The Real Jerri Blank

You've all watched and laughed at Amy Sedaris' character, Jerri Blank, in Stangers with Candy but did you know that her part is actually based on a real woman. Her name was Florrie Fisher and she did, in fact, live many years as a drug addict and after recovery became a motivational speaker to students in the 1960's and 1970's. The resemblance is truly uncanny.
