Jennifer Lien came out on stage looking a bit lost. This is
not unusual for celebrities who are not used to the SciFi convention phenomenon
but she looked really out of it. She waved to the audience then turned to stare
at some guy, who we later figured out was her significant other, that came out
on stage with her and was trying to be inconspicuous in the back corner.
Eventually, she took a seat and got ready for questions.
As always, the emcee started off the questions with, "How did you get your start
in acting?" It seems to be a nice ice-breaker and usually gets them talking. Not
this time boy-o. Her response, and I'm quoting as verbatim as I can remember
here, was, "Um... I did some plays, then I went on some auditions and got some
parts."
Okaaaaaaaay... Maybe she hasn't ever done this before and the answer really was
that simple to her but that's not what the fans want to hear. After snapping a
few pictures I simply had to leave the stage area. Her answers weren't getting
much better, the emcee was carrying the "interview" and it was like watching a
train wreck because they still had 45 minutes to go.
I found out later that the pollen count in Oklahoma
that day kicked her allergies into high gear and the antihistimines
threw her for a loop.
Are you in one of these pictures? Would you like a copy?
