Martha Quinn

Martha Quinn (born May 11, 1959 in Albany, New York) is best known as one of the original video jockeys on MTV. Prior to joining MTV, Quinn graduated from Ossining High School in 1977 and NYU in 1981. She was part of the early New York Punk scene, briefly dating Dead Boys frontman Stiv Bators, who spoke of Martha's bizarre sexual habits. Though these tales are thought to be false. She got the MTV job even though her prior on-camera experience had been limited to a few television commercials. Rolling Stone magazine readers selected her as "MTV's Best-Ever VJ" years later. Quinn's petite, cutesy, girl-next-girl personality won the hearts of many viewers.
