Artist
Best known for her interpretation of ABBA's 'Dancing Queen', Bunny Swan (Alex Borstein), also known as Miss Swan, was born on November 25, 1966 (although in one sketch from 2000, she said she was two years old, and once she stated that she was over 100 years old) and lives at 1040 North Las Palmas (the address for Hollywood Center Studios, at the time home to MADtv). She is 5'2" and weighs 145 lbs., as shown on a sketch when she goes to the DMV. Miss Swan works as a manicurist at the Gorgeous Pretty Beauty Nail Salon (which she mispronounces as "Goja Pitty Booty Nay Salon"), or the Gorgeous Beauty Nail Salon for short. Miss Swan's ethnicity and native country are unclear, although the character exhibits Asian stereotypes. In one sketch, while at Customs, it is revealed that Ms. Swan is from the fictional country of Kouvaria, near the North Pole. Although in one sketch where she is leaving a chain of her salons, the setting of the area suggests that she is from Asia. MADtv execs insist the character was based on the singer Björk; she was compared to Björk in one sketch, once claimed to look like Björk, was referred to as Icelandic by the Vancome Lady in another, and wore Björk's infamous swan dress in another. When a man asked her where she was from, she replied she lived downtown. One sketch shows Miss Swan being fluent in Spanish while using an ATM. She told a man in a bar that her mother was Spanish, but her father was from Space. In Swan: The Homecoming, a film she made
