We’ve added to the gallery screen captures from one of our favorite JoAnna films; “A Very Merry Daughter of the Bride“! We’ll add film stills, some clips to our video archive and some icons later. We hope you like the captures!
A wedding planner looks to persuade her mother not to marry a man she’s only known for a brief period of time, until an unexpected development forces her to re-examine her feelings.
JoAnna recently did an interview for her friend Eva Amurri Martino’s blog “Happily Eva After”! The blog post also contained two new unseen photoshoot outtakes, which have been added to our gallery. You can read parts of the interview below, but make sure you head over to Happily Eva After for the full version!
Joanna Garcia Swisher is a Mom-on-the-go. You know her from TV’s “Reba” and “Privileged”, as well as the recent (and awesome) “Astronaut Wives’ Club”. Her new film, “Fist Fight” will be coming out in 2016! Moving her family from city to city constantly is just part of the territory when you’re a celebrated Actress who is married to a Major League Baseball Star (Nick Swisher!), but to do it all with a baby in tow? That takes a miracle. (Or rather, a miraculously-organized Mama and Wife!) In this week’s “Eight By Eva” Joanna inspires those trying to have it all, especially because one of the most refreshing things about this gorgeous gal is that she has a clear handle on what “it all” means to her. Besides being hilarious, charming, and intelligent, Joanna is elegantly personifying the “family first” motto. Below, she answers my eight favorite questions:
1. What is the best parenting advice you have received?
The best advice I have ever received is to trust your instincts and make sure to take care
of yourself, too! When I first had Emme, I was so focused on doing everything ‘right’ or
‘by the book’ that I forgot to listen to my gut and have confidence in that.
For instance, breastfeeding was really hard for me. Emme had severe reflux and I cut pretty much everything out of my diet that could potentially exacerbate her condition or upset her little tummy. In the process of doing that, my milk production plummeted. I was so
disappointed in myself– the guilt I had was overwhelming. After 6 weeks of solid effort,
my husband held my hand, and begged me to consider being kinder to myself and to stop the
constant guilt trip I was putting myself through. Once I stopped worrying about what I
‘should’ be doing, started focusing on what was best for Emme and giving myself
some much needed TLC, the joy and excitement of Mommyhood was limitless!2. What is your greatest challenge as a parent?
Both my husband and I have very intense and demanding jobs. We both are so lucky to
be able to do what we love, and the journey is that much sweeter now that we have our
little family to experience it with– but we are truly always on the move. Last year, we
moved from Arizona to Cleveland due to Nick’s work– and I shot my last show on location
in New Orleans. Our latest adventure is setting up shop in Atlanta after Nick
was traded to the Braves! All incredible blessings, but I would be lying if I said it didn’t
stress me to the max when I think of what a little trooper Emme is. I’m always searching
for new gymnastics, soccer, or reading classes in each new city to make sure she is
stimulated, and still getting to do all the fun things kids her age love. Giving her a
sense of normalcy in our crazy little world is challenging, but I truly believe she will
benefit from this moment in her life, and hopefully it will make for a more well-rounded
little lady.
The Ice Cube-Charlie Day brawl has three new combatants. Tracy Morgan — who lit up the Emmy Awards last night — Dennis Haysbert are in negotiations and JoAnna Garcia Swisher is set to join the cast of Fist Fight, New Line‘s comedy about a mild-mannered English teacher (Day) who is put to the test when a colleague (Cube) who thinks he is trying to get him fired end up in an epic fist fight after school. Veteran TV helmer Richie Keen is making his feature debut with the pic.
Details of the Morgan and Haysbert characters remain under wraps, while Garcia Swisher is Maggie, the devoted and loving wife of Andy Campbell (Day) who is at least nine months pregnant and convinced that he’s not going to be fired.
Fist Fight is Morgan’s first announced project since he was critically injured in a traffic accident June 2014 in New Jersey. The SNL and 30 Rock alum was in a coma for eight days after a limo van in which he was riding was struck by a speeding Walmart semi. A settlement was reached in the caseearlier this year. Comic James “Jimmy Mack” McNair, Morgan’s friend and mentor, died in the wreck.
Garcia Swisher was a regular on ABC’s summer drama The Astronaut Wives Club and has starred in TV series including Animal Practice, Better With You, Privileged and Reba. Other recent credits include Once Upon A Time, The Mindy Project and Royal Pains. She is repped by WME and John Carrabino Management.
Repped by Gersh and GS Management, 24 alum Haysbert co-starred on Fox’s Backstrom, and his recent feature credits include Ted 2, Think Like A Man Too and Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. He next appears in the Syfy pilot Incorporated from Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.
Dean Norris and Jillian Bell also star in Fist Fight, which was scripted by Evan Susser & Van Robichaux and David Hornsby. Shawn Levy, Max Greenfield and John Rickard are producing, with Ice Cube, Day, Dan Cohen, Marty Ewing and Billy Rosenberg as exec producers. Richard Brener, Samuel J. Brown and Dave Neustadter are overseeing for the studio. Principal photography is set to start this month in Atlanta. SOURCE

Yesterday (August 10), JoAnna turned 36 years old! We at JoAnna Garcia Online would like to wish her a warm happy birthday – if you somehow happen to read this JoAnna, we hope you had an amazing birthday with all the people you love. We love you! Jo has already achieved so much in her 36 years, and we can’t wait to see what the future holds her. Stay tuned here at the website, as we have some celebration to do 😉
We posted a little notice on twitter about the lack of updates, but for those who may not follow us there: the biggest fan site host recently shut down. Thankfully we weren’t hosted there, but we have a lot of friends who were, and we have therefore been extremely busy helping them anyway we can. A lot of the sites are moving over to our server, which is why there has been a lot of downtime lately. Please stay patient – everything will be back running smoothly in a couple of days.
