- Born on December 5, 1951 in Los Angeles, California, Morgan Brittany was like most little girls and wanted to be an actress. She began her acting career as a child under her real name Suzanne Cupito. Her big break came in the musical film Gypsy, vénus de Broadway (1962), where played the sister of Natalie Wood's character. Morgan's career would continue to grow and would make a name for herself when she landed a role on the soap opera Dallas (1978). On the soap opera, she played Katherine Wentworth, the scheming half-sister of Pamela Ewing and Cliff Barnes. She continues acting but now loves the job of raising her children.
Since 2009, Morgan has been a conservative political commentator appearing on such shows as "Hannity" (FOX News), "The Rick Amato Show" (One America) and "The Kudrow Report" (CNBC). She is also the co-author of the best-selling book "What Women Really Want", released on September 2, 2014. She continues to make appearances all across the United States speaking for conservative values and issues concerning out veterans. She is also the co-owner and anchor for "PolitiChicks", an online news site with a conservative perspective. Morgan also writes a weekly column for "World Net Daily" (WND) and "Townhall Finance".- IMDb mini biography by: Morgan Brittany

- Her agent wanted her to turn down the role of Vivien Leigh in The Scarlett O'Hara War (1980) because the part was designated as a day player. She insisted on doing the role, believing that everyone would be waiting to see the actress playing Leigh. Sure enough, as Vivien Leigh, she was on the cover of countless TV supplements and magazines, and people now knew her name. It also brought her to the attention of producers of Dallas (1978), who cast her in her most famous role.
- Alfred Hitchcock cast her in an uncredited role as a child pecked by birds outside a school in Les Oiseaux (1963). He cast her again the next year in Pas de printemps pour Marnie (1964), but her scene was left on the cutting room floor.
- Was cast as Vivien Leigh in three projects: Le Jour du fléau (1975), Gable et Lombard (1976), and The Scarlett O'Hara War (1980), because her dark hair and very fine features give her an uncanny resemblance to the actress.
- Former Eileen Ford model in New York and Nina Blanchard in Los Angeles. Was a model in NY with Rene Russo, Christie Brinkley and other 70's supermodels.
- Changed her professional name after she grew up (choosing "Morgan Brittany" after spotting the name in the first chapter of Frank Yerby's novel "Floodtide" (1950)), because she found herself typecast by her juvenile roles. "Suzie Cupito" got turned down out of hand for adult roles without even an audition; carrying the same resumé, Morgan Brittany was able to get auditions, and thus win acting jobs as an adult.
- [In 2012, reflecting on how her one-minute scene in The Scarlett O'Hara War (1980) changed her career] It's the search for Scarlett O'Hara and at the very end, I show up and take the hat off and it's the burning of Atlanta. I want to do that! Are you kidding me? That's the climax of the whole movie. I want to do this. I don't care about the money. The money doesn't matter to me. Here's what I wanted my agents to do: I wanted them to get me a separate card credit that says "And Introducing Morgan Brittany as Vivien Leigh." Best choice I ever made in my life! Best choice I ever made! Because of that role, when that movie came out, my picture was on the cover of every supplemental TV guide across the country: "Morgan Brittany as Vivien Leigh." People put a name to the face that they had seen for years on Ultra Bright, Levis and Ford commercials. They didn't know who I was, but now they did. That came to the attention of the Dallas (1978) people. It just domino-ed, and it really was meant to be!
- [on Natalie Wood] She smoked, constantly smoked. I never saw her without a cigarette, ever.
