The Death of Joy Watson
September 9, 2009 10:10 pm

Joy WatsonChris and I would like to take a moment to note the passing of one of Bridget’s Legend of the Seeker co-stars, Joy Watson. Joy played the older version of Shota in the episodes Reckoning and Identity. She died as the result of a car crash in the UK where she was attending a WWII evacuee reunion. Aside from missing her on the show, she sounds as though she led a wonderful life and our condolences go out to her family.

And they want actress Bridget Regan to star as “Wonder Woman.”

Results of the Wonder Woman Poll
August 10, 2009 3:57 pm

Well, Bridget fans have certainly spoken! The results of the Wonder Woman poll came out today and, no surprise to us, she ran away with it. She ended up with just over 62% of the vote. Good work to everyone who voted! This doesn’t mean she’ll get the role or that the movie will even be made but it shows the kind of devoted following Bridget has and, as Lindsey said, it’s great publicity. Thanks all!

More Wonder Woman Stuff
August 9, 2009 11:36 pm

ManCouch.com posted an article today that’s basically why Bridget is perfect for the role of Wonder Woman and all the other girls aren’t. It’s a really good article and it’s humorously entitled 1-Da-Woman: Bridget Regan. So go check that out here: http://www.mancouch.com/709351253/1-da-woman-bridget-regan/

Also, the MTV poll for Wonder Woman closes tomorrow at noon Eastern. As it stands now she’s at 62%. But please, go vote (again) if you haven’t already. That’s some awesome exposure if [when] Bridget wins.

(Bill, if you saw the Google Alert, and are now seeing this, Chris caught it for me. He’s going to have to start reading stuff before I post it. hehe)

Playbill On Opening Night: Is He Dead? : Twain, Pretty In Pink
by Harry Haun, December 10, 2007

This is a Playbill article on the play Is He Dead? Bridget made her Broadway debut in this play. Here is an excerpt in which she briefly discusses the play and her role in it:

Plus, she’s (Admin note: Jenn Gambatese, the actress who plays the heroine and also the sister of Bridget Regan’s character is referred to here) the only female in the cast who is spared facial hair. Bridget Regan is less lucky, playing her sister who turns mustache-twirling sleuth to sniff out the identity fraud going on in the play: “When I was first reading the script after I had been cast, I was reading my first scene as the inspector with Norbert. This is hysterical. It’s a man and a woman, and both of them are in drag, which is insane. Who’d think of this stuff? You have got to appreciate the love of drag in this show. It practically qualifies as a theme.”

Fresh out of North Carolina School of the Arts (Mary-Louise Parker Country), Regan is making her Broadway debut here.
