If you could sum anyone’s career up in one sentence it would mean that they haven’t done enough and possibly don’t deserve the fame they have, or it could mean that they’ve done their best to keep things simple. Cecily Strong however is one of those that seems as though she wanted to do one thing with her life and while she got to do it there didn’t seem to be much else. But thankfully she’s still moving forward in her career and there’s no doubt she’ll be known for more than her time on SNL. Being a one-hit wonder or one-trick pony isn’t much to go on in show business as many people have found out to their detriment, and it’s usually better to have something to fall back on or something to look forward to in terms of a career. So far in her time in the spotlight Cecily has shown that she isn’t bound to go away anytime soon, as her fans no doubt appreciate.
Here are a few things you might not have known about Cecily.
10. She grew up idolizing Saturday Night Live.
Cecily would actually perform SNL skits that she’d watched in front of those who would sit and pay attention, meaning family and friends. From a very young age she wanted to be a part of the show and grew up watching some of the best that the program had to offer.
9. Cecily was particular taken with Chris Hemsworth when he hosted SNL.
She was heard to say that Hemsworth was actually the most charming host that had been on the show in a long time in her opinion. That certainly seems true but one can’t discount the number of hosts that have been so inherently wonderful over the years. But yeah, she is right.
8. Her career started at Second City.
This where a lot of people have gotten their start over the years and it’s become rather famous for that fact since some of the greatest comedians of our time have managed to start here and move onward in a manner that has made them into legends.
7. She’s done a great deal to keep her personal life private.
It’s almost amusing to think that any celebrity can keep their personal lives private these days but they do try and they are able to at times. While it’s not a secret who she’s dating she does attempt to make sure that she gets enough personal time in her life.
6. Her net worth is around $1 million.
That seems kind of low for a celebrity but in all fairness it’s usually about what they make and the assets they have to draw upon. It could be that she’s just getting started when it comes to her career and will be worth a great deal more later on.
5. She’s performed in a few different venues.
Cecily has been around in terms of performing and she’s done a few things that people probably don’t know about unless they’ve followed her career for a while. A lot of folks need to remember that people don’t just show up on TV fresh out of nowhere to start showcasing talent that’s never been tested. A lot of actors and performers have been around for years, just without gaining the kind of exposure they’ve wanted.
4. So far social media has been good to her.
She’s pretty active on social media and has been keeping up with a lot of her followers it sounds like. This does seem like it would be exhausting though and take up a lot of a person’s time, though if you tend to send just a few tweets out in the hopes that people understand your meaning then it might take care of itself.
3. At this point she’s appeared in a few movies.
Cecily has managed to show up here and there in a few movies where she’s been seen, but to this date SNL has really been her staging ground. Eventually it seems likely that she’ll end up on a TV show or in a movie that will feature her in some big way. That’d be interesting to watch no doubt.
2. She’s in her 30s at this time.
She still has a lot of time to develop her career in any way she wants since despite a lot of people starting younger there are still people in their later years keeping their careers alive and well. It just takes the drive to want to keep pushing and moving forward.
1. A lot of her characters on SNL have been seen as either ditzy or unintelligent.
Everyone seems to find their hook on the show and she’s definitely found her own. Whether people think this is funny or not is all up to them, but it’s all a matter of how comfortable a person is doing their own material.
She’s an interesting person to be certain.
