I’ve been wondering about the woman in the Floyd County Productions picture for a while. She looks familiar and the recent Victoria Jackson thread made me realize that’s who she reminds me of.

Is it her? If not who is it? And what is her connection with the show?

Not a lot of Archer fans apparently 😉

I don’t who it is, but the photo comes from a stock photo website.  
The image is called: “Tired Older Blonde Woman in a Motorhome”

I thought it was the woman they based the character of Pam on.

I wonder if that older white trash skank was “made… in Georgia.”

That actually looks like Brett Butler from an old 90s sitcom called “Grade Under Fire”. And she’s from Alabama which Floyd County Productions is based in so…

Not to mention she actually has a recurring role as the bartender at the restaurant that Dr. Charlie Goodson frequents in the FX show Anger Management starring Charlie Sheen.

AND Brett Butler (another actor, male this time) was the VO actor of Dr Quinn on Sealab 2021, which Adam Reed (creator of Archer) also created!!

I feel like i’m playing 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon/Separation.

Maybe she’s tired because she works as a maid.

In Georgia.

Her name is Melody and the photo was taken by Kevin Russ.

Just look up his account on Flickr and look through the album titled “People 2006”
