About ★ Alex
Alex Vause★In just a few days she’s managed to set hearts ablaze with a ferocity
of which I haven’t seen before. So why is that? I feel that often the physicalization of actors is overlooked,
with more of an emphasis on the emotional output. I believe that it is Laura Prepon’s ability to physicalize
her intentions – whether it be a play for power, vulnerability, desire - that makes Alex Vause as compelling
as she is★ The way Prepon’s Alex walks into a room, how she plants her feet, how every part of her is totally solid,
sends unconscious signals to the audience. It says, “I’m in control, you can trust me.” Which is weird,
because we can’t and neither can Piper and that’s what’s so amazing and delicious about the whole thing★
Alex uses her glasses to shield herself. When she’s in control, they stay on. When she wants to truly see,
or be seen, she takes them off. [DanaPiccoli]

Quotes
"Rule No. 1: Don't fall in love with a straight girl."

"I think that when you have a connection with someone
it never really goes away, you know? You snap back to
being important to each other because you still are."

Reasons We ★ Laura
Because she was our dear Donna
Because she got cast as 'Nikki Heat'

Reasons We ★ Alex
Because in short, she's hot

Because we love her snark

I can't wait to see Alex again!

I can't spoil it for you so I won't say anything, just watch!

~Unfaithful~ · 08-03-2014, 08:45 AM

My kids are staying at my friends, so hubby and I will watch at least 1 more at dinner

New thread!

On the scene: Laura Prepon celebrates her Bella Magazine cover in the Hamptons

Tell me the highlight of shooting this cover, was it a fun experience?

Laura Prepon: By the way, they said it was the best selling cover. Yeah it was amazing! Everyone that works at the magazine is so cool, so it was great!

What are your summer plans?

Laura Prepon: Right now I am shooting "Orange," and I am actually co-writing a book with Elizabeth Troy. Mainly I'm working on the show and we're doing Season 3.

What's the book about?

Laura Prepon: We can't say anything yet, but it's definitely going to change the way people think. It's about health in general and food.

What has been the highlight of playing Alex Vause?

Laura Prepon: Honestly, she's just such a badass, you know? She's so cool, I've never played anybody like her, she's really strong and fierce but she has these moments of vulnerability that are so real and so humbling. It's pretty incredible.

How do you think that Netflix releasing all of the episodes at once has impacted the success of the show?

Laura Prepon: I feel like people when they watch it, they watch it compulsively, and they get really really into the characters, and also people want to watch TV on their own time, they want to make their own schedules. It's not a coincidence that movie box office is down, people want to make their own schedules and watch what they want, when they want, and Netflix is making really amazing stuff.

Reflect on bonding with all of the actresses on the show.

Laura Prepon: It's amazing, it's rare when you get to work with this many incredible actresses and every day, it's just awesome! It's awesome.

That magazine cover is STUNNING.

I Don't know if this is the real thing but I found this on twitter a couple of weeks ago

And she's writing a book! I didn't know that.

b4dark · 08-04-2014, 05:26 AM

thanks, I hope it's the real thing! I can't remember if we see a shot of the letter or not during the episode

I want Alex to tell us more!!!

~Unfaithful~ · 08-04-2014, 05:37 AM

I just love Laura's interviews. She is amazing.

MrღMrsStinsbatskys · 08-04-2014, 09:04 AM

So, Laura's writing a health book interesting I'm very excited for season 3 I hate waiting so long for it.

~Unfaithful~ · 08-04-2014, 09:17 AM

I know. It's torturous.
