Click here to view the video. There was no embed option, or I would have posted it below as well. The interview is a little old (from September 2008), but since I didn’t have it on the site yet, I thought I’d go ahead and post it. Better late then never, I suppose.
Actrice très douée et également superbe (ce qui n’est pas pour déplaire), Mia Kirshner a connu à ce jour sa plus grande heure de gloire aux yeux du grand public dans le Dahlia Noir (elle était d’ailleurs bien la seule). C’est sans compter que Mia promène sa jolie frimousse et sa forte personnalité dans des séries TV, de 24 Heures Chrono où elle avait joué une méchante, à The L Word où elle tient l’un des rôles principaux. C’est autour de la sortie de la saison 4 de cette série, déjà disponible dans les bacs, que nous l’avons rencontrée cet été pour une interview sans langue de bois, où l’on constate qu’elle n’est pas forcément accro aux séries TV et loin d’être atteinte du carriérisme aigu dont bon nombre d’actrices à Hollywood sont victimes. Ce qui quelque part est rageant étant donné son talent.
Mia is featured in yet another new magazine! She’s currently featured on the cover of and inside the February 2009 issue of Chatelaine magazine. Doesn’t she look so lovely? I can’t wait to get a copy. Unfortunately this is a Canadian magazine and I don’t have access to it either, but I will get a copy for the site just as soon as I can.
Another big thanks to Larissa for letting us know about Mia being featured in the Winter 2008/2009 issue of Heeb magazine and it’s yet another absolutely gorgeous photoshoot. I will get a copy of this one just as soon as I can as well.
October 22, 2008 – Mia Kirshner joined fellow contributors Paul Shoebridge and Michael Simmons to share their powerful “paper documentary” I Live Here at our Tribeca store.
On an unrelated note to those of you who emailed me over the past week/weekend, I will be responding very soon. I’ve been super busy at work and home and haven’t had a chance to catch up. I just wanted to write a quick note to let you know that I hadn’t forgotten about you.
A big thanks to Candice for letting me know that Mia is featured on the cover and in the current issue of Jane and Jane magazine. I’ve never seen this mag in stores, so I will most likely have to order it, but as soon as I get a copy in my hot little hands, scans will be added to the gallery.
Personal, Meet Political
In sharp contrast to her navel-gazing character on The L Word, Mia Kirshner has no problem thinking globally. Jane and Jane caught up to the actress in Austin, Texas, on her book tour for I Live Here, a “paper documentary” benefiting Amnesty International.
David Rancken of KVIL radio station in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX was kind enough to email me this morning and let me know about the interview he did with Mia recently. You can either stream or download the podcast here (it’s the 2nd interview under “The Rancken File”) and it’s about 40 minutes in length. It’s a great listen, so do check it out when you have a moment.
Most journals are about our own little problems. But Toronto actress Mia Kirshner travelled to four desperate parts of the world to bring back the tales of the most vulnerable people, Gayle MacDonald writes
For the past seven years, Toronto actress Mia Kirshner has been obsessed with self-financing and publishing her debut book, I Live Here, a harrowing tribute to the overlooked victims of war, corrupt governments and crippling disease.
“I worked on the book – all the time,” says Kirshner, a gorgeous, dark-haired slip of a thing who started acting as an extra in low-budget television and saw her career take off after nailing roles in Love & Human Remains and Exotica.
“I drove my friends and family insane because they said it’s all I talked about. I know it’s true, and I’m sure, very annoying to be around. But it literally has been an odyssey, an obsession for me. Because once I saw how many people have sacrificed so much … well, I became obsessed,” she says with a smile.
Kirshner says all this while in town last week to present her so-called paper documentary at the International Festival of Authors. The 33-year-old explains that she became fixated with the idea of the four-part book – which took the actress and many collaborators to some of the most ravaged places in Chechnya, Myanmar, Juarez, Mexico, and Malawi – after 9/11.
