The Chat with Adrienne Wilkinson - Saturday 15-July-2000 9pm EST


Part 9 - Eve and Gabrielle......Marraige proposals to Adrienne......her work in commercials.


Adrienne is asked some questions about the relationship between Eve and Gabrielle, with relation to Xena. It is clear from this chat that Adrienne is not only nice, but deep-thinking and intelligent.

TRANSCRIPT:

Moderator: gabsgreat says: "how does Eve feel about Xenas relationship with Gabrielle? "

Adrienne: I think at this point (being the new person) I automatically accept it- and I'm just thrilled to be included- but I also think that in some ways I am jealous of Gab- that she has all of these memories and moments with my mom- that Idon't

Moderator: gabsgreat says: "wow that is something I never thought of"

Adrienne: I also think that would be a cool ep to do- just the power struggle and acceptance- but it might be inappropriate as this last year should be about them- not the jealous kid

Moderator: Killing Joke says: "Freud would rejoice"

Moderator: LOL

Adrienne: ha- ya possibly- but I think freud would have been more intrigued by the triangle of me- xena and ares


During the conversation, there are several people in the palace who are either sending in questions asking Adrienne out, or asking her to marry them. Mel Lemon for one asks her out. I send in a marraige proposal, and finally Betsy snaps. 'Enough is enough', she tells people to stop stalking the very nice Adrienne. We really want her to come back again sometime, so we don't want to scare her away on her first visit. (Adrienne if you read this, we were just messing about, I know your not going to marry me without even meeting me.....lol!!!!!).

People ask about her audition for the Xena role, and also whether she'll be at the Pasadena con.

TRANSCRIPT:

Moderator: you guys, I am not going to forward marriage proposals...stop...LOL

Adrienne: Haaa!! I love that- I hope you weren't joking

Adrienne: that would be embaressing :-)

Moderator: I assure you I am not

Moderator: mom its steffi says: "How did you get the spot on Xena, did you try out, or were you just asked?"

Adrienne: I auditioned. Apparently they had been searching for a while.

Moderator: ALWheaties says: "Well, they made a GREAT choice!!! :)"

Moderator: mom its steffi says: "yes indeedy"

Adrienne: I was told the details of Livia- around 25 and the 'scourge of rome' but I didn't know anything about my lineage until I had been hired- so I didn't bring anything from Lucy or Hudson into the aud. Just a scary Roman warrior I guess

Moderator: gabsgreat says: "They did indeed"

Moderator: ButterCup says: "better than great!"

Moderator: ALWheaties says: "Did you have to go to NZ to audition?"

Moderator: Angel of Darkness says: "you didnt seem as psychotic as callisto, but you did have xena's ruthlessness."

Adrienne: I thought it was just for one episode and that I was messing around with Ares- as that was the audition scene- I didn't even see the script until I'd been hired as well - no- the audition was in LA

Adrienne: Ya- Callisto was crazy- I was just angry and determined

Moderator: }{anthe: Roman Empres§ says: "Will you be at the Pasadena Convention?"

Adrienne: But what kid that grew up without any real parents would't have this bitterness and anger inside- I thought that was grate motivation - the search for identity. Trying to be the best because you don't have anyone to prove to but yourself- s

Adrienne: The pasadena con would be great for me because its so close- but I haven't been booked for it yet.

Moderator: gabsgreat says: "Would love to see you there"

Moderator: Jaspar & [[Annie]] says: "well ring em tell your available *heheh*"

Adrienne: that one is sounding amazing- I would love to go

Moderator: Marilyn(TRBL007) says: "we would looovveee to see you"

Adrienne: thanks marilyn

Moderator: Killing Joke says: "Who knows: maybe cons in Europe in the future..."

Moderator: Ronny says: "I hope that too (europe)"

Moderator: gabsgreat says: "yes I am in England and we would love you over here"

Adrienne: Wow- wouldn't that be amazing!!!! - Talk about an amazing bonus for being part of a show- for an actor its amazing

Adrienne: Could I say 'amazing' more??? I'm just overwhelmed by the possabilities


Adrienne has now been talking for almost 2 hours. Everyone is really pleased that such a great chat has gone on for so long, and that Adrienne has been so great during it. Adrienne is even willing to talk for a bit longer.

TRANSCRIPT:

Moderator: Kaz says: "The folks here in the temple bath room think you're great to go for almost two hours with us."

Adrienne: thanks- its been so much fun- I love getting feedback

Moderator: And speaking of that, Adrienne, there are tons more questions but just say the word when you've had enough

Moderator: Breen says: "Yes thank you we're really enjoying this chat"

Her work in commercials is discussed.

TRANSCRIPT:

Moderator: Shawna says: "Have you done any commercials we may have seen?"

Adrienne: wow- I'm so amazing - how wonderful

Moderator: The Xena Elf says: "u r magnificent!"

Moderator: Breen says: "You have a lot of fans in Europe as well as elsewhere"

Moderator: Killing Joke says: "Allmighty Adrienne :)"

Adrienne: hmm- most of my commercials have been local- so I would sort of doubt it for most of you- considering Belgium and Sweden are here:-) but folks in Missouri or Southern Cali might have spotted me - I haven't done any national commercials yet

Moderator: Rhiannon Silverflame says: "Oooh, Southern Cal? I should pay more attention to commercials!"

Moderator: Tessa says: "Southern Cali BETTER of spotted ya!!! Or I'll tell 'em too. They should listen to a native."


.....still talking about commericals.

TRANSCRIPT:

Adrienne: thanks tessa Moderator: Jaspar & [[Annie]] says: "so later on in your career your going to have these embarassing " before she was a star" commercials hauled out for everyone to see *G*"

Moderator: Angel of Darkness says: "maybe u could put them up on your site"

Moderator: ALWheaties says: "And of course you're in the Xena promo commercials... :)"

Moderator: Breen says: "Do you prefer commercial work or TV?"

Adrienne: Yikes- ya the videos- every actors nightmare- actually commercial stuff isn't that bad- its the audition tapes that everyone is scared of- silly stuff is embarressing- but having to mime silly stuff just makes you feel ridiculous

Moderator: Jaspar & [[Annie]] says: "the 15 years from now " aww my gawd i didnt actually wear that in public" syndrome."

Adrienne: TV is far more fulfilling than commercials- so I enjoy it much more

Adrienne: ya exactly- what was I thinking!!!
