The Storied Career of Cree Summer

“How much is in a ‘brazillion’?”

Ahh…nothing like ruining a punchline. Anyways, you know who has the most impressive IMDB profile I’ve ever seen? Cree Summer. Yes, THAT Cree Summer.

For any black kid over the age of 20, Cree Summer is best known as “Freddie”, the weird hippie chick from “A Different World”. But to everyone else, Blacks and Whites, she’s best known as the voice of Elmira on “Tiny Toons”. But it doesn’t end there. It can be argued that there hasn’t been a cartoon made during the past 20 yrs that Cree didn’t have a hand in. I kid you not. Who knew she was also Penny from “Inspector Gadget”. PENNY! The chick who solvedall the mysteries with her dog! That character is a CLASSIC! Plus, as an added bonus, Cree’s brother is Rainbow Francks, who plays “Lt. Aiden Ford” on “Stargate: Atlantis”. Regarding that, Cree played a character in the Disney animated “Atlantis”, while he brother stars in “Stargate: Atlantis”. How odd. Damn, halfy hippies…

Anydangways, I’m all geeked out, but it’s definitely worth checking out. What? You expected me to post a link? You should know I’m WAY too lazy for that. You’ll find it. I have faith in ya…
