   12 June 2007 - Ginnifer Goodwin, Feist   
   14 Jun 07 13:46:34   
   
   From: nebusj-@-rpi-.edu   
      
   Ginnifer Goodwin:   
   	- Conan's a fan of 'Big Love'; she's a fan of Conan's.  Do   
   people react to her character's controversial life?  She gets thanked a   
   lot, women stop her and thank him.  She asks what for; their husbands   
   wanted more in the household until they saw 'Big Love'.  The polygamy is   
   emotionally extremely draining.   
   	   
   	- Goodwin auditioned for it for months.  They have her a crying   
   and a sex scene.  She had an invisible sex partner.  The screen test was   
   with Bill Paxton, who she'd never met, and they auditioned in front of   
   dozens of suited men.   
   	   
   	- She crawled into Paxton's seat and began making out with him.   
   He wasn't expecting her advances.  ``That's me on the New York subway   
   all through the 80s.''  She realized the other actresses hadn't done it.   
    She exited to prepare for the crying scene; she cried to her agent and   
   apologized.  Her agent was going 'Ginny, Ginny, Ginny.'  On conference   
   call are 25 dudes in suits; they said, 'Welcome to Big Love!'  She   
   almost had a car accident, but she got the part.   
   	   
   	- She has more sex scenes than others.  It doesn't feel intense   
   to her since she has a contact come to her before the scene, and   
   describes *exactly* what she will do, she'll unbutton from the third   
   button, hang from the fan, make this noise .. it makes her feel   
   comfortable to have that exactly detailed.   
   	   
   	- There's 'no patches', stickers so ... she covers her body in   
   Post-It notes with things like 'My face is up here'?   
   	   
   	- She was in Clown College.  She took a Clown Class.  She   
   failed.  She doesn't know how you fail it.  She thought it'd be 'wear a   
   red nose' and 'how many clowns can you fit in a car?'  They don't give   
   you math questions, like, 'what is the nozzle velocity of the seltzer?'   
   The class is about embarrassing yourself; she was horrified.  In her   
   clown exam she was told she was the worst clown her instructor had ever   
   seen.  That's the saddest thing Conan's ever heard.   
      
      
   Feist:   
   	- From 'The Reminder': 1234.  I like this a good deal; it sounds   
   like something I'd have grown up listening to and remembering fondly for   
   it.  Very nice piece and it'll be in my mind for a while.
