Bree Walker Career
She began her television career as a consumer advocacy reporter at KGTV in San Diego in 1980. Walker, who is well-established and well-advanced in her career at KGTV, decided to go public with her ectrodactyly after previously concealing her hands inside a pair of glove-like prosthetics. She continued her newscasting career at KGTV with them now clearly visible. Walker has also dabbled in acting, appearing as herself in Without Warning (credited as Bree Walker-Lampley but referred to on screen as Bree Walker) and as Wendy Sorenson, a television reporter, in The Chase. She also appeared as a guest on an episode of the PBS children’s show Reading Rainbow to discuss her disability.
Walker noticed that no cast members had ectrodactyly while watching the 2003 season of Carnivàle, an HBO television series about a Depression-era carnival traveling through the Dust Bowl. Sabina the Scorpion Lady was a role she requested, created, auditioned for, and won. During the 2005 season, she played Sabina in three episodes. She displayed her webbed hands as the series investigated public attitudes toward people with visible disabilities. Sabina was inspired by characters she saw in carnival sideshows in the 1920s and 1930s with names like “Lobster Girl” or “Lobster Boy.” Walker’s acting career took off in 2006 when she appeared on the fourth season premiere of Nip/Tuck as an inspirational woman with ectrodactyly.
Walker collaborated with Jon Elliott as the on-camera narrator for the feature-length documentary film Save KLSD: Media Consolidation and Local Radio, which premiered in April 2012. It examines the dwindling number of corporations that control the majority of what Americans see and hear on television, radio, newspapers, and magazines. It took over four years to complete and was produced by Jon Monday and Jennifer Douglas, who distributed it through mondayMEDIA. She also appears as an expert in the film, speaking at a media reform conference. She and her children appeared on an episode of TLC’s My Unique Family; she refuses to comment on rumors that she has silicone lip implants.
