It is the largest nutrition program of the FNS, and benefits are dependent on the household’s size, expenses, as well as their income.
Television Work
O’Grady’s talents in performing, and her consistent commercial work eventually landed her a role in the 2013 ABC sitcom entitled “Trophy Wife” – created by Sarah Haskins, it ran for just one season consisting of 22 episodes. The series focused on a young party girl who married a middle aged lawyer, leading her to become involved with her husband’s two ex-wives as well as his three children.
The series aimed to explore marriage as well as the generation gap, tackling modern family dynamics. After her run with “Trophy Wife”, she was cast in the television series entitled “The Messengers” which aired on The CW during the following year, but was cancelled after one season.The show follows the story of a mysterious object which hits the earth, sending a shockwave that causes five people to die, only for them to be revived again moments later.
They then discover that they have supernatural gifts, leading them on a collision course with each other, as they discover they might be the only hope for an impending rupture.
Star and Recent Endeavors
One of Brittany’s latest and most notable projects is as one of the lead characters in the Fox musical drama series entitled “Star”, alongside Ryan Destiny and Jude Demorest, which follows the story of three young singers as they go along their road to success in the music industry.

Other stars of the show include Benjamin Bratt, Queen Latifah, and Quincy Brown. The show also starred Amiyah Scott, making her the third openly transgender person to play a similarly gendered character in a scripted series, following Laverne Cox and Jamie Clayton.
The show aired for three seasons and was a collaboration between Lee Daniels Entertainment and 20th Century Fox Television. The show also premiered on Netflix, but was cancelled in 2019.
