	Actors - Dee Dee Myers

Dee Dee Myers (born Margaret Jane Myers on 1 September 1961 in Providence, Rhode Island) served as White House Press Secretary for the first two years of the Clinton administration, from January 20 1993 to December 22 1994. In the first months of the Clinton Administration she was widely seen as something of a pretender, as Clinton advisor George Stephanopolous actually conducted the daily press briefings instead of Myers. However, after a few verbal missteps by Stephanopolous early in the administration, Myers was conveniently allowed to serve in the traditional role of the press secretary, and is considered to have had a successful tenure.

Myers holds the distinction of being the only female to serve as White House Press Secretary, as well as being the second-youngest press secretary ever.

Myers is a 1983 graduate of Santa Clara University.

Myers currently lives in Los Angeles, California with her husband Todd Purdum, the Los Angeles Bureau Chief for the New York Times, and their daughter, Katherine. She works as a consultant and contributor to the television show The West Wing, and is also a political commentator on the U.S. cable network MSNBC.

It is believed the character of C.J. Cregg, played by Allison Janney on The West Wing, is based on Myers.
