Let's start here again, please.

Viv rocked so much in 9/11!
I love she can calm people down.

Ever notice that Marianne's NY Accent drops into British things sometimes?? I cant remember what word it was, but it should end with "a" but she says it with "er", I just find that amusing.

I am so glad you made mention of her performance in the 911 episode... I couldn't agree more... I love her look this season and her performance is on the money (as always)...

Hadn't noticed the accent thing, but that's not unusual for me... I usually don't notice accents unless they're 'full on'

yay! i adore MJB! i had no idea she was british until, like, 2 years ago! isn't amazing how people can change the way they talk like that? i watched her little video on cbs's website (which sucks, btw - hasn't been updated in like 3 years and all the pics are old and suck) and my jaw just dropped! she's a total brit! i love european accents . . . but then again, don't all us chicks?

and i just have to comment on something - i don't know if is still this way, but on imdb.com MJB was always listed *last* in the credits - even AFTER sanchez!!! there were even a couple eps where she was listed as a GUEST star! i emailed them about it and never got a response and it remained that way. i haven't looked in a while, though, so maybe they finally fixed it. totally

'd me off! she's like 2nd or 3rd on the show's opening credits! what a crock! i couldn't believe it! anyne know if they're all fixed, now?

I love accents period... though I do have one.. so people tell me...

If I watch a movie I find myself unwillingly trying to imitate them

It's a shame they haven't updated Marianne's video (or any of the casts for that matter...) Get going, CBS! Sheesh!

**NikNak** · 10-11-2006, 07:35 PM

I haven't seen 9/11 yet.

Aww, Astra has an accent? I would love to hear it one day. Hee!

Marianne did a new movie

City of Ember (2008) (post-production) .... Clary

I read the first two books. They were pretty good. I don't remember, though, who Clary was.

**Astra** · 07-17-2008, 11:53 AM

Oh yeah.... I've heard of that book though I've not read it.... Will check that out

tidbit2008 · 07-17-2008, 01:51 PM

It's a bit more of a kid book than adult, I would think, but it was still good. I think City of Ember was the first one and People of Sparks was the second. I think the third one came out a while back but I haven't picked it up.

**Astra** · 07-17-2008, 05:52 PM

I remember seeing it at a book fair and contemplated getting it for my son to read....

tidbit2008 · 07-17-2008, 07:58 PM

He's 13 right? It's about that age level, I think. It was interesting. I'll go back one day and read the last one. I had just moved on to other things by the time it came out.

**NikNak** · 07-17-2008, 10:09 PM

Thanks for that news.

tidbit2008 · 07-18-2008, 07:55 PM

No problemo

Yup.... He has lots of good books he hasn't read, but he's one of those kids who like to reread his older favorites...

*shrug* He has a summer reading book that he has to read, and I think he's liking it so far... He would like others too if he'd just give 'em a chance!

Marianne on the Late, Late show!

Hilarious interview. It was awesome to see her
