Melanie Martinez (born 1972) is a television and stage actress. She is most famous for playing Melanie, host of the Good Night Show, on PBS KIDS Sprout from 2005 to 2006.
In 1994, she graduated from the Tisch School of the Arts.
Past theater work includes roles in Caesar and Cleopatra at Cocteau Repertory and in a verse play, The Death of Don Flagrante Delicto, written by Kirk Wood Bromley.
In the summer of 2000, Martinez was cast to play the role of a student in two 30-second videos, I Have a Future (filmed in July 2000) and Boys Can Wait (filmed in February 2001). Both short films spoofed abstinence-only public service announcements. The former espoused the virtues of anal sex, while the latter promoted vibrators. The political spoofs were directed by David Mack and produced by John Ordover, and were hosted on the website TechnicalVirgin.com. In July 2006, PBS KIDS Sprout terminated Martinez as host of the Good Night Show when it learned of these videos, which it deemed "inappropriate for her role as a preschool host."
Fallen teeth
straight out of my mouth
reeks of insecurities
you poured into me
If these walls talked
they’d tell you to stop
stop with your murdering
my dignity
All the other boys wanted was
to gaze in my eyes
And your sick little brain crave
was to see me cry
Look at me
what have I become
I’m just a toy
you played and destroyed
What is love?
Does it push and shove?
Does it haunt you?
Make you feel like a fool
All the other boys left me ‘cause
I wasn’t good enough
now I’m stuck with these nightmares of me
accepting rough love
Every tear that falls from me
is the last one you will see
Tell myself this all the time
I don’t know what changes my mind
All the other boys wanted was
to gaze in my eyes
And your sick little brain crave
was to see me cry
All the other boys left me ‘cause
I wasn’t good enough
now I’m stuck with these nightmares of me
