The Target Lady
Maria Bamford is an esteemed comedian first, commercial actress second, and a true frontrunner of bringing the "unusual" to dry corporate commercials. She initially began her long career as a stand-up comedian and aspiring voice actor. She went on a few successful comedy tours, had a role in the film Lucky Numbers, and then starred in the hilariously weird Target commercials we all know and love.
Bamford's Future
Nowadays, Bamford has reached her goal and focuses entirely on voice acting. She was picked up because of her work done in the Target commercials that she got several more gigs on premiere programs like American Dad!, Bojack Horseman, CatDog, Adventure Time, and a few more. She earned $300,000 for her work with the Target ads, and even though she could have been paid a bit more, she still got out with everything she wanted.
