VD: Yeah, I think it definitely suffered from that because we were in an election year and because education is a hotbed issue. And people have strong opinions about public school education, unions, charter schools, and parent-trig- ger laws. Occasionally, the timing of a movie is just bad and I think, in the case of this movie, it was probably the worst. KW: What interested you about Beautiful Creatures? VD: What interested me was that the character wasn’t what she appeared to be. That she had different secrets to be discovered. When you first meet her, she’s kind of just woven into the fabric of this family. But then you see the tribal scarification on her back, and you see her channeling spirits. And then you learn that she’s the keeper of a library that’s the gateway to different worlds. I like that. I like when there are different layers to peel away. It was just sub- tle enough to play and to craft. That’s what appealed to me about the role. KW: Have you ever made a romantic fantasy before? Is Kate & Leopold the closest you’ve done to something like this? VD: I didn’t think of Kate & Leopold, but yeah, I guess so. It’s the only other time I’ve tried this genre. KW: In this case, the film is more akin to the Twilight and Harry Potter series. VD: I love young adult fantasies. While I say that, I have not seen all of the Twilight and Harry Potter movies. But I’ve read all of the books, and I love them. I love them because I enjoy being transported to a different world and having my imagination challenged. That’s a huge part of what we do as actors. We have to imagine ourselves in a dif- ferent world. And when you are in a young adult fantasy, it challenges you in the best way. Rodanthe, a movie I did with Diane Lane. Jean was kind of fun, and tough, sarcastic, artistic, creative, quirky and a lit- tle sexy. She was probably the closest to the real me.

KW: Patricia also points out that you’ll be receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this year. She’d like to know what that means to you. VD: I keep forgetting about that until someone reminds me again. I kid you not. What does it mean? It’s hard for me to say that I’ve made it, because no real actor feels that way. But it does represent a physical manifestation of my dreams coming to fruition, if that makes any sense. We honor the many accomplishments of African Americans. explore youruniverse KW: Did you see The Hunger Games? That’s another adaptation of a young adult book that targeted teens and ‘tweeners. VD: Yes, it was fabulous! KW: Editor/legist Patricia Turnier asks: Among all the characters you played, which one is closest to your person- ality and why? VD: You know who? The character I played in Nights in GAMBLING TOO MUCH? It is our primary goal as a labor union to better the lives of all people working in the building trades through advocacy, civil demonstration, and the long-held belief that workers deserve a "family wage" - fair pay for an honest day's work. A family wage, and the benefits that go with it, not only strengthens families, but also allows our communities to become stronger, more cohesive, and more responsive to their citizens' needs. Our family wage agenda reflects our commitment to people working in the building trades, and to workers every- where. In this small way, we are doing our part to help people achieve the American Dream. This dream that work- ers can hold dear regardless of race, color, national origin, gender, creed, or religious beliefs. www.theskanner.com SECURITY WA State Convention Center (WSCC) is accepting appli- cations for Full-Time Security Officer.
