Brenda Lee Strong was born on March 25, 1960 in Brightwood, Oregon and is a graduate of Sandy High School in Sandy, Oregon. For her tertiary education, Strong headed to Arizona and studied at Arizona State University, from where she graduated with a Bachelor of Music degree in musical theater. In 1980, Strong won the title of Miss Arizona.
In 1984, she appeared in Billy Crystal’s You Look Marvelous music video, and then transitioned into minor roles in known television series, such as St. Elsewhere, MacGyver, Cheers, Dallas, Star Trek: The Next Generation, Grapevine, Picket Fences, Silk Stalkings, ER, Matlock, Murphy Brown, Herman’s Head, Blossom and Twin Peaks.
Actually, Strong's television-heavy resumé reads like a best-of prime-time series list -- including not only Seinfeld, but Ally McBeal, Nip/Tuck, Gilmore Girls, 7th Heaven, and others. Strong remains best known, however, for her pivotal contribution to Desperate Housewives as the ill-fated Mary Alice Young, a social-climbing hausfrau who commits suicide in the opening episode of the program, and then hangs around (in a regular voice-over) to offer acerbic observations from the afterlife about her backstabbing earthbound friends. In addition to her television work, Strong also landed bit parts in such features as Spaceballs (1987), The Craft (1996), and Starship Troopers 2 (2004). Strong hosted a series of exercise videos in the early 2000s as well, among them Yoga 4 Fertility (2001) and Yoga 4 Partners (2002).
Strong's character has narrated all but two episodes of the series. One of the two exceptions was the episode narrated by Steven Culp when his character Rex Van de Kamp was killed by George Williams in Season 1. The other episode was narrated by Nicollette Sheridan during the episode in which her character Edie Britt was killed in 2009.
