Morgan started pursuing a career in acting when she attended Birmingham-Southern College, where she studied musical theatre and after finishing her studies, moved to New York City. She took part in various events such as concerts and reading, and became an original cast member of the production “Freckleface Strawberry”. She continued her career by starring in a production of “Sweet Charity” during 2011, and then appeared in the drama “Circumstance”, followed by i the series “Access Hollywood” and was a part of “Unexpected Guest”. She also had a role in “Boardwalk Empire” alongside Craig T. Nelson. Goodwin was also part of “Manhattan Love Story”, and was a regular for the pilot of the series “Coach”. These contributed steadily to her net worth.
Eventually Morgan’s popularity would increase, and then she was selected to become part of the advertising campaign “Now That’s Better” by Wendy’s Restaurants. She became the face of the company, and the commercials featuring her started to air in 2012. This improved her net worth dramatically, and gave her a significant boost in popularity. Her string of commercials include scenes such as having a date in Wendy’s and cheering up kids using a Wendy’s frosty; she also appeared in a music video spoof that’s part of the advertising campaign. Because of the popularity of the commercials, she’s been compared to celebrities such as Alyson Hannigan and Lisa Foiles.
More opportunities came Morgan’s way, such as the HBO show “Veep” in which she’s now a recurring cast member. Morgan is also very popular in social media, having more than 10,000 followers on Twitter, plus 20,000 ‘likes’ on her Facebook page and over 8,000 followers on Instagram. Her popularity has created numerous fan pages, though she’s also received criticism especially from people who don’t like the fast food chain Wendy’s.
For her personal life, she is married to Dave Goodwin who is the manager of Gramercy Tavern in New York City. Her hair color is naturally dark blonde, but she had to dye it to fit her Wendy’s role. This was done in order to closely resemble the original Wendy’s girl, Wendy Thomas who is the daughter of the fast food chain founder, who last appeared in a 2011 commercial.
