and Friends.
- She voiced Al in the American Dad! episode Surro-Gate.
- She voiced Sergeant Calhoun, a female action game character from the 2012 movie Wreck-It-Ralph.
- She will make her Broadway debut as Miss Hannigan in a revival of the 1977's musical, Annie, from May 14-July 14, 2013.
" |
[In an Interview with the UK Mirror on why she didn't tell her parents she is a lesbian until she was 31 years old] I didn't want to be gay. I wanted to be..I wanted an easy life. And you know what? I am gay and I still have an easy life. | " |
" |
Lynch alone makes "Glee" worth watching. | " |

"The games are coming, we promise…" How many times have we heard that from Nintendo? While I have been enjoying my Wii U since its release, there has been a lack of truly engaging games since the systems launch and only a smattering of great titles have released for the system this year. The Wii U eShop has shown it can be a force to be reckoned with but consumers did not plop down $300+ to just toil around with this awesome channel. Read More
Sony is in a very interesting position for this year's E3. They have already announced its next generation console back in February and we have already seen what to expect from the system.

good morning Tracey!
too bad Fifi and Mark didn't get to enjoy it!! HOWEVER now you own all this idea yourself - and you are the one that can publish them -
I learned a lot with having them over learning how to expand my lens...
my favorite picture it with your clarity on the baby's breath/mason jar....
but they are all so beautiful (btw; Mark said you are a very knowledgeable photographer!!)
xo + blessings,

Good Morning Tracey sweetie...
OMG I can't even pick just one favorite. What a beautiful showing. I loved the spearmint in the pitcher. Simplicity at it's finest and displayed so beautifully. I also loved the vividness of the cherries and strawberries. How delightful.
The little cake with the small violets, beautiful element of surprise. Love it.
Lastly the flowers in the glass vase hanging on the edge of the wire (bed) beautiful, and I adore the splash of rust that shows through. How absolutely inviting. I thank you for taking me outdoors today to your beautiful celebration of sunshine and happiness.
Hope you have a wonderful week sweetie. Country hugs, Sherry - June 28, 2010 at 8:01 AM

Thanks for sharing these oh so beautiful photos with us - I loved being a "guest" at your patio party... ;o)

- Katy Noelle said...
Gasp! -when I read that it's both 100 posts and 1 year. Congratulations!
I don't think that your dream of being a stylist is anywhere near OFF the mark! Everything is always lovely here - like in a magazine - but - I'm SURE you've been told that before.
Tracey, when Fifi had come, I had mentioned that I had just seen her at someone else's bloggy house. It was Elyse at "Cottage". Then, only a few days later, I see that she mentioned you in one of her posts (Fickle Pickle) and you answered her back. Funny! Uh oh! I have 'it's a small world' revving in my head. Excuse me, I have to go and crush that before it gets started!
Anyway, you've given me inspiration, again. Just when I needed it, too!
Love, Katy - June 28, 2010 at 8:03 AM

Tracey... Learning is doing and you are doing quite well. The weather has been a ruin of many of plans so far this summer... Yesterday afternnon and evening we recieved ovr 2 inches of rain and we went to check the fields and water was flowing and setting everywhere... We have a large ditch beside our house and it was like a big waterfall as all flowed to the main one... I am sure you learned a few pointers watching Fifi... It all in the little detail.... right down to the little petals....

- Beach House Living said...
This is your idea of a "scaled down" version? I don't have enough space to store all that stuff nor have such a fab collection of cool stuff never mind the artful arranging.
As for the photos the composition looks fabulous to me. That photo of the cherries looks like it belongs in a food magazine.
Shooting in the shade is hard I've found it's much harder with digital camera's for some reason.
to adjust for that. Lots of gray to blush hues...on the little camera screen they look fine once loaded it's like ut oh.
You can try upping the AV setting and adjusting white balance - June 28, 2010 at 8:24 AM

Hi Tracey,
I happened to stumble into your blog and realized that I just read the lovely article you wrote in Somerset Life this month. {I am in there too.}
Your photographs are great, and as far as I can see you already are a photo stylist!
By the way, when Fifi came to shoot my home last year it rained and rained and rained! I had a patio party planned too and got soaked.
I'll look for Fifi's story about you soon. Congratulations on all your publications.

Y. 11735 Thursday, September 9, 1965 GOP FIGHT IT OUT TUESDAY PRIMARY Ginsberg Demands Phone Company Cut Rates The New York Telephone Company is arrogantly ignoring its 3,600 customers in Old Beth-page and parts of Farmingdale and Massapequa who have valid complaints that they pay " long distance rates for short distance calls, " MartinGinsberg, President of the Plainview Chamber of Commerce and Republican- Liberal candidate in the new 9th Assembly District, charged today. For months, he said, Nassau r e s i d e n t s with MYrtle 4 and CHapel 9 phone numbers, have protested vigorously but in vain, that they a r e c h a r g e d excessively high bills because the phone company claims the two exchanges are in Suffolk County. These Nassau residents are also faced with dangerous confusion Ginsberg said, because police and fire emergency calls are at times mistakenly routed to Suffolk departments instead of the proper Nassau one. The phone company when finally prodded into saying something, has vaguely said the whole thing is a " local matter," Ginsberg asserted and does not concern the company's high officials. " I have sent a letter to the New York State Public Service Commission demanding they call an immediate public hearing on this matter," Ginsberg declared. " The PSC as the agency charged with overseeing public utilities and regulating them, is the proper agency to hear this and to order the phone company to act properly and responsibly to these aggrieved Nassau residents." " i urge them as strongly as I know," he added, " to call a hearing and listen to these complaints. They will then, I am certain, act in the best interests of these 3,600 residents of Nassau County." $ 1,000,000 FIRE Many Farmingdale residents rushed out to see the reason for the fire sirens Tuesday night and expecially the big fireball in the sky as they looked toward Route 109 in East Farmingdale. The spectacular blaze swept through an industrial development destroying a lumber yard, nine freight cars and 11 ice cream trucks causing one million dollars of damage. The fire broke out at the Ajayem Lumber Corporation on Gear Avenue, East Farmingdale at about 8: 15 p. m. and swept through the industrial area and was a blaze seen from far and near for over three hours. F i r e men responded from East Farmingdale, Amityville, Babylon, Copiague, North Amityville, North Babylon, North Linden-hurst, West Babylon Wyandanch Farmingdale and Bethpage. The fire was fed by piles of lumber. It swept by the Long Island Railroad siding destroying the railroad freight cars and the ice cream trucks owned by Good Humor. Hoses were spread a-cross a runway at Zahns airport and the Farmingdale CAP came to the aid of the dangerous traffic condition caused by many siidit seers. iitt'l ** AiiU^ 4, Several of the 1,400 Weldon E. Howltt Junior High School students who began classes on Wednesday of this week. A new addition, now under construction, will accommodate an additional 1,000 students in September 1966. Additions to the Albany Avenue, Woodward Parkway and Parkway Oaks schools were ready for opening day sessions. The Main Street renovation was also completed in time. Primary Day, Tuesday, September 14 is an important date for Republicans in this area. The contest, Town of Oyster Bay wide in Republican circles, is for Councilmatic candidates. The Republican organization designees are: Angelo Roncallo of 222 Toronto Ave., Massapequa, Frank Hynes of 60 Bethpage Road Farmingdale and Ralph J. Marino of Gilbert Court, East Norwich.

Roncallo, a Massapequa attorney is Republican leader of the Massapequa Zone and has served as counsel for the Joint Legislative Committee on Motor Boat. Frank Hynes is the Republican Leader of Farming-dale and has served and is still the Receiver of Taxes of the Town of Oyster Bay. Ralph Marino is a Republican Committeeman and is a trustee of the Oyster Bay - East Norwich Board of Education. He has been a practicing attorney in Oyster Bay since 1955. The insurgent Republican, who is a candidate at large is Walter W. Cox of 260 Park Boulevard, Massapequa Park. He is a Republican Committeeman. He is also founder of the new Republican Club of Massapequa Park. He is running Independent. The ticket is headed by Edwin J. Fehrenbach of 14 Manchester Drive, Bethpage who has served as Assemblyman of the Town of Oyster Bay and the City of Glen Cove, for the past eight years. He is being opposed by George Gruber of 215 North Walnut North Massapequa, a Conservative candidate and incumbent Democratic Supervisor of the Town of Oyster Bay Michael M. Petito who has the Liberal endorsement. Fehrenbach has no primary battle - In North Massapequa there is a contest in the 9th Ed. of the 8th A. D. Incumbent Frank Scro is being opposed by insurgent Bill Schilt and Thomas Burriciello, the Republican designee is being opposed by insurgent Thomas O'Mara.

About Liala
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone: 763-203-2207
Hometown: Fridley, Minn.
Birthday: June 10
Liala Helal is a community journalist who most recently worked as a reporter at The Journal in International Falls, Minn. She began as a reporter at The Minnesota Daily and has held internships at the St. Paul Pioneer Press, as well as a writing and reporting fellowship at The Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Fla. Before joining St. Michael Patch as Local Editor, Helal freelanced for her hometown Patch, Fridley Patch.
Helal is an avid reader and collector of awkward fortune cookie messages. She enjoys photography, an occasional run, and exploring new places. She is fluent in Egyptian Arabic and enjoys Middle Eastern art and culture. She lives in the Twin Cities with her cat, Q-Tip.
She has lived in St. Paul, Plymouth, St. Louis Park, Chicago Ridge, Ill., Fridley, and International Falls.
My Beliefs
At Patch, we promise always to report the facts as objectively as possible and otherwise adhere to the principles of good journalism. However, we also acknowledge that true impartiality is impossible and human beings have beliefs. So in the spirit of simple honesty, our policy is to encourage our editors to reveal certain key beliefs to the extent they feel comfortable.
This disclosure is not a license for our editors to inject these beliefs into stories or to dictate coverage according to them. In fact, the intent is the opposite: we hope that the knowledge that our beliefs are on the record will force us to be ever mindful to write, report, and edit in a fair, balanced way. And if you, the user, ever think you see evidence that we failed in this mission, we wholeheartedly invite you to let us know.
Helal is a believer in open-mindedness and the saying that if you love life, it will love you back. Her political beliefs include supporting issues on a case-by-base basis, regardless of which political party they are tied to.
Helal believes that a person can make even the most unpleasant activity fun, and that humor is the best bond between people.
Her favorite quotes are: "The universe is made of stories, not of atoms."-Muriel Ruckeyser, and, "Journalism can never be silent: that is its greatest virtue and its greatest fault. It must speak, and speak immediately, while the echoes of wonder, the claims of triumph and the signs of horror are still in the air."- Henry Anatole Grunwald.

Moderate Growth Is New Norm
As Sigrid Zialcita, Managing Director, Research , Asia Pacific, explains, "Even though a number of countries will remain in recession through the first half of 2013, modest positive growth is forecast for the region overall. As well, the sluggish "average" of the region will hide some stronger areas of regional and sector growth.
For the office sector, sustained job gains will underpin steady improvement in leasing activity well into 2013, albeit strong increases are less likely. Grade A rents still have room to grow in most cities – with new records likely to be set in Shanghai, Beijing and Jakarta. A soft landing in China will also reinforce a growth slowdown in the region as it has evolved into a vital source of export demand for most Asian economies.
Master Of Its Own Destiny
As David Hutchings, Partner and Head of the European Research Group, explains: "Europe's problems are clearly deep and long lasting, but they are not universal across all markets and, while there is a long road left to travel and plenty of room for unpleasant surprises along the way, the first building blocks of a sustainable solution appear to have been put in place.
As David points out, "If we are right in our reading of the economy, the implications for the property market will be varied, with many occupiers remaining defensive, but some acting or preparing to release pent-up demand as confidence improves."
Slow But Not Stalled – Stronger Growth On The Horizon
Listen to Maria Sicola, Executive Managing Director, Americas Research, explain why 2013 will be a transition year for the Americas, marked by modest to strong growth. While most of next year will be dominated by economic uncertainty, the underlying health of the regional economies will emerge as the fog lifts later the year, and drives growth higher.
For the real estate sector, 2013 may spell another pause in much of North America, while Central and South America will continue to grow at a healthy pace, but the stage has been set for strong regional growth in 2014 and beyond.
According to Cushman & Wakefield Chief Economist Ken McCarthy, 2013 will get off to a slow start for the global economy, but stability and growth will take hold later in the year as solutions to political-economic problems are implemented. While impacts will differ in each region and in local markets, hear why Ken sees 2013 as being a turning point that will lead to a stronger year in 2014.
Cushman & Wakefield Capital Markets leaders, Greg Vorwaller, Michael Rhydderch, John Stinson, David Hutchings, Michael Lindsay and Steven Kohn, discuss the outlook for Investment in Global Real Estate 2012 as they successfully launch the International Investment Atlas. The report summarizes trends in 51 major markets and includes a global investment overview, a review of how 2012 may develop and which markets and sectors our regional experts believe will be most in demand.

Any saltwater that can't be evaporated is put to use elsewhere, says Pawlyn.
"The saltwater going out of the greenhouses will go to the CSP to cool it -- which makes it more efficient -- and then it will go to the evaporator 'hedges' which create good growing conditions for crops outside and revegetate areas of desert," he said.
The remainder will end up in salt ponds where various compounds -- sodium chloride, gypsum, calcium carbonate -- can be extracted and potentially commercialized.
The opening of the pilot plant is scheduled to coincide with the upcoming United Nations Climate Conference (COP18) which this year takes place in Doha from November 26 to December 7.
It was three years ago at the U.N.'s COP15 conference in Copenhagen that the SFP presented their first feasibility study to the world.
It was one of the high points at talks which were widely viewed to have failed and has continued to gain the enthusiastic backing of environmental and political leaders.
Olav Kjorven, assistant secretary-general of the U.N. Development Program has called it "a gold standard," while Qatar's Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani believes the project could help improve food security in the Middle East.
"I think this will not be important only to Qatar, but to the whole region and elsewhere where they have the same climate as Qatar," Al Thani said in a statement.
The plant will be open long after U.N. delegates have left town operating for at least a year, possibly two, Pawlyn says, so that all the systems can be thoroughly assessed and optimized.
Larger projects look likely to follow the plant in Qatar with a 200-hectare site in Jordan slated for development. Pawlyn believes this is only the start, with certain areas of the world particularly well-suited to the project.

At age 7, Diana Markosian would look at the sky and wonder if her father was on each passing plane. Years later, she went in search of him, seeking answers in adulthood that she never got as a child.

SCIOTOVILLE — A gun shot and sirens rang out Tuesday evening near the intersection of Harding Avenue and Winchester Street in Sciotoville. According to Portsmouth Police Chief Robert Ware, a suspect — who fled in his vehicle and was stopped shortly after the incident in Kentucky — fired a shot, striking a female passenger of the vehicle.
The female passenger, who was not identified, was transported to Southern Ohio Medical Center with wounds to one of her hands and to her face, according to witnesses. The suspect was identified by police as Scott Andrew Wilson of North Carolina.
"We don't have any serious injuries here," Ware said. "It is a superficial wound."
A witness, who wished not to be named, was in the vehicle and said the suspect became irritable and displayed a handgun. The occupants of the vehicle, according to several witnesses, were visiting from out of state for a funeral.
"There was some kind of altercation in a vehicle here. A firearm was discharged," Ware said. "The vehicle owner fled the scene. We have him stopped over in Kentucky. Now we are going over to find out what is going on in his side of the story."
Wilson fled the scene in his vehicle and was stopped in Greenup County, Ky., on a traffic violation. As a result of the stop and a search, Greenup County Sheriff's Deputies arrested Wilson and charged him with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of a control substance. Ware said that the Portsmouth Police Department will interview Wilson Wednesday morning and file charges based on what are deemed to be the proper charges.
The victim of the shooting was treated and released from Southern Ohio Medical Center, according to Ware.
Jeff Brant of Brant Funeral Services was concluding a viewing when he was alerted that a woman had been shot across the street.
"Two of my tenants came and got me and told me there was a girl that had been shot," Brant said. "Everyone had left and I was in the lounge talking to the minister. I observed her and then went in to call Portsmouth Police and I told them I needed an ambulance, because there has been a shooting at my funeral home."
Emergency personnel arrived shortly after Brant made the call.
"She was in the ambulance, under oxygen, and I checked on her to see if she was OK," Brant said. "I told her that I recognized her and asked if she had been the one that got me a stepping stool and she said she was. I told her she would be OK and she said that she was just glad to be alive."
Brant said that there were no disturbances during the viewing. He did not think the shooter was in the funeral home at any time, and was likely waiting in his vehicle. He also said the situation was handled quickly by his staff.
"My understanding is that there was a disagreement across the street at the Post Office between someone from the funeral home — who was a visitor here — and a gun was pulled and a female was shot," Brant said. "The gentleman rapidly left and was apparently chased up Ohio River Road."
Before leaving the scene of the shooting, Ware said the suspect had been stopped in Kentucky. According to Ware, more information would be available pending further investigation.

At peak cherry blossom time in Washington, D.C., I risked life, limb and vehicle damage to venture into our nation's capital city. Making it unscathed to the National Mall, I breathed a long sigh of relief. I looked forward to revisiting the wonderfully familiar monuments and records of our great heritage. The cherry and tulip trees were in full bloom, posing for multitudes of camera-toters. After wheeling into one of the few-remaining public parking lots deep beneath the Holiday…Continue Reading
This week, the Web was awash with news releases thanking America's farmers for feeding the world. It was only fitting as we celebrated Ag Day and Ag Week. Trouble is, most of the appreciation came from within – ag organizations and ag trade groups – the choir, so to speak. I didn't spot even one grain of gratitude coming from environmentalists or those critical of "industrial ag", "big farma", "corporate agriculture" or other derogatory…Continue Reading
The Sandy Hook, Ct., school massacre pierced most of our hearts. It's also likely to shatter America's gun control shield when it should force us to face a far more pervasive crisis – our broken foundation impacted by America's moral decline. Sometimes, these tragedies help turn our minds to far greater issues than the day-to-day ones we wrestle with. Why wrestle with it here? Two reasons: We have a number of farm family readers in the Newtown area. And, huge…Continue Reading
I haven't talked with a single soul who won't be more than glad when this presidential election is over – no matter who wins or loses. Those running the campaigns have taken political integrity to a new low. And in some cases, the words "politics" and "integrity" shouldn't be used in the same sentence. I've heard from many of you about the November magazine's editorial, "Why the president must go." It was a slightly…Continue Reading
NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg seems to think that Americans can be regulated into slimming down their diets by reducing soda sugar intake. Problem is, he has a lot of company. And that attitude won't help anybody, let alone American agriculture. USDA and nutrition educators, for instance, swarm like ants to sugar pie over encouraging school food lunch programs to use more fresh fruits and vegetables. That can be a good thing. But they're still not targeting the brain-to-belly connection…Continue Reading
I once thought that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg was a smart man. I guess he's not as savvy as I thought. His latest blooper dropped him into Vice President Biden's category. Some politicians will say anything to gain votes. But in this case, he has lost his mind to political correctness and it'll cost him votes. What did he do?! On Wednesday, Bloomberg proposed a NYC ban on the sale of large sugary drinks. You have to wonder who hyped him on caffeine to spout…Continue Reading
Last week, I closed with "If we have morphed into a Greater Recession, we're entering into another era of civil unrest and violence." I absolutely detest closing on such a negative note, and I resist it with every fiber of my positive mind. But sometimes, the ugly, unvarnished truth must be bared. This week confirmed that the Congressional Super Committee wasn't so super. The club of 12 was just another pack of politicians with yet another failed delivery. It was just…Continue Reading
Most of us have traveled into America's landmark cities – Boston, New York and Washington. Some of us have even ventured to those on the Pacific side. We've been astounded by the wealth – or the counterfeit perceived image there of. And we've probably been blown away by the cost of lodging, meals and parking – at least double that of smaller cities within a crow-fly of Megalopolis. The wealth that's paraded (and pandered to) gives those with six- and seven-figure…Continue Reading
I guess you have to give him credit for trying. Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett wants to keep the big political horses behind the Marcellus natural gas industry happy. So he opted to propose an impact fee, to be negotiated by individual counties – but with a low per-well cap. In a nutshell, it would allow a flat, negotiated fee per well – not based on gas volume where the real money is at. The fees would start at $40,000 per well in the first year, and gradually drop to phase out…Continue Reading
I won't say, "I told you so." But many stock market analysts have predicted an "economic armageddon" for several years. And I write this amid a market melt-down that makes the U.S. federal deficit look like pennies. And the finger-pointers are everywhere. Blame Bush? Nope, President Obama has done that too much to be effective. Blame the Greeks? Sorry, the media has been hearing that one for too long as well. Then blame Standard & Poors for knocking…Continue Reading
