About

Although comedy is her profession, Nadine has accomplished a lot in her young age. She is a national champion black belt, a world-class soccer player, and an avid snowboarder. She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E! Entertainment, Showtime’s Hot Tamales Live, The Skinny: Fat Free News, The Sunny Side of The Truth: Real World Hollywood, TVgasm, Zazreport, Daddy’s Girls, Jerseylicious, celebrity interviews on Mania TV, a weekly half-hour television show that syndicates to colleges across the country for National Lampoon and a nightly radio show on XM Satellite Radio.

    Yeah he had some truly wonderful movies. He will live on through those. Still, shame to hear the news of his passing. :(

    Oh, man – so sad. He was an amazing director with so many wonderful movies to his credit – esp Out of Africa, Three Days of the Condor etc etc

    He was also a marvellous actor – especially in Woody Allen’s (rather seasick-inducing) Husbands & Wives.

    I know, he was the man. Tootsie was one of the first movies I watched as a kid that I laughed out loud at. And, when I went over to entertain the troops 2 years ago in Afghanistan, it was the only DVD I brought and watched on my computer every night before I fell asleep (only b/c I didn’t have AB FAB DVDs), but either way, what a great movie and what a great director.
