Mindy Burbano graduated from Forest Grove High School in 1986. She attended the University of Oregon in Eugene and the Oregon Health & Science University in Portland.

She lists an assortment of jobs she worked at the start of her career on her Facebook. She was working as a bookkeeper at a local supermarket in the late ’80s. Burbano then spent six years as a dental hygienist at her dad’s practice.

Burbano moved to California where she had a stint as an entertainment reporter with KTLA from 1997 to 2004. She reportedly quit KTLA when the station wouldn’t allow her to participate in The Real Gilligan’s Island with her husband.

She would, of course, go down in entertainment history as “The Rooster Lady” when Oprah Winfrey discovered her talent to make uncanny animal sounds. Her viral moment snowballed into more career opportunities, including covering red carpet events.

Her barnyard animal noises also attracted the attention of director Garry Marshall, who cast her as Princess Mia’s gym teacher on The Princess Diaries. She has appeared in Sabrina: The Teenage Witch, Handy Manny, and 7th Heaven, and narrated for Bridezillas.

In recent years, Mindy Stearns has been focused on philanthropy and supporting causes close to her. With the goal of preserving the country’s natural landscape, she became a board member of the National Parks Foundation in 2018. Her activism has earned her several honors.

Besides managing other new businesses, Mindy made her podcast debut as the cohost of Friendsome and Then Some in 2020.
