DWTS Couple Profile: Marissa and Tony
March 16th, 2008
Just retired from competition at the Ohio Star Ball, Tony Dovolani comes back to compete on Dancing With The Stars Season 6. This is his fifth season on the show. The sometimes goofy Albanian Tony has become one of the familiar faces of DWTS. Once a Finalist on Dancing With The Stars, Tony Dovolani slid to the middle of the pack. For Season 6, Tony will seek to regain his place in the Finals with Tony award winning Marissa Jaret Winokur.
Marissa is best known for her Tony Award winning performance as Tracy Turnblad in the Broadway musical hit Hairspray. Her recent projects includes a Farrelly Brothers film Fever Pitch and TV series Stacked. Yet to be finished are film series Fugly and Betrayals.
The challenge for Marissa, this time, is to play the role of a DWTS Finalist; to be the sexy Latin chick and the classy and graceful half of a Fred and Ginger number; replace lines with patterns and foot work. Tony’s job is to let audience fall in love with Marissa. The dance floor is but a stage.
