Marina says,"Hi everybody! I just logged on!"
Jim says,"Hi Marina"
Claire_Voyance says,"Hi Marina!"
Kathy says,"Hey"
Haldir'sPlaymate says,"*waving*"
D. says,"hello *sweet smile*
D. says,"How are you doing?"
Marina says,"nice to see some new people here. hope you all had a good thanksgiving wherever you are in the world"
Jim says,"It was good"
Haldir'sPlaymate says,"new faces??? *g* Not really"
Marina says,"you guys are messing with me again”
D. says,"always, you know that by now ;)"
Marina says,"was anybody here in Montreal a few weeks ago?"
Claire_Voyance says,"Marz, a girl from the public part of the forum wants to know if you enjoyed the Montreal convention?"
Marina says,"I had a great time in Montreal. I was hanging out with Ethan Phillips and Robert O'Reilly and we had a really good time "
Kathy says,"Does hanging out with Ethan Phillips make you feel taller?"
D. says,"hanging out with Ethan makes everyone look taller *g*"
Haldir'sPlaymate says,"Ethan Philipps isn't that short"
Marina says,"There aren't many things that make me feel taller so I suppose hanging out with Ethan does. Although that was balanced by having lunch with Terry Farrell and feeling like a munchkin"
D. says,"So Marina, how are you doing up there? :)
Marina says,"Spectres may be having a world premiere at the Sci Fi movie festival in London in February"
Kathy says,"Most excellent"
Mushky says,"Hello, Marina, this is the first time i get to chat with you, and it is a pleasure. But I'm a bit confused here because of the chatroom!"
Marina says,"D, everythings good with me. Not enough work but hopefully thats going to change in the new year. I haven't been up to Arrowhead since the fires as I've had no one to feed the cats, but I'm hoping to get up there soon."
D. says,"which reminds me...Marina, is there are reason you're trying your hand at producing? Or are you just trying to annoy Michael Dorn? *g*"
Marina says,"Mushky, I'm sure everyone will be eager to explain how it all works. "
Kathy says,"So did the cabin and restaurant make it?"
Marina says,"There comes a point where when you want to get certain projects made the only way to drum up enthusiasm is to actually produce them yourself"
Doree says,"Marina, I caught your narration of the Heather Mills McCartney E! True Hollywood Stories last night. You were great. I could listen to your voice for hours on end. Did you do the narration all in one setting, or was it over several?"
Marina says,"both the cabin and the restaurant made it, although; it took two firefights to save our street. As luck would have it we have a fire hydrant in our driveway"
D. says,"I saw the Spectres trailer, it looked very good *g* I'm curios, how did you get along with the actress that plays your daughter? (all the details, if you please *g*)"
Marina says,"I did the narration in three hours however I felt that was a long time. Theyre very specific about how they want things said. It took 15 minutes to say the E true hollywood story correctly"
Mushky says,"Marina, I have read thart you are on the cover of Women's World magazine. since not everyone here is from the U.S, is it possible to make a few issues available on the website's store?"
Kathy says,"Marina, did WW come to you because they were doing Greek diet or what?"
Marina says,"the actress who plays my daughter is called Lauren Bickell and although she's playing a 16 year old, she is actually quite a bit older so it wasnt as if I was working with a child. The director told us individually not to fraternize while we were filming because we were supposed to have a strange relationship. Well that lasted a few days but its really hard to maintain a pregnant doginess 24/7"
D. says,"Oh Marina, I have a question for you from Karen. She's curios to know who, according to you, of the members you met at FedCon speak English with the least obvious accent (if you remember ;))"
Marina says,"I'll try and get some extra copies and if I can I'll put them in the website store"
Marina says,"WW came to me for a diet and I came up with a Greek diet which they then adapted"
le chat
Marina says,"I'm impressed with how well all of you speak English"
D. says,"we don't have much choice, since you don't speak German or Dutch ;) *g*"
Kathy says,"I guess same question with E!, did you have to audition or did they come to you?"
Marina says,"D, who apart from the Dutch and a few S Africans speak Dutch?"
Emma says,"Marina what are you going to do in/for Christmas?"
Marina says,"I auditioned for E, although as it turned out they recognized my voice and that was why I got the job. However, it meant they didn't have to pay me very much "
Marina says,"Emma, I have a friend coming over from England and I'm debating whether to have a Christmas party or not"
Emma says,"Marina, you should have the party ;-) they are always fun."
Doree says,"Marina, do you have your house all decorated for the holidays? Do you have any of those neighbors that take most of the electricity to light up their homestead?
Mushky says,"Marina, what is your new year's resolution?"
Marina says,"the problem with having a party is that I end up cooking for 2 weeks before hand because people expect me to serve good Greek food "
Emma says,"Marina, darling... c'est la vie! ;) but you can always go with "i am american now" *g*"
Marina says,"This year I'm going to really decorate the house. I have a friend who is a flower arranger and I'm going to hire her "
Marina says,"My new years resolution is to book another series and Doree I don't have any neighbors with flying Santa's on their roofs"
Claire_Voyance says,"*pfew...Minnie Driver got taste*"
Marina says,"Kathy that is a really good idea"
Marina says,"actually I haven't seen Minnie Driver for ages. I think she's in England doing a play"
D. says,"Btw, hows Through the fire? You indicated there might be some positive news last time. I'd really love to see it on screen" (Mon 1:19pm)
Mushky says,"Marina, are you planing any conventions in/Near England??"
Marina says,"I think I'm doing a signing convention in February in London"
D. says,"February too? I know you're scheduled for the London Expo in May..."
Haldir'sPlaymate says,"How about London Expo?"
Marina says,"No news on Through The Fire"
Claire_Voyance says,"How do you get along with Minnie Driver btw.?"
Marina says,"I need to check about the London expo"
Marina says,"Minnie and I just say hello. She really likes my husband though"
D. says,"Did you find a new agent yet? And, if you have, do you get along? ;)"
D. says,"oh my, better put on a leash *evil smile*"
Doree says,"Marina, instead of having a Christmas party, why don't you take your friend and go caroling with your fellow TNG people. "
Marina says,"I actually got a new manager and as of now we get along"
Marina says,"oh yeah I can just see us going door to door and giving people heart attacks when they open the door to the TNG crew. Problem is hardly any of us are in LA right now "
D. says,"Now, for the nasty details...Marina, do you ever glow green at night? *most sweetest, innocent smile*"
Marina says,"OK D, I don't get that. Why would I glow green?"
Mushky says,"Now, D, don't piss of Marina!
Marina says,"I was talking to a scientist recently who was actually working on beaming. Of course objects and not people but he did explain to me how theoretically it could be done. I of course did not understand a word having stopped my scientific studies at prisms "
Marina says,"No, I'm not pissed off"
Rhyan says,"Marina, do you have any souvenirs of the TNG set?"
D. says,"Marina, who's typing for you?"
Mushky says,"Skilaki types for her!"
Marina says,"yeah, I have some communicators and tricorders and of course my costumes although officially they are just on loan"
Marina says,"Mushky, you've guessed my secret. Skilaki earns his treats by doing the typing for my chats"
Doree says,"Marina, I know you're always asked which episode is your favorite, but how about telling us which episode(s) you feel you did your best work in or that you feel the proudest about?"
Marina says,"Its so long ago I really can't remember alot of the episodes"
Rhyan says,"Does your husband enjoy being married to a celebrity or prefer to ignore that part of your life? I don't think I could handle it."
Haldir'sPlaymate says,"Marina what are you wearing right now?"
Marina says,"My husband quite likes being married to a celebrity some of the time, but he doesn't like the phoniness that can exist in this world."
Marina says,"I'm wearing my workout gear"
Fred27 says,"Good for you, Marina! What sport are you doing now? Plates?"
Marina says,"going back to the WW picture, I will post it and see if you agree with me...do I look deranged or what? "
Doree says,"What does your workout consist of?"
Asta_Lawista says,"100 m plates?"
Mushky says,"Marina, do you play tennis too?"
Marina says,"I do Pilates and weight training and I take CC for hikes whenever I can"
Rhyan says,"You take CC for hikes or does CC take you for hikes?"
Marina says,"I love tennis but like most of the sports I enjoy, I'm better at watching them than playing them. I am the worlds best spectator "
Marina says,"are you watching us? CC does take me for hikes"
Mushky says,"Marina, any idea why all the celebs are so into tennis??"
Fred27 says,"Wait a minute, I thougth that dog belonged to Micheal! "
Marina says,"I suppose its because they have tennis courts and its a sport you don't need a team for so you can grab a set whenever you can grab a partner"
Marina says,"Yes, the dog does belong to Michael, but I take her for the longest walks "
Doree says,"You mentioned in an earlier chat that you were going to try golf? Have you done so? I think you're selling your athletic ability short."
Marina says,"I'm really bad at golf. I got these great clubs but they really don't work"
Mushky says,"Marina do you have/ had a personal trainer?"
Doree says,"Okay, how about bowling?"
Marina says,"yes, I have a personal trainer and its not because its because I'm this big star, but if I didn't need to meet her at the gym I would never go”
Marina says,"I love bowling, although I haven't done it very much. There were very few bowling lanes in England. Still a new ritzy place has opened up near me so I think we'll be going more. Especially as Michael is such a great bowler "
Marina says,"for any arsenal fans out there be ready for the ridicule YOU COULDNT EVEN BEAT FULHAM AT HOME?!!!"
Fred27 says,"I beg to differ! I caddied for the president of a major airlines two months ago: he pledged to take 10 of our students as interns!"
Marina says,"Fred, you're right golf is about more than hitting a ball"
D. says,"so Marina, a question from Moonsahde and me...would you please carry our waterbottles?"
Mushky says,"Marina, how are your lovely pets? "
Marina says,"D, where would you like me to carry them to? LOL"
D. says,"Anywhere, everywhere :D so, it that a yes? (all shall be explained)"
Marina says,"My animals are generally great. All except for Knack who has kidney disease but then he is almost 17"
Fred27 says,"Well, if you come back to Bonn, we can go to the Siebengebirge for a hike."
Marina says,"I'm sure I'll be in Bonn if not next year the year after"
D. says,"and you get to walk next to David Duchnovy or Patrick Stewart in red speedos, through London ;;) isn't that a bonus?
Doree says,"Has Creation contacted you about doing the Las Vegas con in Aug.?"
Marina says,"Patrick in red speedo's? my eyes are crossing at the thought"
Marina says,"No, creation hasn't contacted me"
Mushky says,"Marina, any idea why Patrick decided to get a divorce?"
Fred27 says,"Speaking of Speedos: Marina, bikini or one piece?"
D. says,"Speaking of drugs (please don't get this the wrong way) erm...can we talk bra's? Cos well, there are some nasty rumors flying about"
Marina says,"Mushky I do, but I'm not at liberty to say. I will only say don't believe everything you read in the press"
Marina says,"D, what are the nasty rumours?"
D. says,"Erm...implants? And don't blame me this time!"
Rhyan says,"This is the strangest chat I have ever read."
Marina says,"D, as I said, don't believe everything you read "
D. says,"I know, that;s not entirely what I mean, cos I don't believe it"
Mushky says,"Marina, it is not what people read, it is what they see"
D. says,"more like *still digging her hole, as if on auto pilot* Erm...padding?"
Marina says,"Rhyan, this is kind of normal for us"
Marina says,"well girls, when you get to my age you will also do whatever it takes to defy gravity"
D. says,"hey...normal, adnormal...as long as we're having fun, right *paying with her life*"
Marina says,"D, you got that right girl"
Fred27 says,"Marina, with that comment, I only like to say: I understand. Have a baby and that fall to one's knees!"
Marina says,"Fred, maybe thats why I didn't have children"
Rhyan says,"I guess then those five flights of stairs can be painful, huh?"
D. says,"oh, seeing how I'm busy getting my license...Marina, how often did you have to take your driving exam?”
Marina says,"Rhyan, you're a good addition to this chat"
Rhyan says,"Thanks Marina. I know some stars like to do the road course racing thing - ever tried it?"
Marina says,"OK, I took my driving test in England where its very hard not like here in America. I took the test three times. My mother however, took it 7 and still only passed on an automatic, so that was all she could drive"
Marina says,"I'd like to do the racing thing, but when I went on a simulator I never got my car off the grass so I don't know how good I would be"
Rhyan says,"Are you licensed for motorcyclees or just as a passenger?"
Fred27 says,"I went to Micheal Schumacher's go cart track. Does that count as racing?"
Mushky says,"Marina, what are your current favorite series on TV?"
Marina says,"No, I'm just the passenger. We have a Harley and its too heavy for me"
Marina says,"I think go carting is pretty fast"
Marina says,"Its a roadster, but its all tricked out. "
Marina says,"My favorite TV series are Everybody loves Raymond, West Wing, and all the Law & Order shows"
Doree says,"Which one of your favorite series would you like to guest on if asked?"
D. says,"oh, is Michael coming with you to London next time, now that he;s admitted to loving the city? :)"
Marina says,"I'd love to go on Raymond because its a comedy and I have a hard time convincing people that I can be funny"
Marina says,"Michael is coming with me to the Olympics next year so I think that will be his trip to Europe"
Fred27 says,"Marina, it sounds like you have a hard time getting your husband into an airplane with you."
Mushky says,"Marina, did you have fun doing the "Threat Matrix" episode? How did you get along with the cast?"
Marina says,"He's not afraid of flying. He just has a hard time getting the time off work"
Marina says,"Threat Matrix was a lot of fun and the cast and crew were great"
Mushky says,"Marina, do you know when your 2 recent movies will be released or shawn on TV?"
Marina says,"no, I don't know when they will be released but of course as soon as I do I will let you all know"
D. says,"ohhh....did you find Michael Dorn a wife yet?"
Marina says,"I thought I had found the perfect Mrs. Dorn, but apparently she wasn't pretty enough for him LOL!"
Mushky says,"Marina, what kind of a woman Dorn is looking for?"
Marina says,"the problem with Michael is that he's set in his ways and a little immovable, however; with another birthday coming up he does get a little worried"
Haldir'sPlaymate says,"Oh, how was the talk with E-Star anyway?"
Marina says,"I think the talk with E-Star was very constructive they were very receptive to your ideas "
Haldir'sPlaymate says,"Will we get a moderator any time soon???"
Haldir'sPlaymate says,"And we need a moderator... desperately"
Marina says,"I'm discussing with E-Star to actually moderate some topics myself"
Claire_Voyance says,"but you have to be online on a daily basis"
D. says,"but...there are soe thing, you really don't want to see. Don't get me wrong, I think it'd be great...just a little warning?
Mushky says,"That's good, Marina but you'll have to have a LOT of Patience"
Marina says,"I think I would be moderating on a limited scale and with very specific topics"
Doree says,"Okay, totally changing the subject... Marina, which of the recent movies have you seen and what is your opinion?"
D. says,"oh...did you see Kill Bill???"
Marina says,"I saw the Human Stain recently, which I enjoyed but I had just read the book and of course the movie didn't come up to scratch"
Marina says,"No, I didn't see Kill Bill. I'm not really into violence"
Marina says,"Skilaki is about to attack the gardener so I have to go. See you all next time. Peace"
Marina says,"Good-Bye! I just logged off!"
