Monday, July 10, 2006 at 2:53AM Jerri Blank is practically a Chicagoan herself, what with her creator Amy Sedaris having been through the Second City program with "Strangers With Candy" co-creators Stephen Colbert and Paul Dinello. But did you know that the 46-year old former prostitute and recovering drug addict Blank had a real-life inspiration? A 47-year old, yes, former prostitute and recovering drug addict. Her name was Florrie Fisher, and she toured high schools across America in the 1970's, verbally bludgeoning kids with her special brand of bombastic, wild-eyed anti-drug message. With the clips up at YouTube it's pretty clear than Amy nailed it - the hair, the grimacing facial expressions, the rambling intensity.
