Edith Prickley was a character in all six seasons of the Canadian sketch comedy series ''SCTV''. Created and played by Andrea Martin, the character took over as the station manager for the fictional television station Second City Television, based out of a city called Melonville, and serving the "tri-city area". Her character, visibly distinct by her leopard-print clothing and hat, and rhinestone studded glasses, served the station's president and owner, Guy Caballero. The character of Edith Prickley was created for and played by comedian Andrea Martin, when the series debuted in 1976. Along with Caballero, Prickley was one of the few characters to appear throughout the entire run of the series, which ended in 1984. The character perhaps remains Martin's best known; she was a relative unknown performer before the series debut. Martin was nominated in 1982 for the "Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy or Variety or Music Series" Emmy Award. ==Personality== According to the book "Women in Comedy", one writer described Edith as "an amalgam of Rona Barrett, Joan of Arc, and Auntie Mame". The "oversexed" Prickley was convinced that every male around had "lustful intention towards her." Prickley snorted at her own jokes; her laugh has been described as a cackle. The Second City website reads: "Ms. Prickley had all the style of Jackie O. and all the charm of Jackie Mason."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edith Prickley」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
