INTERVIEW WITH CANADIAN ACTRESS & ONE OF<br />
MAXIM’S TOP 100 MODELS, LAURA VANDERVOORT (CONT’D)<br />
FF: If you could describe your love<br />
life in three words, they would be...<br />
LV: Loyalty, patience, and understanding.<br />
FF: You’ve been on countless magazine<br />
covers, red carpets, premieres, etc.? What is<br />
the first thing to do when deciding what to wear?<br />
LV: I used to always just wear what I felt<br />
comfortable in. As I’m getting older, I like to<br />
take more risks. I love fashion and trying new<br />
things. I have a wonderful stylist and friend,<br />
Karen Raphael, and my hair and makeup guru<br />
and friend, Glenn Nutley, that help me get it<br />
right and encourage me to try new things.<br />
FF: Tell us about your new show, “Bitten”,<br />
and supporting cast?<br />
LV: It’s honestly the most challenged I’ve<br />
been yet. “Bitten” is based on a series of<br />
novels by New York Times bestseller, Kelley<br />
Armstrong. I play the lead, Elena Michaels,<br />
who grew up in a foster care system.<br />
She has had a horrific childhood, and was<br />
always afraid to trust and love. She falls<br />
in love with her Professor (Clay) in college<br />
and finally feels at ease. Willing to trust.<br />
She soon feels betrayed when she discovers<br />
he is a werewolf (don’t you hate when that<br />
happens), and bites her thereby destroying<br />
any chance she has at a normal life.<br />
Elena becomes the only female to survive<br />
a bite, and hence begins the incredible<br />
dark and edgy story of Elena’s two worlds<br />
colliding. She tries to maintain a normal life in<br />
Toronto while denying who she has become.<br />
“BITTEN” IS BASED ON<br />
A SERIES OF NOVELS<br />
BY NEW YORK TIMES<br />
BESTSELLER,<br />
KELLEY ARMSTRONG.<br />
I PLAY THE LEAD,<br />
ELENA MICHAELS.<br />
It’s also about the pack and family dynamic<br />
she has always wanted, but becoming a<br />
horrifying animal repulses her. The cast is<br />
absolutely wonderful. We all immediately<br />
clicked, like any pack. It’s a joy working<br />
with all of them; I looked forward to it<br />
every morning. We pushed each other<br />
hard, and gave our all to the show.<br />
Bitten already has a large existing fan base<br />
thanks to the novels, so we wanted to make<br />
sure we gave that loyal fan base what they’d<br />
imagined, plus so much more.<br />
