Nancy O'Dell
A Star Committed to Babies
By Jessica Williams
"I think they were looking for a young woman who possibly might want to have children in the future, and who had a national forum to get the message out," O'Dell says. "It's funny because shortly before they called, I was wishing there was some way I could help my community and benefit people because I have a national forum. I said a little prayer, and it worked out perfectly."
Not only will O'Dell be raising awareness through her cameo appearances, but she also will be raising money for the March of Dimes.
"Because of union rules, each program is required to pay you a certain amount to do a cameo appearance," she says, "which I will donate to the March of Dimes. It should be a lot of fun – the programs are excited about it, too."
O'Dell also has confided that a large corporation, whose name she could not mention, plans to donate money to the March of Dimes each time one of her cameos airs. In addition, O'Dell plans to generate interest from other shows, without appearing in a cameo role.
"We are trying to get some of the morning shows, along with some of the news shows, to wear blue jeans," she says. "And when I go on the programs to talk about the campaign, hopefully [the hosts] will participate by being in jeans that day for us."
