Mary Cynthia Walsh, CM (born May 13, 1952) is a Canadian actress, comedian and social activist. A sufferer of macular degeneration, she has served from time to time as a spokesperson for the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB).
Walsh was born in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, the daughter of Mary and Leo Walsh, a merchant marine turned fireman on commercial vessels. She is of Irish ancestry. She studied theatre in Toronto at Ryerson University but dropped out to work with the CODCO comedy troupe on a series of stage shows, which eventually evolved into a sketch comedy series.
The CODCO series ran from 1987 to 1992 on CBC Television.
In 1992, she began to work with former co-star Rick Mercer and former CODCO co-stars Cathy Jones and Greg Thomey to create a new television series called This Hour Has 22 Minutes. The show would be a parody of the nightly news and would poke fun at Canadian and international politics. 22 Minutes received strong ratings during its earlier seasons and Walsh's character Marg Delahunty became famous for buttonholing politicians and submitting them to satirical interviews. Usually Marg Delahunty would recite a scripted piece intended to humiliate the politician, often by providing criticism and "grandmotherly" advice. Sometimes Marg appeared as "Marg, Princess Warrior", a parody of the title character of Xena: Warrior Princess portrayed by Lucy Lawless. Walsh is also noted for her comical segment chronicling the Canadian Auto Workers Union's tense blockade of the Volvo Halifax Assembly plant in 1998.

Plot: Mary Walsh delivers boyfriend Kevin to a hospital for routine outpatient surgery. But when Mary returns to take him home, he's mysteriously vanished. An administrator can find no record of him, and a police search turns up nothing. Increasingly frantic, Mary's taken to staff psychiatrist Dr. Bensley, who pronounces her unstable. Now she must not only find her missing boyfriend, but prove her own sanity as well. When a stranger informs her he knows Kevin's whereabouts and demands a $10 million ransom, she has one hour to comply... and her boyfriend's life hangs in the balance. Forced to embezzle the money from the bank where she works, Mary soon discovers the shocking truth behind the disappearance. Now time is running out and she must take matters into her own hands to save herself.

Plot: Based on the true story of Lindy Chamberlain. During a camping trip to Ayers Rock in outback Australia, she claimed that she witnessed a dingo stealing her baby daughter, Azaria, from the family tent. Azaria's body was never found. Police noted some apparent inconsistencies in her story, and she was charged with murder. The case attracted a lot of attention, turning an investigation into a media circus, with the public divided in their opinions.

Most Canadians got to know Mary on This Hour Has 22 Minutes, a satirical news show that was ahead of its time. Mary's comedic sensibility was nurtured by her home province, Newfoundland and Labrador, and the characters she's created are as diverse as Canada itself. Now, Mary's roster of characters are back, part of a one-woman show called 'Dancing with Rage'. And the Panel features the very funny Maggie Cassella.

It's no secret that the CBC is actively campaigning against PM Stephen Harper. Both Mulcair and Trudeau have promised the state broadcaster hundreds of millions of dollars if elected. And the journalists' union is behind a registered third party anti-Harper campaign. Ezra Levant of TheRebel.media reports: Now long time CBC "comedian" Mary Walsh has released a bizarre "protest video" against the PM. She compares Harper to Hitler and the East German secret police. It's a disgusting comparison that insults the millions of people who suffered under Nazi and Communist rule. The CBC: Irrelevant, arrogant, biased. It’s time to pull the plug!

For years, Mary Walsh made Canadians laugh with her offbeat, irreverent humour on programs such as "This Hour has Twenty-Two Minutes" and "Codco". Born in St. John's, Newfoundland, Mary's career as performer began when she was 18, earning a spot as a summer host for CBC Radio. Mary then enrolled in the theatre arts program at Ryerson University, but after a few months returned to Newfoundland where she joined the Newfoundland Travelling Theatre Company and later Codco. Walsh gained national prominence with the CBC's "This Hour Has Twenty-Two Minutes" where the sarcastic wit and biting satire of Walsh's characters, Dakey Dunn and Marg Delahunty Princess Warrior struck a resonant chord with Canadians. Walsh continues to write and perform in both film and television and is a spokesperson for ...

Very funny 1985 who-done-it comedy with Susan Sarandon, Raul Julia, Edward Herrmann, Mary Beth Hurt and Joe Mantegna handing in fine performances. When dentist Bruce Fleckstein is murdered and more than a few tearful women show up at his funeral service, a former journalist/patient (Susan Sarandon) wonders if there might be a connection - and a story that might revive her career. Directed by Frank Perry. The real mystery is why this one is not on DVD. Shame.
