Marjorie O'Neill Clapprood[1] (born September 24, 1949 in Boston, Massachusetts [2] ) is a former Massachusetts politician and talk show host who served as a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives from 1985–1991.
Clapprood was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1984. In 1990, she was a candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts in 1990, winning the Democratic nomination, but losing in the general election.
Following her defeat, Clapprood joined WHDH radio as a talk show host and taught a class at Clark University. In 1992, she joined the newly launched New England Cable News.[3] In 1993, Lifetime hired Clapprood to host a late-night public affairs talk show called Clapprood Live.[4]
Clapprood moved her radio show to WRKO in May 1993, where she remained until 1997.[5]
In 1998, Clapprood ran for the United States House of Representatives seat in Massachusetts's 8th congressional district. She finished fifth in a ten-way Democratic primary with 12.29% of the vote.[6]
Clapprood returned to radio in 2000, hosting the midday show at WMEX. She left the station when it was sold later that year.
