Rebecca Cusey
Bio
As an entertainment reporter, Rebecca Cusey has done it all: celebrity interviews, reviews, trend pieces, and event coverage. Her work has appeared in USA Today, The Huffington Post, The Washington Post, The Washington Times, The Houston Chronicle, Comcast.net, World Magazine, National Review Online, Relevant Magazine, Beliefnet.com, and many other outlets. She's also worked on-camera, interviewing actors and hosting movie review segments on TV. Rebecca writes a weekly column for Comcast.net, and is a member of the Television Critics Association and the Washington DC Area Film Critics Association. Rebecca's other full-time job is caring for three children and one wonderful husband.
12 Things to Know About Rebecca:
1. You won¹t really understand me unless you¹ve watched this movie(s):
No Country for Old Men and The Muppets Take Manhattan. Pretty much sums me up.
2. I¹m most liable to get choked up when I hear about:
I get choked up when I attend school functions and hear elementary shool kids reciting the Pledge of Allegiance or singing the National Anthem. Gets me every time.
3. If I had a completely free day to do anything I wanted, I would:
Fly to Barcelona but be home in time for an evening with my husband.
4. My kids drive me crazy when they:
Kick. Scream. Hit. Fight. Then deny they did it.
5. I drive my kids crazy when I:
Tell them they drive me crazy. I often sing it to the tune of "She Drives Me Crazy" by Fine Young Cannibals. That's even worse.
6. If you¹re going to give me a gift card, get me one from this store:
Apple, but only if it's enough for an iPhone. Not that I'm jealous of hip people with iPhones. Not at all.
7. I¹m most proud of my kids when they:
Apologize when they've done wrong. Also proud of adults who apologize. It's a hard lesson to learn for all ages.
8. If I had a million dollars to give to a charity, I'd give it to:
Adoption services. Although I've always had a fantasy of just handing out money myself.
9. My go-to comfort food(s):
Salt and Vinegar chips. BBQ ribs. Hohos. Taco Bell Steak Chalupa Supreme. Shall I go on?
10. If I could snap my finger and make some problem in the world go away, it would be:
For every child to have a parent who loves them and fights for them, whether biological or not.
11. Home chore or professional task I hate to do:
All of them. If they're fun, they're not chores.
12. I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that I watch or read:
