Thanks for the reports, Kitten and Pam! It sounds like it was a great time!

I am so jealous.  It sounds like a wonderful experience, to actually get to talk to Stana.  Hope you can post pictures on this site.

That is so awesome Pamfromcalif that you actually got to meet and talk with Stana.  How cool.  So jealous.  I'm actually heading to L.A. next week with a girlfriend for a mini-vacation (get out of the cold cold weather of Michigan).  I wish Stana was doing a theater bit the weekend that I will be in town (28th-1st).  That would be a great birthday present to actually be able to meet her. From interviews I've read and what you have wrote, she sounds so down to earth and fun.  Love that she wore six inch heels…

Pam: Thank you so much for sharing your memories in such great detail with the rest of us! I was there that night but had to leave after the reading, and I have been pretty disappointed all week for missing out on the opportunity to meet Stana. Your account of the meet-and-greet experience made me feel like I was there too.

It looks like it was a television program on PBS way back when. If you scroll down the page from the link above, you will see a description for the sold-out video set that includes the same cast of historical figures from last Sunday's show. I wonder if they used the original TV program script for the reading? It would be interesting if PBS did a revival of Meeting of Minds by filming the once-a-month show in LA for broadcast.

I wrote the producer of the play and he is finding out the details I will post them here if he finds out anything. Could just be used for archival footage or for an upcoming special. I sure hope so as they filmed the entire reading. We could see the camera it was facing me and they were shooting the entire play. I hope it comes out on DVD, Stana and entire cast fab. They read from scripts as their speeches were long, so they did read with scripts not from memory for the most part.

I don't think it was PBS, I thought it was a freelancer from Sweden doing a documentary.  I could be wrong, but chatted the gal up for  awhile and didn't sound like it was for PBS. 

All I know is that there were more then one press & media outlet there and they said they'd either email me info or call me. I will have to wait and see if they do, maybe someone got more info.

They sent me a short note earlier tonight.

The interviews were for a Norwegian TV show.

At this point there are no dvd's, but it might be at a later stage.

Please remind us!

Lisa Stokke is from Norway, not Sweden, so if it was her you "chatted up", maybe that's where you went wrong…

Man, that is so American getting Norway and Sweden confused!  I'm usually much better than that with geography, but since my company has a bunch of clients in the Nordic region – Norway, Sweden and Finland and one  sales guy handles that territory – I tend to think of them as one entity, the Nordic region.

I'm so jealous of all of you who got to meet Stana. I saw that she tweeted about meeting a bunch of people after the performance, so that must have been you lucky folks! Curse how I live on the opposite side of the country! Anyway, it's great to hear that she was so giving of her time, especially since she had to be on the set so early, and so nice to everyone. I have wondered what she is like in real life. I've watched her interviews on Jimmy Kimmel and other late shows and she seems really fun and outgoing, but in her interview on the red carpet for the SAG awards she seemed shy and almost uncomfortable. Maybe she'd just had a long day of getting ready.
Alas. I guess I'll have to be content having met a co-worker's daughter who played Ruthie in Home is Where the Heart Stops (Ep 1.7).

pamfromcalif:

Maybe at the SAG Awards she was upset and embarrassed that they identified her as another actress all over the press & media, I'd be.

I thought it was only a website that misnamed her… So unless she was looking at that website, while walking the red carpet, she didn't know about it.

She seems to not like media circuses, which is what any red carpet is like.
