Jenny McCarthy Filmography

• "My humor comes from being in Catholic school all the time. It came from having to be so quiet. But at home I was always the one to make my sisters and my parents giggle. I wasn't the normal kind of girl but the tomboy who always made fun of my faults, even when I was young." - AP, March 12, 1997
• "At the Mallrats audition, there were fifteen people just waiting to laugh at me. When I was shutting the door, I could already hear them laughing."
• "I was a puke brunette."
• "All those girls who were mean to me[in high school], I pay them back by going through the drive-through window and asking for my burger. That feels really great."

• Golden Apple Awards: Female Star of the Year (1997)
