Marina says, "Hi everybody! I just logged on!"
Jim says,"Hi Marina"
izzy says,"hi"
korg says,"hi Marina :-)"
Gloria says,"Hi Marina!"
Mäusekin says,"hello!"
Kat says,"hey"
Marina says,"I just want to apologise for being gone so long-but I was shooting a movie and we wrapped on sunday"
Moonshade says,"Hello"
Jim says, “That’s cool"
Doree__ says,"Tell us more about the movie"
D says,"don't apologize and what are the details *grin*"
Kat says,"which movie?"
Gloria says,"Marina, are you now going to start shooting your other movie?"
Marina says,"The movie is called Spectres, and I play the mother of a sixteen year old who tries to commit suicide and just before she was resuscitated her body is taken over by another being"
izzy says,"Mother of a 16 year old?!?!?! scarry."
Kat says,"ah, that one"
D says,"how did the second surgery go? Able to breath yet? *g*"
korg says,"That sounsds like something Troi would go thru"
Marina says,"I start shooting another movie on the 14th of July in Tulsa, OK"
Marina says,"Haven't had the second surgery yet-scheduled for August"
izzy says,"Tulsa? Ooo that'll be a hot one"
Marina says,"I think the curly hair will be revived because of the humidity"
Doree__ says,"I know you're profession is becoming someone else, but if you really could become someone else, who would it be, why and for how long would like to be them?"
Marina says,"I would like to be someone who is really good at a sport"
D says,"Marina, are you typing yourself?"
Marina says,"I should also add that Michael Dorn is in my next movie which is called "Walk on Water" and again I play the mother of a teenage son...its getting a little scary"
Kat says,"michael is not the teenage son I hope..."
Emma says,"Marina, then when are you planing to have your vacations? ;-) - not july, not august ... that doesn't sound really good *grin*"
Marina says,"Of course I'm not typing myself"
Marina says,"Michael and I went to Half Moon Bay for a few days before I started on "Spectres", I think that is going to be my vacation this year"
D says,"a hwell...at least LA has pretty good wheather right? :)"
Doree__ says,"Marina, if money and time were no object, where would like to vacation?"
D says,"besides, it's difficult to take all the pets along on vacation"
Marina says,"Its pretty hot in LA right now"
Marina says,"Fortunately, Michaels' dad lives with us and he takes care of the animals when we go away"
Jim says,"It's always good to have relatives close by to take care of pets."
Marina says,"I'd like to go back to Australia because I have some really good friends there, and maybe stop in Tahiti on the way"
mhill51109 says,"So Marina, how is the filming on your movies coming or did someone already ask that?"
D says,"btw, a q; if it's too personal too answer I understand, but aside from the last TNG shooting day, this chat and FedCon, what was the worst day of your life?"
Doree__ says,"Those are very good choices. I would really like to see New Zealand, someday."
Marina says,"The worst day of my life was when my Dad died"
D says,"thanks for answering"
mhill51109 says,"Marina, that goes for me too! I still remember when my father passed. It was on the day that ST IX came out"
Marina says,"I'm sorry MHill that was very recent"
Gloria says,"Marina, I was supposed to be at the fed con, but couldn't make it (not my fault), however I did get you something, is there a reliable address to send it, other than paramount?"
Marina says,"You can send it to me c/o Emediastar @ 5557 E. Santa Ana Cyn Rd. Ste.103-178 , Anaheim Hills, CA 92807"
D says,"Marina, did your backache get anybetter? *hpes so*"
Marina says,"I think there are a lot of us here today which is why its a little slow"
Marina says,"Actually, D Destiny hows your back?"
D says,"Maybe I oughta clear this up, before you keep reminding yourself ;) My back won't get better for several years, so I grin and bare it *g* In the meanwhile, I am curios about how yours is doing :)"
mhill51109 says,"So Marina, since there are so many of us, would you stay longer?"
D says,"and aplogize for my behavior at FedCon...or offer and apology, should you want it ;)"
Marina says,"You guys! I'll stay a little longer"
Marina says, “That’snot necessary, I had a great time at FedCon”
D says,"that's good to know :) We had too (most of the time anyway ;))"
mhill51109 says,"Tell us about filming your movies, Marina"
Doree__ says,"Marina, I don't know about you, but I seem to attract the "unusual " passenger, who usually sits by my on the plane. With all of your traveling, what's been the most "unusual" passenger to sit beside you?"
Marina says,"A normal day of filming starts with me getting up at 5. Or earlier to be ready to start shooting at 7. In "Spectres" I was in almost every scene so the days were long. Some of it was very emotional so I'm still kind of getting over it."
D says,"I can imagine" D says,"must be draining, having those really emotional rolls" jalaragirl says,"is this a made for TV or theatre movie?" korg says,"Sounds like you were deep into the role" Marina says,"Hi Doree, I dont know what it is about me, but people do want to tell me their life history. I've tried hiding behind a book, putting on headphones and watching the screen, even being rude. Nothing seems to work. So now I ask if I can sit on my own "
Gloria says,"Marina, is there any progress with Emediastar about improving the site?"
Moonshade says,"The LIST!!! What about the list!"
jalaragirl says,"MArina, I've got a seat behind home plate at Wrigley with your name all over it."
mhill51109 says,"Sounds like you had a great day at work with lots of challenges. Can you tell us anything about the movie? Or do you have a Marina clause?"
jalaragirl says,"Coming to chicago?"
Marina says,"Both movies are independent features which means they will hopefully make it to the movie theatres. If not, they might end up on cable "
Marina says,"Sorry, hate baseball"
D says,"Marina, had any luck in finding the Cddrive? *is curios*"
D says,"there's a sport you actually hate?! WOW"
Marina says,"I discussed improving the site today and we will announce the changes shortly" Jim says,"Spectres, more like a horror or suspense picture"
mhill51109 says,"Cable is Cool! Just as long as you get paid! ;-)"
Marina says,"No, I don't have a Marina clause, but I've told you about all I want you to know " D says,"there's nothing like a little anticipation”
korg says,"LOoking forward to it Marina"
Marina says,"Independent features tend not to pay a lot. Michael and I have back end deals so if the movie does eventually make some money we will get something"
Jim says,"Marina, what movies this summer do you see doing well?" chat
D says,"oh.before I forget, Pinetree couldn't make it and she asked me to say 'hi' "
Doree__ says,"Marina, I know you can sing. Do you play an instrument(s) as well?"
Marina says,"I dont know which movies will do well this summer..looks like none of them so far"
Moonshade says,"Talking of questions never asked: What's your shoesize?"
Marina says,"When I was very young, I played the violin and when I was sixteen I taught myself to play the guitar. Now I have nails instead"
D says,"*remembers a q* again, out of curiosity, what's the downside of haveing your own website? *g*"
Kat says,"violin is beautiful..."
Marina says,"I have very big hands and feet. I take a size 38.5 so I should really be about 5"10"
thisroomhatesme says,"i always thought you had piano player fingers."
Marina says,"Well as you all know, I'm technologically challenged so I do get a little daunted with having to come on"
Emma says,"are you talking on european shoesize? 'cus thats not really that big *ggg*"
D says,"I guess that's the advantage of high heels; they make you look taller and your feet look smaller"
Doree__ says,"I am so envious of people who can play the violin. It is such a beautiful instrument. I'm a saxaphone, piano, person myself."
korg says,"I would have never guesssed, Marina"
Moonshade says,"Europeans have big feet, too :"
D says,"unless you have these new fashion shoes with the very pointed noses *yuck*"
Marina says,"It is european and its big because my legs are so skinny"
Marina says,"Everyone who's seen me knows I only ever wear high heels"
korg says,"Marina will you ever come to Houston for a vacation? There are alot of great things here"
Marina says,"I'd like to have played the piano, but my brother got the piano lessons because he's a boy”
Emma says,"Marina, the minimum heel you wear is? and the maximum?;-)" (Tue 5:31pm)
Marina says,"I have a problem with Houston..the humidity..and the air-conditioning that is at freezing constantly "
mhill51109 says,"Say what? I thought boys were always sent off to play the tuba or drums! Not the piano!"
Marina says,"Minimum heel 2.5 inches, maximum 5"
Marina says,"No, my brother was the favorite "
mhill51109 says,"go to Housten in the winter Marina!"
korg says,"Yeah, yea` come in Winter Marina!"
mhill51109 says,"Auch, that is okay Marina! You are more famous! That more than makes up for not being the favorite!"
Gloria says,"What a lovely chatroom, don't you agree, guys?"
Emma says,"Gloria, suuuuuuuuuure ;-)"
Kat says,"absolutely"
Marina says,"Just so you know, I got thrown out of my own chatroom"
D says,"well...we're used to it ;) It's good to know the chatroom levels you to our level *grins*"
mhill51109 says,"Marina have you been golfing yet?"
Marina says,"I keep promising to golf, but I never get around to it"
Emma says,"Marina, which language you would like to speak/learn and hadn't? =)"
Marina says,"I used to be fluent in French, but I've forgotten a lot of it, I also would like to speak Italian and German"
D says,"Marina, I'm curios, do all the gifts you get at conventions...how on earth to you get them back home?"
Marina says,"I think you all know that I love tennis, but now that Pete has stopped playing I find it hard to get as passionate about it. Mind you that Roger Federer looks pretty good, just not as cute"
Marina says,"I usually get the convention people to pack up my gifts and send them on to me unless there are only one or two and then I bring them home myself"
mhill51109 says,"So let me get this straight Marina, a cute guy in sport makes it worth watching. Sex does sell!"
Marina says,"Well Pete kind of looks like my brother and my brother used to play tennis"
korg says,"Marina, do you like the newest pics of the universe from Hubble"
Marina says,"Korg, I hate to say this but I haven't seen them"
D says,"Marina, when you're not staying in the hotel the convention is held in (for whatever reason) do you get to pic a hotel yourself, or do they just (pardon the expression) dump you somewhere?"
Gloria says,"Marina, did you ever get to visit sites on the net dedicated for you, if so, what did you think of them?"
Marina says,"Of course it didn't hurt my passion for Pete that he was the greatest player the game has ever known"
Marina says,"I didn't even know there were other sites"
Gloria says,"There are a few really good sites, I recommand you visit some, Marina :)" hat
Marina says,"As you all know, I never stay in the convention hotel. I usually let them pick the hotel I stay in, and they are generally pretty good at putting me somewhere nice"
D says,"she thinks fanficiton are the published novels...so yo could try *g*"
mhill51109 says,"Marina, next time you visit us, we must show you all the sites that are dedicated to you. You will be astonished!"
Marina says,"So now I'm interested in fan-fiction. What is it?"
Gloria says,"Marina, do you have any upcoming conventions in Europe?"
D says,"basically, it's stories fans right"
mhill51109 says,"Fan fiction are all the wonderfully stories written about the Trek universe"
Marina says,"No conventions in Europe at this point, but maybe some next year"
Doree__ says,"Marina, I have noticed that your "British-ness" changes in intensity, from less to more, when you are speaking at conventions in the states and when you are giving interviews in England. Is that a conscious decision?"
Marina says,"I'm going to stick to this site I think..." )
Marina says,"Doree, after a few hours in England I become totally British again"
mhill51109 says,"How did you feel when you became an American citizen?"
mhill51109 says,"I ask because I am thinking about becoming an German citizen because of my work"
Marina says,"Becoming American was actually quite an emotional experience. I was waving my little flag like a crazy person and got the Iranian couple behind me to take my picture"
Marina says,"The first thing I did was register to vote"
jalaragirl says,"how did you spend the 4th"
Marina says,"Rick Berman had a party at his house and Brent, Levar, and I were there "
Marina says,"The reason I became a citizen was to vote"
Gloria says,"Marina, How are your hubby and pets doing?"
Doree__ says,"Marina, I think you should put out a book called "How To Speak British", you know, like the books on "How To Speak Southern"? I think that would be a kick. And speaking of books, I think you should put together a cook of your favorite recipes. You could call it "Marina's Morsels" or "My Big Fat Greek Cookbook". Hey, I'd buy it, and I don't cook that much! :-)"
Marina says,"Everyone is well, thank you. Michael is still throwing himself off mountain tops"
Marina says,"My husband never takes me out to dinner because he says I cook better than anywhere we would go. So maybe I should put out a cook book"
Marina says,"LeVar is concerned because Reading Rainbow has lost its funding and he would like to keep it on the air"
RikerBabe says,"my husband wanted me to ask you if you know how we can help levar keep it going"
D says,"yes, I read some articles. Never seen the series though"
Marina says,"Moonshade, would you read my mind to learn my fabulous recipes? "
Moonshade says,"Hä? What question is that? No..."
Marina says,"Maybe LeVar has a website "
Marina says,"D, Its a show for children to get them interested in reading. Every child seems to know Reading Rainbow "
jalaragirl says,"Marina...after these two movies, any plans?"
Moonshade says,"I am malevolent! I have a reputation here!!!!"
Marina says,"D, I should have put LOL. I keep forgetting how seriously you all take me"
RikerBabe says,"you were on RR once, weren't you Marina?"
Marina says,"Keep your fingers crossed...possibly another movie in the fall "
mhill51109 says,"I will light a candle for you at the Cologne Cathedral, Marina!"
Marina says,"No, I was never on RR "
Marina says,"MHill, thats very nice of you"
mhill51109 says,"Marina, do you still have to audition?"
Marina says,"In a month or so"
Marina says,"I don't have to audition for independent movies, because my name means something"
Doree__ says,"You know, filming in Tulsa may not have you stuck in mountains, but you might want to consider packing your "decorative" coffee can just incase. "
Marina says,"Doree we are filming at a lake...probably won't need the coffee can"
D says,"hmm...did my Elephant glass survived the trip btw? Or not...I'd just like to know, cos my mom's asking where it went..."
mhill51109 says,"when was your last audition?"
Emma says,"one friend told me to expect the worst that way you would always get a better option and if not you wouldn't be on bad mood ;-)"
er option and if not you wouldn't be on bad mood ;-)"
Doree says,"So true, so true."
Marina says,"Elephant glass is here"
Marina says,"my last audition was a week ago"
Gloria says,"Marina, do you remember that soccerball clock? Whatever happened to it? ;)"
mhill51109 says,"Did it go well?" )
Marina says,"I believe in putting good vibes into the Universe...I know that sounds a little new agey"
Marina says,"MHill don't know yet"
Marina says,"The soccer ball clock is in my room at my brothers house in Greece"
Kat says,"and the album? which room? ;)"
Kat says,"scrapbook I mean"
Marina says,"The album is here in my bookcase"
D says,"Marina, when's the last time you had a huge laughing fit? I don't need a reason why...just a time indication "
Marina says,"Can't remember laughing so hard I fell on the ground. But I laugh a lot, generally"
Marina says,"Lets do a chat a little sooner to make up for this one"
mhill51109 says,"Before you go, did you get the letter Franziska gave you concerning E-media Star?"
Marina says,"Yes, Emediastar has it in their posession"
mhill51109 says,"Thank you for handing it on!"
Marina says,"I want to thank all of my European fans for staying up late. Maybe next time we'll do it a little earlier. "
Marina says,"Hopefully by the time we chat next time there will have been some improvements. Moonshade, I don't buy the malevolence for one minute. And to the rest of you Peace and I'll speak to you soon. "
Marina says,"Good-Bye! I just logged off!"
(Thanks to those who helped me get the chat together, you know who you are!)
