There is a 2 page article in the September 2008 issue of Glamour magazine (Penelope Cruz on the cover) about Mia and her work on her book I Live Here. I picked it up yesterday and it’s a really great, though rather short, read and includes photos and artwork from the book. I will have scans available as soon as I can, though it may be a little while as I am having some issues with my scanner and I’m getting ready to move in a couple of weeks.
This is the first film clip I’ve seen that features Mia, so I thought I’d post it here for you guys. I know the film hasn’t gotten the greatest reviews ever, but Mia and Heather look utterly adorable and I’m excited to see them in a project together.
Mia is featured in the May 2008 issue of Diva magazine (see excerpt below). I’ll be adding some scans that Mifunes sent in a little later today.
Mia Kirshner: Jenny’s nice sideAs The L Word’s author Jenny Schecter, she’s the girl we love to hate. But as DIVA found out, off-screen Mia Kirshner is her character’s antithesis. Interview by IVANA SLOANE
Let’s face it, poor old Jenny didn’t have much going for her from the start. After she broke the lovely Marina’s heart – and lied about cheating on her boyfriend, Tim – in Season One, she decided she’d become an author, and got all pretentious.
In Season Four we watched our troubled heroine wreak revenge on a literary critic by seducing her veterinarian girlfriend. Don’t get us started on the dog she adopted and had put down by the vet in question. Put simply, Schecter is no people-pleaser, and it’s precisely because of this that actress Mia Kirshner is drawn to her.
Kirshner positively laps up the challenge of playing the most hated lesbian character since Vinegar Tits on Prisoner: Cell Block H, and for that we salute her. But there’s more: when she’s not busy on the set in Vancouver, Mia is working on a book to raise awareness of misplaced peoples from the Far East, the profits from which she plans to donate to Amnesty International. When we asked her her favourite charity, in a heartbeat she told us it was Médecins Sans Frontièrs. So big up to Ms Mia: feminist, philanthropist and cover star.
Mifunes recently emailed me and mentioned that Mia is supposed to be featured in the March 2008 issue of Vogue, but neither of us are sure of which country’s Vogue this might be. I’ve looked in the US one, have searched eBay and Google as well, but have yet to find out if this the correct issue or from what country it might be. If any of you know and could either let me know which version to look for or send in scans (full credit will be given), I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
A huge thanks goes out to Johanna for sending in scans of Mia from the February 2007 issue of Vogue Italia. Click here or on the images below to view the scans.
