June 29, 2004 Life on Liberty Street Press Kit Q&A ... :) STeF very kindly passed along a portion of the Life on Liberty Street Press Kit, which contained an interview/Q&A with Annabeth. Read it here (originally courtesy of The Hallmark Channel; great thanks to STeF for sending it along!) || "I'm just looking for good material that has stories that are moving and characters that are complicated, like real life." (Annabeth, Life on Liberty Street Press Kit Q&A, May 2004) || Have a great day!

June 28, 2004 June Q&As ... :) Annabeth has sent along answers to the questions that were submitted for the month of June. You'll notice this batch is X-Files/Monica Reyes specific. With the recent release of Season 9 on DVD, and the subsequent press accompanying it, as well as the ongoing discussions concerning a possible second film, she took the opportunity to express her thoughts here at the site. Enjoy! :) ---------- Name: Billie Question: With all the talk about a second X-Files movie, would you be interested in playing Monica Reyes again? What would you hope to happen if you did? Annabeth's Answer: I loved playing Monica Reyes for the brief time that I did, and of course I would love to meet up with her again - alas, I don’t think it’s in the cards ... As far as I know, the Doggett/Reyes arc is not going to be included in the film. As I've said elsewhere, I understand the success of the franchise has at its core Mulder and Scully. It's a duo that is mythic now ... I think the film will be a welcome return of the both of them ... ----- Name: Chris Question: When playing Agent Reyes on The X-Files, did you base the character off anyone? Annabeth's Answer: In one of my first conversations with Chris Carter, when discussing his vision of Monica Reyes, he mentioned an ex-CNN news anchor named Lynn Russell. To him she was an example of a gutsy, independent woman who was simultaneously tough and alluring. And a bit of a rebel. I think it was really those qualities that guided me in my imagining of Monica - more than a specific person to model her after ... I'm not so sure I succeeded in finding all or any of those qualities - I fumble around in my own life practicing them, wondering how in the hell to be even one at a time. We can all dream, right?! || Have a great day! :)

June 22, 2004 A new interview ... :) BBC Online Cult News did a recent interview with Annabeth to coincide with the release of Season 9 of The X-Files on DVD in the UK. I've transcribed the article here. (Thanks very much to Amanda for passing along the article.) || "[Gillian Anderson] was such an old hand maneuvering through the rigorous hours ... I learned a lot by watching her ...." (Annabeth, BBC Online Cult News, June 15, 2004) || Have a great day! :)

June 21, 2004 A Q&A admin note ... :) I've received some inquiries as to the status of "Questions for Annabeth" (as it has been a couple of months since the last set of Q&As were posted). This feature is still very much a part of this site, and although every effort is made to post the Q&As on a monthly basis, it does ultimately depend on Annabeth's schedule. As many of you know (and have read), she enjoys and takes great care in answering the questions submitted, so please do continue to send them along. :) I've submitted a set to her for June, so I shall hopefully have those to post by the end of the month. Thanks again to everyone for their thoughts! || Have a great day! :)

June 15, 2004 Annabeth's CSI: Miami ep premieres in UK ... :) The "Not Landing" episode of CSI: Miami (in which Annabeth guest starred) will premiere in the UK this coming Saturday (June 19th) on Five at 9 p.m. Be sure to set your VCRs! :) (Thanks very much to Richard for kindly sending along the heads-up.) || Have a great day! :)

June 10, 2004 InStyle article ... :) As mentioned a few months back, the annual special Weddings issue of InStyle Magazine was released this week, and it featured a write-up on Annabeth and Wade's wedding from last fall. I'd highly recommend purchasing the magazine as it's an excellent article, with some very original and creative ideas for anyone who might be planning a wedding of their own. :) I've transcribed the article here; pics are below. (Pictures and article are courtesy of InStyle.) || "We hoped the day would be casual but convey a sense of flair." (Annabeth, InStyle Magazine, June 2004) || Have a great day! :)

June 7, 2004 Wyatt Earp clips ... :) In timing with the release of Wyatt Earp on Region 1 DVD, Grilka has very kindly done up a couple of clips: Dinner and Being With You. (Note that you will need WinZip to open; Windows Media Player to view.) Thanks as always to Grilka! :) || "I don't want to be the reason that you're not happy, Wyatt." - Urilla (Annabeth), Wyatt Earp || Have a great day! :)

June 1, 2004 Wyatt Earp on DVD, and admin note ... :) AN75 passed along a note that Wyatt Earp has been released on Region 1 DVD as a 2-disc Special Edition. If you're interested in purchasing the DVD, feel free to follow this link (or visit the DVD store on this site) to have your purchase contribute to the ongoing efforts of Buy for Bethie (BFB). (Thanks for the info, AN75!) (Just a note for those who may not know, Annabeth's role in Wyatt Earp is on the shorter side - limited to the first hour. But, I know some of you would like to collect all of her films on DVD, so here's another to add to the collection. You might also be a history buff as well. :) ) || Site admin: I've archived most of the May updates, so if you missed any, be sure to check the archive. || Have a great day! :)
