Nikki Blonsky #1: From ice cream to the big screen!

Nicole Margaret Blonsky


Big thanks to jameslover725 for the banner

Nicole Margaret Blonsky (born November 9, 1988) is an American actress and singer. She will portray Tracy Turnblad, the lead character, in the big-screen remake and adaptation of the musical Hairspray, currently scheduled for a 2007 release date. She is known professionally as Nikki Blonsky.

Blonsky hails from Great Neck, New York. She graduated from Great Neck Village School in June, 2006. She has done local theatre at both Levels (youth center) and Great Neck South High School, and beat out thousands of hopefuls for the role in Hairspray. She learned that she got the role from the producers via the internet at the Cold Stone Creamery, where she also works during her after school hours. The announcement was made public on the June 8, 2006 edition of Entertainment Tonight; the show's crew went to her workplace to film the surprise announcement.

When asked about having won the role of Tracy Turnblad, Blonsky responded by saying "I'm shaking. I'm surprised I'm still standing!" She also told the New York Daily News that she hopes to distinguish herself from Ricki Lake and Marissa Jaret Winokur, who previously played the role, both of whom she has respect for: "I'm not going to try to fill anybody's shoes - I'm going to try to create a new pair of shoes!"

I know! I love that she is "short and stout" That's exactly the kind of girl Hollywood needs!

So true! She's a role model for a lot of people.
I can't wait to see her in Hairspray
I have an article about her from Teen Vogue, if you want me to post it?

Well, I will anyway

Lol, Rhyming is fun!

I'm trying to find any new news, but so far it's all the same. Hopefully there will be more soon

You were looking for write ups and things? there's an interview inthe hairspray blog today but I think they are using lots of older material and things.

But we can add links to her youtube interview on Oprah and perhaps stuff like that? And interview-wise, I'll look too.

Coolies, I'll try and round up those vids. Its ok to link to Youtube right? I think some of the vids are still there. I hope the long version of her interview is there. I saw one which alos had clips of Good Morning Baltimore...so that's all good.
Oh there's also the clips that were released featuring her + her character teaser for the part of Tracy Turnblad. *thinks*

I'll put some links together and PM you. Then you can decide what you wanna put in the first post.
