Who is
Mrs. Brennan?
Interview with The Faces of Bethesda & Chevy Chase
Marianne Brennan is a dynamic, contemporary anachronism. She and her business, Mrs. Brennan’s School of Etiquette, are on a mission to remind our often frenetic world of the credo embossed on her calling card, “No matter where we are in time, manners never go out of style.”
“Part of the reason that we’ve lost our ability to be civil is because we are all moving too fast, doing too many things at once,” Marianne said as we shared some of our memories of days gone by on a Monday afternoon in Potomac. “I get all of that; society is changing all of the time, but I feel that manners should not change.”
A fifth-generation Washingtonian, Marianne has deep roots in a community that is continuously experiencing evolution and redefinition. A virtual renaissance woman, she has worked in careers as diverse as being one of the first women assigned to a scout car as a Washington, DC Metropolitan police officer, to representing major brands, designers, and department stores as a professional model.
