News / Archive - February 2003

February 28, 2003 An additional article, some DVD/Video news, and more kudos from one actor to another ... I've transcribed a 1999 Venice Magazine (a local Los Angeles-area magazine) that featured an interview with Annabeth. I know I must sound as if I'm repeating myself, but all of Annabeth's interviews really are a joy to read. :) This one is no exception - particularly in how she discusses preparing for her role as a mentally handicapped woman in the TV-movie, Different, as well as her thoughts on Hollywood stardom. Read it all here. :) || "I know that I'm not even going to hit my stride until I'm 32. For some reason, I'm fixated on 32. What the hell is going to happen to me then?" (Annabeth, Venice Magazine, May 1999) || Pursuit of Happiness is scheduled to be released on DVD/Video on May 20, 2003 from MTI Video. I'm assuming this is a Region 1 DVD (USA/Canada) / NTSC Video release. You can head over to either the MTI Video site of or the Pursuit of Happiness Official Site for more details. (Thanks to SunReyes for the heads-up!) || And finally ... this is a great quote ... "Annabeth has a GREAT laugh! It was always fun to get her laughing on the set. I would absolutely work with her again." (Robert Patrick, Official Site Interview, February 2003) || Have a great Friday and a nice weekend! :)

February 27, 2003 Articles, pics and an admin note ... I've transcribed two older People Magazine articles from August 2001 and February 1996. Both articles are fairly short, "side-bar" type write-ups. But, they again offer some great insight into Annabeth's persona. :) August 2001 is here; February 1996 is here. || "I thought about writing. I studied poetry all through college, and I'd love to publish my poetry, but I'm shy about showing it. Maybe someday." (Annabeth, People Magazine, February, 1996) || Julie found a couple of behind-the-scenes pics of Annabeth from SLC Punk! and Race to Space. Pics are courtesy of: Giffoni Film Festival; matthewlillard.com. Thanks, Julie! :) || Admin note: I've recently come across a couple of sites whereby some have remotely linked (off-site linked) back to pics found here at this site for use as avatars at message boards, etc. While I don't mind the use of the pictures, please download the pic to your own site (especially for use as an avatar). Also, if it is possible, a credit or credit link back to allthingsannabeth.com would be appreciated (avatar and/or collage work credits not necessary). Thanks much! :) || Have a good day! :)

February 26, 2003 Article and pictures update ... I've transcribed the March 2002 Fitness Magazine article on Annabeth. Great inspiration for anyone who may be thinking about starting up a new health/exercise regiment. Read the article here. || "I don't think women should succumb to the ideal of having a perfect body - it makes you crazy." (Annabeth, Fitness Magazine, March 2002) || I've also got a couple of new (actually, old) pics of Annabeth from: (L to R): 2002 Elton John/InStyle Academy Awards Party (which benefits the Elton John AIDS Foundation); Cool Comedy - Hot Cuisine/Scleroderma Research Foundation Benefit (November 2002). || Enjoy! :)

February 25, 2003 -- Second Update Thank You, Annabeth (TYA) update ... Deslea has advised that the signed merchandise for the long-awaited TYA auction has finally arrived, and the auction is tentatively planned for March/April. Also, the TYA guest book has been fixed, so those of you who may not have gotten the chance to sign it can now do so. Head over to TYA for all the details. (And a big, big thank you to the TYA committee for all of their hard work in putting this together.) :) || || :)

February 25, 2003 Site update, possible VCR alert and additional b-day book info ... I've rearranged the Miscellaneous section of the Photo Gallery to be more spread out; the one page was getting to be a bit full. LOL! It is now divided up into three sections: Main, Black and White and Out n' About (to better archive pictures from premieres, events, etc.). || "I'm really, really grateful for what I began to learn [at Duke University]. College was a time where I learned to ask questions. It's like all these little seeds were planted in college, and I've been able to water some of them." (Annabeth, The Chronicle - The Independent Daily at Duke University, November 1999) || According to TVGuide.com, VH-1 is scheduled to re-air The Way She Moves this Sunday, March 2 at 4 p.m. EST for U.S. viewers. But, VH-1 has been known to cancel/switch showings of their movies at the last moment, so you may want to keep checking throughout the week just to be sure. :) || I've been asked if artwork/collages are O.K. as greetings for the birthday book, and they certainly are. Just keep in mind I will need to print it out here on my end, so you'll want to keep the colours a bit classic/simple so it will look good on paper (as opposed to electronic form). Also, if you do artwork, make sure it is sized large enough to be printed out. Somewhere in the 400 x 500 pixel range (roughly 5 x 7 inches) is a good size. Or, you can always cut/paste it into an MS Word document and send it to me that way. It is up to you. If you send the artwork by itself, file formats need to be: IBM/PC .jpg (.jpeg), or .tif (.tiff), or .pdf (.pdf) To participate: 1) Please forward your greeting via e-mail to: allthingsannabeth@yahoo.com. 2) In the subject line, please write: "Birthday Greetings for Annabeth." 3) Deadline for submissions: March 5th || Have a great day! :)

February 24, 2003 Happy new week everyone ... I was able to get a back issue of the Summer 1996 Smoke Magazine that features a small write up on Annabeth. You can read the article here; the picture is here. (**Note: I've left the pic in a larger format, so it may take an extra bit to download.) || "I think, as a general rule, most female actors always long for a little more complexity. That's something I always look for in the scripts I read." (Annabeth, Smoke Magazine, Summer 1996) || We're in the final week or so to send in b-day greetings. I've received some great ones thus far, and would love to have more. So keep sending them in ... :) To participate: 1) Please forward your greeting via e-mail to: allthingsannabeth@yahoo.com. 2) In the subject line, please write: "Birthday Greetings for Annabeth." 3) Deadline for submissions: March 5th || Have a great day! :)

February 22, 2003 New Annabeth-related Fanlisting ... The wonderful Sabrina has created an awesome new Fanlisting for: The Way She Moves. This is great news as I know there are a lot of TWSM fans out there. Thanks so much, Sabrina! :) || "I was halfway down the aisle when I realized there was some place else I wanted to be." - Amie Tyson (Annabeth), The Way She Moves. || I also thought I'd try out adding a section for Annabeth-related Fanlistings in the "Links/Credits" part of this site. The criteria if you would like me to link to your Fanlisting: 1) It is specifically dedicated to one of Annabeth's characters; or 2) It is specifically dedicated to one of Annabeth's Movies/Shows.  So if you have a Fanlisting that is Annabeth-centric, let me know! (Or, if you know of some additional Annabeth-centric Fanlistings, let me know, too -- as I'm a bit new to the Fanlistings world myself. LOL!) || Enjoy the weekend! :)

February 21, 2003 Small site update ... I changed the "Contact" button over on the navigation bar to say "Contact/Join ATA." You might have to hit "Refresh" on your system to see the change. (I've also revised that section so that you can join the mailing list/group from there as well). || "For some reason, I've been hired to do dances. Oh! I don't mean that ... !" (Annabeth, The Late, Late Show With Craig Kilborn, December 2001) || Everyone have a great Friday and a great weekend! :)

February 20, 2003 I've formed a Yahoo! Mailing List/Group for this site. :) I'm hopeful that some of you will want to join for great discussion of Annabeth! :) Note that you can just subscribe to the e-mail list, you do not necessarily have to subscribe to the Y!
