If you don’t watch House, this is Dr. Cuddy, the hottest Dean of Medicine ever. Her role on the show is to ruin Dr. House’s fun as well as provide him with an endless amount of sexual tension. I love House. I love Dr. Cuddy. I love Sela Ward’s character, Stacy. And I love the medical mysteries. What I hate are his little slaves/junior doctors and their fucking terrible dialogue and I hate that THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS DIAGNOSTIC MEDICINE. A doctor’s job is to diagnose, therefore every single doctor on planet earth is a “diagnostician”.

Anyway, back to Lisa. I googled her name because someone on Crazy Days & Nights brought her up as a potential blind item answer and mentioned that she was a “huge dyke”. Naturally, my interest was piqued.

Imagine my sheer delight when I uncovered Lisa’s fascinating past: she was a club kid in NYC who used to go by “Lisa E.” and was so popular she was dubbed the “Queen of The Night” by superfag James St. James of Party Monster fame! How awesome is that, especially in light of her playing super straight laced Dr. Cuddy! Club kids, for those of you who don’t remember or were not TV addicts in the 80s like I was (considering I was about 8 and had nothing else to do), were these people:

Not only that, she used the notoriety she gained from being in the club scene to write a musical called “Positive Me” about the AIDS crisis that was happening in mid-1980s NYC. She’s gone on to work in a ton of different roles, including an MTF tranny! And to top it off, she is vegan and rescues dogs!

I wasn’t able to uncover any indication of her gayness, so I think the commenter was perhaps just sharing her fantasies out loud.

In any case, we love you, Dr. Cuddy! Perhaps I will catch you in the club some day! I am proud to call you a broad I like.
