A most interesting opinion by fellow fan, Karren, has been added to the Lena-o-Meter rating for Queen of the Damed. I sure would've enjoyed the movie more if had stayed faithful to this scene.

To further celebrate, how about enjoying a good Lena article? Big thanks to Jinnie for this wonderfully insightful interview that Lena gave to the Associated Press back in 1990.
I, like many other Lena fans I bet, will be having a little dvd marathon tonight! Think I'll pop in a couple of Alias eps, followed by Polish Wedding and probably top it all off with Romeo Is Bleeding for a little psychotic fun!
03.20.04 - Is she is, or is she ain't returning? Damn that Wanda woman for getting us all peed-our-pants-excited by announcing Lena WILL be returning for an ep this season, only to quickly amend it to Lena MAY be returning for an ep this season. AGH! Don't toy with us like that woman!! You're gonna give us all heart attacks.
So, we still don't know diddly, but now our hopes are high that there's a chance Spy Mommy will be returning. Oh Please, Oh Please, Oh Please, let it be true!
03.18.04 - A bunch of goodies today!
Big thanks to J.C. for these great pics of Lena promoting Polish Wedding at the Sundance Festival.
