Last week, “06880” reported that Kelli O’Hara and Justin Paul were nominated for Emmy Awards.
That’s only half the story.
Two other Westporters are also in the running for television’s highest honor.
Britt Baron (Brittany Uomoleale)
Britt Baron is part of the “GLOW” ensemble that’s up for Outstanding Comedy Series.
If her name is not familiar, try Brittany Uomoleale. That’s how she was known at Staples High School, where the 2009 graduate starred in Players productions like “Romeo and Juliet.”
Jeanie Bacharach-Burke, meanwhile, is nominated for her part in Outstanding Casting for a Comedy Series. The 1981 Staples alum works on Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
Congratulations to all 4 nominees. We’re rooting for you — and any other Westporters we may have missed!
This is no surprise to me as a 2007 graduate to see Brittany being honored for her talent and hard work but especially her gift to transform into the characters she plays and feel. Best of luck Brittany!
