A new interview with Lauren Ambrose was posted on MeeVee today.
Thanks, Lauren, for doing these. I know you’re probably like me; don’t enjoy basking in the limelight.

A quick note: The A.V. Club has a new interview with Parker Posey.

… T minus 6 days, and counting…
The Return of Jezebel James premiers Friday, March 14.

There’s an excellent interview with Parker Posey in the Sioux City Journal Online.
I loved this part:

Posey sees the series as another “girl-centric” show that’s not about celebrity. “The writing comes from a really good place. I loved watching ’The Gilmore Girls.’ I thought it was amazing. (In one episode) they were watching Joseph Campbell DVDs during spring break. That was so me. It made me love Amy so much more.”
Loved that, because I’m a died-in-the-wool Gilmore Girls fan. I remember that GG episode. It’s from season 4, and it’s called, “Girls in Bikinis, Boys Doin’ the Twist.” Rory and Paris, in Ft. Lauderdale for spring break, spent a night watching Bill Moyers in Joseph Campbell and The Power of Myth on VHS. (I don’t know why they were watching it on VHS, but they clearly were.) A classic must-see for storytellers in any media, by the way.
Sigh. I am so looking forward to watching Amy’s work again on my TV screen!

This article talking about Amy Sherman-Palladino, from Gilmore Girls and now into Jezebel James—and how the latter got to be filmed in New York… This article is deep, engaging, and witty as all get out. (Reminds me a bit of Amy’s work.)
Here’s a snippet:

During a fire drill, she recalled, [Amy’s] mannequin was mistaken for a living, breathing person by crew members and firefighters who gathered on the street. But no one dashed into the building to rescue her.
“They naturally thought it was you,” Mr. Palladino said.
