Ruby Wax (born April 19, 1953) is an United
States|American female comedian|comedienne who
made a career in the United Kingdom as part of the
alternative comedy scene in the 1980s. 

Originally she had been a straight Actor|actress,
working at the Royal Shakespeare Company alongside
Juliet Stevenson. 

Her popularity in terms of comedy came from her
interviewing skills in which she was always
forthright, brash and loud, conforming to the
British stereotype of an United States of
America|American. Her physical appearance
conformed to this image, with large hair and
blood-red Cosmetics|lipstick.

Many of her early television shows involved her
being put into a situation where she simply met
and interviewed people, mostly extraordinary
members of the public (including a memorable visit
to
pre-History_of_the_Soviet_Union_(1985-1991)#Yeltsi
n_and_the_dissolution_of_the_Soviet_Union|breakup
Soviet Union|Soviet Russia in which she first
hated and then touchingly made friends with her
female Translation|translator, explaining in ways
that words can't the grim situation in the country
at the time).

More recently she's made a career from
interviewing Celebrity|celebrities such as Imelda
Marcos and Pamela Anderson, where she again
applies her abrasive and cheeky interviewing
style, often to jaw-dropping effect. She also
makes many guest appearances in Absolutely
Fabulous and other similar sitcoms.

She is married to television producer and director
Ed Bye.
