it's the fun part of the night anyway."
Poundstone, who started her career in
Massachusetts comedy clubs and moved
on to larger concert venues, gained
national attention through the late-night
talk shows. She won a CableACE Award
in 1992 for her first hour-long, standup
special for HBO, Cats, Cops and stig5r,
which led to a second successful HBO
comedy hour in 1996, Paula Poundstone
Goes to Harvard.
She currently is part of the ABC
animated morning program
Squigglevision, taking on the role of
Judge Stone. She stars in the new ani-
mated UPN series, Horne Movies, as
Paula Stone, a divorced, single mom
with two children.
"With the exception of the divorce
part, the new series is somewhat auto-
biographical," says Poundstone, who
adopted two of the six foster children
she has brought into her home. "I try
to be an advocate for foster parenting
as much as I can. That's the reason I
went public with it. There are many
more children in the system than there
are families to care for them."
Ironically, Poundstone doesn't allow
her youngsters to watch the medium
that brought her so much success.
"Even if you're watching something
that is fairly benign and harmless,
images cross the screen that are just hor-
rendous," she explains. "There could be
a commercial for the most violent [pro-
grams] they have coming up later that
night. I don't want my kids to see that if
I can possibly avoid it."
Poundstone, who is scheduling fewer
shows far from home to spend more
time with her children, is glad that her
upcoming visit to Michigan will help
people confronting serious illness.
"I've dealt with life-threatening dis-
eases through people close to me, and
[Gilda's Clubs] certainly make sense,"
she says. 7
