Kathy Griffin In Julie Brown's Madonna Spoof (VIDEO)

Before there was Kathy Griffin, there was Julie Brown. Who helped introduce Kathy Griffin.

Brown, who is famous for her parody songs and sniping at celebrities, with the height of her fame during the 80's and 90's, created a hit parody of Madonna's 1991 documentary, "Truth or Dare." Brown plays Madonna -- but in this excerpt, it's Kathy Griffin that gets the starring role.

Playing a Madonna friend named Taffy, a then-32 year oldGriffin is dared to kiss a gay man named Stinky -- which she does with gusto. Shades of her future career, perhaps?

that poor girl is not the least bit attractive. I think that explains her hostility toward attractive people.

The top photo looks like Screech from "Saved by the Bell" playing Kathy Griffin in a made for TV movie.

She still does not look good, sadly. No wonder she hates Palin so much.
