Alexa Davalos Appreciation Thread

This is the appreciation thread for the lovely actress, Alexa Davalos.



Brief Biography from Alexa Davalos Web -- the orignal & largest alexa davalos site

Alexa Davalos was in Paris, France on May 28, 1982; and although born in France she comes from Greek decent. An only child fluent in English, Greek, and French; Alexa relocated to Los Angeles from New York. She made her first screen appearance in John Frankenheimer's "Riviera" when she was 3. Her love of performing took root when her family relocated to New York City and Davalos became involved with ballet. Following her mother (Elyssa Davalos, a notable television and theater actress) and grandfather (Richard Davalos, legendary for his performance as James Dean's brother in "East of Eden") from set to set allowed Davalos a unique insight into the world of acting.
Throughout Davalos' childhood, her mother continued training with Stella Adler. Davalos sat in on some of those classes and remembers the experience as having a profound impact on her desire to act. In her early teen years, she spent most of her time on location or in the theater with her mother, doing anything to be involved. It was also around this time that she made her first commercial with Patty Hansen.

She has worked as a model with such prominent photographers as Peter Lindbergh and her father, Jeff Dunas, and has been studying acting in New York at The New School and working at the renowned Flea Theater.

The brunette stunner spent the ensuing years modeling and appearing in theatrical productions while also pursuing her love of ballet. By 2002, Alexa was ready for her breakout. She entered primetime that year with an appearance in FOX's quirky show Undeclared in addition to a recurring role as ass kicker Gwen Raiden in Angel.

She's also working in a movie based on the book "Feast of Love" by Charles Baxter. The project includes actors Greg Kinnear and Morgan Freeman and is due in 2007. She'll be playing the character Chloe.

Description of the book:
Amazon.com
Among literary cognoscenti, Charles Baxter has a well-deserved reputation as one of America's finest writers. Best known for his short stories, Baxter has also produced three novels. His fourth, The Feast of Love, combines the best of both genres--with a light dusting of metafiction to sweeten the dish. The book begins with Baxter himself waking from a nightmare and going for a moonlit walk through his hometown of Ann Arbor, Michigan. While sitting on a park bench, he is joined by an acquaintance of 12 years--and, incidentally, one of the main characters in the novel. It is Bradley who gives Baxter the name for the novel he's currently struggling to write, and even offers himself as a character:
You should call it The Feast of Love. I'm the expert on that. I should write that book. Actually, I should be in that book. You should put me into your novel. I'm an expert on love. I've just broken up with my second wife, after all. I'm in an emotional tangle. Maybe I'd shoot myself before the final chapter. Your readers would wonder about the outcome.
But why stop there? Bradley goes on to suggest that he send people to Baxter, "actual people, for a change, like for instance human beings who genuinely exist, and you listen to them for a while. Everybody's got a story, and we'll just start telling you the stories we have"--a sly tip-off to the reader of this elegant, quirky, and wholly engrossing novel that the writer may be no more reliable than his narrators.
What follows is a chronicle of love--the mad kind, the bad kind, and the kind that sustains us when everything else is gone. In addition to Smith, we meet Chloé, a young waitress at Bradley's espresso bar, and her ex-junkie boyfriend, Oscar; Bradley's next door neighbors, Harry Ginsburg, an elderly professor of philosophy, and his wife, Esther; and Kathryn and Diana, Bradley's two ex-wives. The characters take turns narrating, often commenting on and correcting versions of events mentioned by other characters in previous chapters, and occasionally advising Baxter on the progress of his novel: "Don't threaten people, especially lawyers" legal eagle Diana warns "Charlie" shortly before she launches into her own story. "Don't threaten your own characters. It's for your own good. You'll wind up in a mess of litigation and... subplots." But in The Feast of Love, God is in the subplots--Oscar and Chloé's involvement in the porn industry; Esther and Harry's agonized relationship with their mentally ill son; Bradley's travails in love, art, and dog ownership. As the novel progresses, these separate strands gradually merge, and not even an unexpected tragedy can dim the luster of this moonstruck romance. For by the time Baxter brings his tale of love and loss and redemption to a close, his characters have all found their way to the feast--bittersweet though some of the dishes may be.

I liked Gwen later on in the Angel episodes when she was paired off with Gunn. At first I hated her since she appeared to be coming in as a possible love interest for Angel and there was nothing more important to me than the Cordy/Angel pairing at the time.

Well in episode 4x02 they kiss and then when she returns later in the season she's quiet flirty with Angel and Possessed!Cordy isn't very happy with it.

But then she hooks up with Gunn and I'm all loving her again.
