From Today’s Girl:

Birthday: July 24, 1982
Hometown: Winnipeg, Canada

How You Know Her: Plays mind reader Sookie Stackhouse in HBO´s vampire saga True Blood; known to fanboys as Rogue from the X-Men movies; is the second-youngest Oscar winner ever, and stores the award in her closet. Oscars, sexuality, decaying drifters… looks like we all keep our most prized possessions in the closet.

Many thanks to Andrea for sending in scans from the October issue of SFX magazine and December issue of Sci-Fi magazine.

Also, I know I said in my last update that the screencaps for Cold Ground would be up in a few days, but unfortunately the hard drive they were on decided it no longer wanted to work. While I was able to restore some of the drive, I couldn’t get the screencaps due to space issues so I am going to have to recap the episode as soon as I get time.

I will add scans from both magazines as soon as they get here but there’s two articles in this month’s h and next month’s BlackBook. Also, I should have screencaps from both “The First Taste” and “Mine” tomorrow, it’s been a little hectic around here.

There’s been interviews galore the last day or so. I have not gotten a chance to add them to the press archive yet, so I will just list the links below. The Los Angeles premiere of True Blood is tonight, so I will hopefully be able to add photos from that event soon.

From WWD:

WWD: What attracted you to this part in the first place?

Anna Paquin: Well, this whole world is so kind of exciting and unusual as far as the supernatural elements but also has so much in it that’s really emotionally poignant and the characters are so strong and so well drawn out. My character is so tough but she’s sweet and she’s innocent, but she’s kind of worldly. There’s just so much to it that it does not get boring.

From Starpulse:

Mixing romance, suspense, mystery and humor, the new HBO series True Blood kicks off its 12-episode season Sunday, Sept. 7 (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT). Starring Academy Award® winner Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer, the series is createdand executive produced by Alan Ball (creator of the Emmy®-winning HBO series “Six Feet Under”), who also wrote the first three episodes and directs two episodes of the show, which is based on the popular Sookie Stackhouse novels of Charlaine Harris.

Q: How did you get involved with ‘True Blood?’ Had you been considering getting into television?

Anna Paquin: I had been thinking that it would be really awesome to be a part of one of those really good HBO shows, and then this showed up. I thought, “There’s no way in hell I’m gonna get this, but I’ll give it my best.” There’s nothing more exciting as an actor than getting to do something that you’re not entirely sure that anyone would let you do, and getting to take a big jump in a completely different direction. The brightness of my character’s personality is so refreshing; it doesn’t mean she doesn’t deal with heavy issues, or doesn’t have hardship. It just means that she’s not dealing with it by introverting and becoming this dark, tortured person, which I’ve done a lot of.

From The New York Post:

Q: Why do you think people are so fascinated with vampires?
AP: Because they are sexy. They are dangerous. What girl doesn’t like a bad boy?
