It’s been almost a year since Crazy Ex-Girlfriend—one of the best shows of the 2010s, and perhaps the best TV musical of all time—signed off with an excellent finale. Since then, we haven’t seen nearly enough of Donna Lynne Champlin, who played the fearless, loyal, and occasionally extremely intense Paula Proctor. We miss the singing. We miss the dancing. We miss the ice trays. We miss the stalking and the legalese and the word “cookie” as a pet name. (We also miss Another Period.) But what on earth can we, your humble A.V. Club, do about such a thing?
Well, we can buy a Cameo—for a good cause.
In the midst of, you know, everything, Champlin decided to turn her Cameo account into a fundraiser for No Kid Hungry, a non-profit dedicated to ending child hunger. All proceeds from any Cameos ordered go to support the charity, and she’s even offering a discount code for those who’d like to support but can’t swing the full fee. (We won’t be using it, but it’s there.)
“It’s funny, I used to get a lot of ‘sing happy birthday to my wife’ or ‘my friend is graduating law school’ Cameo [requests],” Champlin told The A.V. Club via email. “Now most of what I get is ‘give me a Paula Proctor pep talk.’ Or ‘I’m so scared and lonely, please cheer me up,’ or ‘my friend is isolated and alone, please make her laugh and sing something for her.’ Which of course, I’m happy to do.”
