This Is What Happened To The Wendy's Girl Who Was All Over TV A Few Years Ago

Remember the enthusiastic redhead who fronted Wendy’s ad campaign in the early 2010s? Well, you’re probably unlikely to forget. After all, her ads were pretty much everywhere at the time. And they proved to be some of the era’s most divisive, too. But was the actress as entertaining/annoying in real life? And what’s she been up to since leaving the world of corny TV commercials behind.

Multiple ads

The woman in question appeared in multiple adverts for the fast-food chain. There was the commercial centered on the flatbread grilled chicken, for example, in which she impressed a friend with her choice of “gourmet lunch.” Audiences at home were less impressed with the kooky dance moves she made while he, for reasons unknown, filmed her holding said sandwich.

Soft rock parodies

Then there was the bizarre 1980s soft-rock parody video in which she pines over an old favorite pretzel bacon cheeseburger. But her rain-soaked sense of despair disappears when she discovers that all of the burger’s calorific goodness is going back on the Wendy’s menu. It remains a mystery, though, as to whether the voice belting out Eric Carmen’s “All By Myself” is really hers.

Italian greetings

And what about the ad focusing on the Tuscan chicken on ciabatta in which she greets a friend outside a Wendy’s the Italian way — by kissing him on both cheeks? When in Rome as the two pals say. Confused by this new form of saying hello, another acquaintance then ends up planting his lips on a poor woman he doesn’t even know.

Consolation Frosty

The Wendy’s girl also appeared in a commercial in which she saved her tight-fisted date some cash by opting for fast food over an expensive restaurant. Elsewhere, she dished out advice to a stranger on the life-changing power of side dishes and called out a colleague for having the audacity to get a burger from somewhere other than Wendy’s. And the actress also helped to console a little leaguer who’d just tasted defeat.
