  • In the realm of television commercials, one queen reigns benevolently above all - and her name? Flo. The fictional Progressive salesperson has been charming the pants off of TV viewers for decades - but what's the actor behind all that retro makeup really like?

    Stephanie Courtney's character is perfectly realized in every one of Flo's escapades. They are all good and entertaining. I like the small ones, like when Flo steps out of the darkness to pass along some information about insurance, then steps back into the shadows and the guys tell her, "We can still see you." And, I like the large-cast series, where Courtney's "Flo" plays all the characters in her family. But, you really have to credit the writers and producers, as well.

    I actually met Stefanie on a Progressive Insurance commercial years ago, I drove a motor home for her commercial. I was totally impressed with her, she sat down with the crew for lunch and told us how she got the Progressive insurance job. She was just like anyone. Stefanie was so nice to us, I think she is an awesome actress and comedian.

    Stephanie was also on the show, "Mad Men," although briefly. I think that's why they use Jon Hamm (who portayed Don Draper in the show) in Progressive commercials - it's kind of a running joke. In the commercials, Hamm has a crush on Flo, but she blows him off every time. Don Draper would never be so "devoted" to a woman. Women just flocked around him, lol.

We weren’t there but he’s a pretty honest guy and rarely has said anything unflattering about celebs (if you call a commercial actress that) he has encountered. Personally, I’m over seeing Flo. She gets the mute button fast. “Chaos”, now he’s funny!

      I've seen videos where Katharine Hepburn was said to be unpleasant to others too, but I never noticed than when we exchanged notes for years. She was so appreciative for a book I sent her about Spencer Tracy (she had never seen it before) and I was surprised when I learned, later, that she didn't give autographs. Each note was typed by her secretary, but Katharine signed all of them. No matter what anyone says, I think she was a great gracious lady.

    PS: "Decades"? Yikes! (I know! I just became 59 on the 19th.)
    By the way, "Progressive Flo" is a pun of "Progressive Flow"! 😂
    Decades ago, the insurance team lived and worked inside the "Digital Realm" because dropping a smartphone caused them to experience quakes! 😳
    Also, to promote "bundling" they needed physical props that could be easily bundled. So, instead of an insurance office, they had the produce section of a supermarket or grocery store, hence the aprons! They were dressed to look like employees who stocked produce.
    Later on, some of the product boxes began to resemble other items that could be found in a store in which the employees wore aprons. 😀
    They could all be bundled together as needed!
    So, were customers virtual customers shopping on-line? That's what it seemed like.
    Then the next thing you know, in addition to Jed being a millionaire, Flo is interacting with jugglers at a California beach! At some point they began to interact with customers in the physical world! 🙄 😮

    She is beautiful. I've had a crush on Flo since she first aired. Her smile is one of the most contagious ever. This woman has talent in spades. We all know she's a comedic genius. I'll bet if she was given a dramatic role, she would nail that as well. Cheers and God bless Ms. Courtney! See you in the movies!
    Edit: I added a bit more info. on Stephanie's background and training. Below is copied from "IMDB":
    ---Stephanie Courtney is a main company member of the famed Groundlings Theater in Los Angeles, regularly performing in their sketch and improv shows. She hails from Stony Point, New York. After graduating from the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York City, she started doing stand up, which brought her to Los Angeles. She's been invited to perform her stand up at the Aspen Comedy Festival twice. She also performed in Aspen in "Those Courtney Girls", a show she co-wrote with her sister, Jennifer, and in the Mr. Show Tour, "Hooray for America".---(End quote)
    If a person can do "Stand-up Comedy", they can do anything. A few examples in dramatic roles:
    Jim Carey - "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" (2004)
    Kevin Pollak - "A Few Good Men" (1992)
    Robin Williams - "Good Will Hunting" (1997)
    Etc., etc.
