How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The Ways:

Quote:

She's from somewhere very far away and we thank God every day that they sent her here because she is so unique and so just different from any person I've ever met. (Hilarie Burton)

We were fortunate enough to find Bethany Joy... [she is a] free spirit and the best human being. (Mark Schwahn)

She's quiet, soulful. That's a good word for her. She's one of those people who are just really talented. (David Hartley, One Tree Hill producer)

The audience took to Joie in the snap of a finger. I've never seen anything like that before. (Mary Alice Dwyer-Dobbin, executive in charge of Procter & Gamble productions [Guiding Light, As The World Turns])

I love working with Joie... My first impression of Joie was, 'Damn, she's 17.' (Paul Anthony Stewart, Guiding Light)

I love Joie, with all her youthful abandon, equally if not more than I love Rebecca [Budig]'s portrayal. She is fresher and even though younger than Paul Anthony Stewart, she holds herself well. (Patti D'Arbanville, Guiding Light)

Joie Lenz... wasn't she great... I got her a gold bracelet at the end of the shoot that had "Reva 17" inscribed on it. What a talent... We shot 7 shows in 5 days that first week... almost 200 solid pages of material... it could have been a horrific experience... It was great fun... (Robert Newman, Guiding Light)

[Joie is] an amazing person. She's the type of girl who can do anything! She's been fortunate to be in the public limelight on a number of occasions, but we've never seen it go to her head. She's mature well beyond her actual years. She's level-headed and sensible, yet full of that crazy artist-passion which makes her so fun! (a family friend)

I wasn't really a hardcore Danny and Michelle fan, but I did really like Joie Lenz. She easily clicked and held her own with Robert Newman, Michael O'Leary, Hunt Block, Laura Wright, and other actors. Paul Anthony Stewart is a good actor and Joie Lenz clicked with him too. I was a fan of hers from the clone. She was the perfect adult Michelle. She gave Michelle a depth that was lacking since Rachel Miner left the role. There was such a genuine quality to her. She didn't play Michelle as a victimized martyr either. She played Michelle as a true heroine who was sweet, sexy, passionate, and strong. Unlike the current Michelle, her Michelle had a backbone. She was determined without being obstinate. She was warm without being tepid. She was sweet without being saccharine. She was devoted and loyal without seeming like a stepford wife with a glazed look in her eye. She didn't have to try to be sexy. She just was. (a Guiding Light viewer)

I couldn't help but notice that the 'it' she brought to the screen, and in her photographs, transferred to her being right in front of me. Some actors just look different, some look the same, some blend in, but she stood out every single time. What she brought to the screen came across very easily. (a fan on seeing Joie in person)

It isn't just one scene or one moment that captured our hearts, it's the character that was created and nurtured over time. It's a scene here, a moment there, that look in her eye, the smile on her lips, it's all of them coming together, it's the little things that I will miss and remember most. [...] I will remember all the faces of Michelle: daughter, sister, friend, wife and mother. So instead of rushing home to pull out my tape and watch my scene, I'll just close my eyes, cue the song in my heart and let my mind take me back and just remember... (JLC tribute on Joie's last day on Guiding Light)

Callalily · 12-14-2004, 05:10 AM

So right about the title!!!

dare.you.to.move · 12-14-2004, 08:27 AM

scherra, great opening post! I loved reading the quotes.

pinkpretzel · 12-14-2004, 11:28 AM

I

the new thread scherra!

And yes, I love the quotes about her, it's always wonderful to read about what ppl have to say about her. She seems like a genuinely nice person. And she's as real as you can get. There are hardly any celebrities out now that are like that.

Quote:

She's level-headed and sensible, yet full of that crazy artist-passion which makes her so fun!

Love this.

Beckhamsgrl · 12-14-2004, 03:01 PM

sprinkle13181 · 12-14-2004, 05:31 PM

Brilliant thread!

"How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The Ways" kicked butt!! Loved reading all those quotes. Especially about GL, she really did something great for that character.

Aww the wallpaper is beautiful! A rose by any other name. comes to mind

Awsome!

same old story · 12-14-2004, 07:55 PM

I got some other adorable quotes about Joie. They're all from Hil, which is why I love them so...

She's gotta record an album, she's gotta be on Broadway. And so it's only a matter of time before that happens. I just feel that she's one of those people who’s way too good to be down here with us.

Joie came to my rescue. She knew exactly how I was feeling. She's a very old soul and very spiritual. She can make any situation better.

This one is just an extended version of the Hilarie one already in the opening post, but I thought the other stuff was cute too.

Her name is Joie. We call her Joybutter. She’s from somewhere very far away and we thank God every day that they sent her here because she is so unique and so just different from any person I’ve ever met. You know at first, we were all like Joie – she’s different. And then we realized, OMG this girl’s like the coolest. She can do anything. She’s got wild ideas and she’s just a fun, fun person to hang out with.

Rosebud55 · 12-14-2004, 09:33 PM

Great title and pretty thread.
This is a great shot of Joie from the Chad magazine I never saw it before, hope it is new for you too.

sprinkle13181 · 12-14-2004, 10:01 PM

Aw, her hair's so curly

I've never seen that Rosie, thanks

SweetSymphony · 12-14-2004, 10:43 PM

Scherra, what an amazing start! I really enjoyed reading all the quotes from other people and their wonderful opinion about Joie.

Heather, it's so pretty!

Rosie, thanks for the picture..I never seen that one of her before! I love that look on her face..it's like she just won a bet or something.

kalipinay23 · 12-15-2004, 12:54 AM

Beckhamsgrl

OneTreeHillQT · 12-15-2004, 01:43 AM
