Now, a test:

Who can identify this star?

She appeared at the con and chatted, took questions, and just had fun. She laughed, got interrupted by calls from her husband, talked about her "famous kegger" and paused for me to take this pic.

I'll give 2 clues: Can you say Buffy or Taken?

Don't know the actress' name, but the character she played on Buffy (& Angel) was Darla, the vampire that sired Angel.

More miauw...
I like blue, I like the girl, I like it so much!
Have you got some more vampire-ladies?

Lol! Timstone Bad Timstone...Lol, Shame you don't live near me, I know too many people like that

I personally thought the redhead in This Picture was nice, but then again i'm a sucker for redheads

And I'm sure i know one of the Girls in this thread I better go re-check my Msn list

Interesting Deastar; now would you be so kind as to tell if Carlisle is closer to Liverpool or to Newcastle? I should book a seat on the first plane that departs in your general direction if you do know one of the girls in this thread. Oh, and if Timstone hasn't fainted yet, I gather he might express a faint interest as well.

I love the River-Buffy girl myself; the actual River has a great dress as well (too bad her face is somewhat hidden in this shot). Perhaps I should revoke my standard policy of not watching sci-fi series. At the very least, I should consider getting that DVD you mentioned.

I highly recommend the DVD, The Gag Reel is just hilarious. And watching the Guy who plays Jayne sing "The Hero of Canton" was great

And Newcastle is closer Unfortuantly she doesn't live nearby, but others just as nice do

Yep, none other than Darla. I can still hear her voice when she showed back up in Angel... "Hello, lover."

Her name is Julie Benz. Not an actor loaded with lots of credits but nothing to be ashamed of. You can see here. She was a load of fun, making fun of herself, and told us a long story about giving a party for the actors in her class (and trying to attract the instructor, who she married later and has been married to for 6 years). Told another story of how she got "star-struck" when she had to do a scene with "Jack" (Jack Nicholson. For those who follow his impressive career, you know by now that he is simply, "Jack").

She was very friendly, laughed a lot, and hung around after nearly all the other famous people left the "autograph" area and just chatted.

And she did it herself. By that, I mean, no famous father, brother, etc.

I like her.

I can't recommend Firefly enough! As a dedicated "Trekkie", I STOPPED watching Enterprise for Firefly. The series (well, ex-series) has (had) multiple plots going on, some unique characters (not re-hashed stuff), and a wonderful writing staff. Check out the "Out of Gas" episode for a very good example of writing technique! Absolutely wonderful piece.

But back to River (Summer Glau). She's a "cinderella story" herself. Besides her natural ability to act the part she has, she has that pouty/soulful looks and innocent yet sexy stage presence. By "cinderella story", I mean this. Nearly NO acting experience yet in a major Universal movie. I guess Joss saw in her the same thing I see. (grin)

The gag reel on the DVD is the shortened Version! As an insider (grin), I have the WHOLE reel. It's twice as long as the one on the DVD.

While I was at Dragon*Con, I met a few other people a bit closer to the action. Jeremy, who's site is here, is a guy who owns his own multimedia company (in Utah, USA). He made this site that has one purpose...to try to help the first weekend's box office totals of the movie, "Serenity" be a hit. If it does well, Universal will make two more! Check out his "Guerilla Marketing" suggestions . He also appears in the movie as an extra (a monk tattooed on the back of his head that tries to put the "move" on a prostitute). He is a very nice guy.

And another guy was there helping run the Firefly Fan Table. I didn't know it till the Last day but he is a close personal friend of Jewel Stait. Jewel went to a birthday party there and this guy was invited. He has known her for 7 years and though she is in the "biz", still keeps in touch with him. Nice to see that people don't get so "big-headed" that they forget their friends.

(If you can't tell, I'm a Firefly fan!)
