Local talking head Bree Walker can be seen on HBO series Carnivale. She plays a circus sideshow character called Sabina the Scorpion Lady, which debuted last season and can be seen in three upcoming shows starting Sunday at 9 p.m. Walker was born with ectrodactyly, a congenital deformity in which her fingers and toes are fused together, which she displays in the show.

Walker broke into broadcasting in 1974 as a DJ in Kansas City. In 1979 she was identified as the "rock lady of the nighttime" on the now-defunct KPRI. She has also worked at Channel 10 and Channel 7/39.
