NEW - 10/05/10 - Lunch with JANE BADLER, ALICE BADLER & their mom, ENID!  What a wonderful birthday gift!  I haven't slept in days, knowing I'd be eating with the Badler Ladies. So my eyes were all red and puffy.  JANE turned on her "mother" mode and told me she wants me to get some sleep tonight!  But of course, I can't... not with this excitement, so I said I would sleep TOMORROW night.

	Yes, JANE is in NY preparing for Comic Con!  Jane started out the morning with a Starbucks double shot coffee with hardly any milk.  Talk about a pick me up!  For lunch she had a salad and water.  I ordered just a tiny fruit salad and JANE said I must eat more... "Go get a salad!"  So I did.  Then Jane disappeared and came back to the table and said, "I got you some hard boiled eggs."  SO SWEET looking after my health! ENID settled in with a Tuna Fish salad and offered me half, but I don't eat fish or seafood.  Not because I don't like the taste, but because when I was a kid, I had 2 goldfish and so I have a mental block from eating fish. JANE BADLER, October 5, 2010.  Gorgeous.
	Then ALICE came in with this beautiful bouquet of birthday balloons for me! Thank you, Alice!  What a huge smile you put on my face!! xoxo Over lunch, JANE and ALICE were bickering about how amazing ALICE (who can't take a compliment) looked.  You can't tell from the pics, but ALICE was wearing an amazing ruffle white shirt.  The contrast with the white shirt and her black jacket was stunning! JANE was wearing jeans, black boots and a delicate, absolutely amazing necklace. ENID, of course, looked fabulous, as always.
	Enid doesn't use her computer, so this was the first time she was seeing the prints that Paul Fraser was kind enough to send.  I don't know who the artist is, but he/she is just brilliant! (In pics below) That's my Sharpie marker I bought yesterday just for this occasion.  It mysteriously disappeared (which means JANE has it.) JANE did not reveal ONE SINGLE THING about this season, but she did tell me that the writers have gone over the top and all out, and that this season is going to be amazing! I CAN'T WAIT! Thanks Jane, Alice and Enid!

NEW - 09/17/10 - ROCKWiRED RADiO PROFiLES PRESENTS: SCiENCE FiCTiON ViXEN JANE BADLER AND HER FORTHCOMiNG RELEASE 'TEARS AGAiN'

LiSTEN TO THE EXCLUSiVE iNTERViEW WiTH JANE BADLER HERE!!!

Actress-turned-singer-turned-actress JANE BADLER will no doubt go down in television history for providing the medium with one of its most bizarre moments - the swallowing of a whole guinea pig. As DIANA - the leader of an alien regime that has taken over the world with the aim of harvesting its human inhabitants for food - BADLER created one of Sci-Fi's most memorable villians in the mini-series V. Years after the cancellation of V: THE SERIES, JANE stayed afloat with numerous television roles (FALCON CREST, THE NEW MISSION IMPOSSIBLE) before setting her sights on marriage and life down under (she's even got an accent now!). When I first became acquainted with JANE BADLER, it was 2008 and she had just released her debut CD THE DEVIL HAS MY DOUBLE with the help of the Australian cult band SIR (fronted by JESSE JACKSON SHEPHERD). Two years later, JANE and SIR are back with TEARS AGAIN - a spunky, delectable romp through that disaster area that we call romantic relationships. BADLER's forked tongue is permanently planted in cheek with such playful gems as WRONG PEOPLE and FOUR CORNERS. Just when you think that life couldn't get any more exciting for BADLER it's been announced that the Lizard Queen will be making a most welcome return to American network television and to the very franchise that made her famous as MORENA BACCARIN's mother DIANA in the second season of ABC's re-imagining of V.

NEW - 06/04/10 - Hung out with JANE BADLER's mom, Enid, and baby KJ June 1, 2010!

 

NEW - 05/05/10 JANE BADLER sent me this exclusive pic of her holding up the "V" fingers!  Sent from her iPhone direct from Australia! NOTE: Today is her mom, Enid's, birthday! Thank you, Jane!  We love you forever!

 NEW - 03/31/10 - Ilana conducted an intense interview with JANE BADLER using YOUR questions!  JANE answers the fans!

1. I heard that you were very involved in charitable work - hosting and planning events to raise money. I thought I had read a long time ago that
around the time you were filming "V" you played in tennis tournaments to raise money for missing children. I would love to know more about that.
JB: I have been very fortunate in my life and if I can help out I usually say yes with my time or to use my home for events.  Recently I raised money for a ballet company and I am on the board of a theatre company.

2. You had such sexual energy with all your costars. We know that was part of DIANA's M.O. but was any of that real from Jane? Like Diana, do you or
did you ever have sexual desires that crossed both genders? And did you ever act on them?
JB: When I did Diana I was  young and single so hopefully I had lots of sexual energy.  I enjoy having a friction with my co-star as it makes it a lot more fun.   Unfortunately, even with the best intentions you don't always find your love interest sexy.  I think women are beautiful and gorgeous to look at but I have always been very male oriented, although, there have been times when women seemed an easier option.

3. I read a post on your sister's myspace page a while ago about when you and her were younger. She said that when the two of you where in elementary school you each kept a list of naughty words. When you would get into an argument and started calling each other name's you would each pull out your lists so you could spew the nasty words out to each other quicker. She said that it was like a race to see who could call each other name's faster and eventually you would both be rolling on the fall laughing from it and forgot what even started the argument. Is that really a true story?
JB: Hmmm... I can't remember any of that.  I think most of my child hood is a big blur.

4. It was reported back in the 80's that you had a constant battle with your weight. In watching V:TO, V:TFB, and V:TS, you appear to be at different
weights throughout. You look great now, so for all fans out there who battle the bulge, how did you finally lose the weight and keep it off all these
years?
JB: Yes, I have always battled with my weight and found it very difficult to control my impulses.  For some reason, as I have gotten older, I have found ways to deal with it.  Also, when I get work I am far more disciplined -- probably because I am more settled in my private life.

5. You were born Jewish but reports now say you don't believe in God.  What is your take on religion?  Do you still consider yourself Jewish and if not,
do you practice religion at all?
JB: Yes, I consider myself Jewish even though I am not a practicing Jew. I would love to believe in god as it makes it all easier to take.  I am very spiritual in my life but it is very personal and not a group activity.

6. I am the mother of 3 children.  The oldest boy just turned 11.   Can you give any advice on how you handled the attitude of a preteen.
JB: Wow that is a big question.  My boys have always been very independent thinkers so as much as I have tried to control them they have done their own thing.  Pre-teen is a hard time because they are young but want to do more.  Good luck!  Glad you have passed through.

7. Was it hard to conceive your children since you were over 35 at the time? Did you have any medical help?
JB: No, very easy.

8.  What's the craziest sexual thing you've ever done?
JB: Hmmm...won't go there.

9.  I saw an interview with you back in the 80s that you would cry easily. Is this still the case?  What makes you cry?
JB: Yes I cry most days.  Anything and everything can make me cry; films , books --  the bitter sweet aspect of life, love, death, birth, great sex... ah the list goes on.

10.  What do you think about when you go to sleep at night?
JB: My character if I am working on a script.  Songs if I am writing music.  If I am performing and how great it feels to be in bed. 

11 Why haven't you marketed your music in America?  You have such a lovely voice.
JB: Soon to come is my new album.  It is going to be very exciting.

12.  What is your favorite country?  What's your favorite city?
JB: My favorite country is Australia and favorite Australian city is Melbourne.  In America, my favorite city is New York.

13. What is your favorite movie of all times?
JB: Hard to say.  I am very affected by Gone with the Wind and Doctor Zhivago. (Note from ilana: back in the day, Jane's favorite movie was actually called "Jane.")

14. Who is your favorite painter?
JB: Hmmm, that's hard, too, as I have many favorites.  I wouldn't mind owning a Lucien Frued.

15. If you could not sing or act again what other profession would you be interested in?
JB: I would love to be a dancer or a clothes designer.  I love fashion.

16. When will your new CD be ready?
JB: It will be finished the end of April and hopefully in shops by September.

17. Why did you move to Australia and basically give up your career? Did Hollywood burn you out? Did you dislike the United States?
JB: I never gave up my career -- I just changed course.  I fell in love so I left Los Angeles behind but I have never stopped acting, singing or producing.  Just not on a world scale.  Although I just landed a very juicy role on a show called "Neighbours" which is a big hit in the UK.

18.  Even though you're married now to a very handsome man, do you ever fantasize about being with others?
JB: Hmmm.  Best not to answer that but I will say I am very lucky to be married to my fantasy.

19. Were you scared when you were inside a casket in one of chapters of Falcon Crest?
JB: No, but I was scared when I had to dance with a huge boa constrictor in "Mission Impossible."

20. What's the scene of V you LOVED to play? With which actor? (Marc Singer etc.?)
JB: Hard to remember.  It was all a blast.

21. If  you hadn't got Diana's character to play, which character would you have loved to play in V?
JB: I would love to be in "Mad Men."  Any part but mostly the red head secretary. I love her.

22. What do your kids say when they see you as Diana on the screens? What does your mother say?
JB: They laugh at the big frizzy hair but their friends say I look very pretty.  I Don't think they are overly impressed with any of it.

23. In the new "V," would you prefer revisiting the Diana character or to play a different role, whether as a Visitor (bad- perhaps Anna's mother- or
Fifth Column), or a resistance fighter?
JB: It would be great to come back as Diana but it equally would be fun to come back as someone else.  I think the fans would be very disappointed if I came back as someone else.

24. I think I can speak for all your fans when I say, your portrayal of Diana as the very Mengela-inspired-evil-scientist had a rather profound
effect on me as a young boy. There was something deeply scary about her that quite frankly, the new V simply can't rise too (granted, the newer version
"Anna" is a different character but I'd say ultimately not as effective). My question. Knowing you were cast very late in the day, and knowing your role
in fact was a VERY small one compared to the presence Diana actually had, what were the subtlies you drew upon to flesh out her as a more complex
character, and not just a simple 2-dimension evil doctor. What was Kenny's original vision of this woman that you found easy/difficult/delicious to
sink your teeth into? Also, are you hopeful to return to her grand-conquering ways if/when KJ's V gets a motion picture treatment?
JB: Ah, well yes I did come into V late in the piece as they had already started shooting and hadn't been able to cast Diana.  So I had very little time to prepare.  I was very lucky because Ken Johnson knew exactly what he wanted and directed me to the nuance.  So definitely it was originally Ken's vision; I just took direction well.

25. What are your memories on Kenneth Johnson's V, V The Final Battle, V The Series?
JB: In the Original V I was nervous and excited and didn't have much contact with the rest of cast as I was doing The Doctors soap opera in New York.  I was flown out for my scenes and then back to New York.  I was probably only used about 5 days.  The next mini-series was much more demanding.  I had moved to LA at this point and it was a much larger role.  As for the series, well, it turned into a sci-fi soap opera much different than Ken's original vision, although I did have a lot of fun portraying Diana in all phases of V.  Hopefully she is not put to bed yet and will return.

26. What do you see in Anna as in your Character Diana and do how do you compare the two Vs today's: V and The Classic V Saga of the 80s?
JB: Hmmm. Well I think Anna has similarities and some differences.  Of course they are both very ambitious and by all means justify the ends.  I was probably more sexual than Anna in my pleasure gained from the sexual power.  Anna is more androgynous than Diana.  I love the way she is being portrayed in the new V.   Wonderful casting I am a big fan.

27. Do you wish to be in Ken Johnson's Sequel Film as Diana and provide the music for the film?
JB: I don't know much about what Ken's sequel film is about so it's hard to say if there is a place for me or an interesting role.  On the music front I would love to have my music used in the new V film if it is appropriate. I will definitely send Ken my new album when it comes out.

Jane finally got her iPhone and she let me play with it.  She has a heavy, red hard shell case on it.

Meanwhile, on Jan. 12th, one of my WB spies told me they thought they saw JANE walking on the WB lot into the writer's area where new showrunner Scott Rosenbaum has an office.  When I asked Jane, she zipped her lips.  Does this mean we may see Diana in the ABC "V" Series?!  My sources tell me nothing is confirmed.

NEW - 09/11/09 - Too much excitement!  Today I had lunch with the beautiful Badler Sisters (JANE & ALICE) AND their incredible mom, ENID!  As a wonderful surprise to me, JANE called KEN JOHNSON and let me speak with him!
 

Reminder: Tonight JANE is having her radio debut! This is a radio station in New Hampshire called Black Night Meditations. They do all sorts of interesting music.  There will be an entire hour devoted to Jane and her music on Sept. 11th 7-8 p,m. EST.  They will play her music and she will be doing a phone interview with them as well.  The radio station has live-stream via the internet and so anyone from around the world can listen live. They will also be posting the interview online for people to listen to at a later time. JANE BADLER, ILANA, ALICE BADLER Lunch, Friday Sept. 11, 2009

 I arrived at the lunch rendezvous spot for the 12 noon Lunch gathering with JANE BADLER, ALICE BADLER and their lovely mom, ENID!  The ladies were already waiting for me.  The second I walked through the door, I was greeted by the biggest, warmest smiles anyone could ever ask for!

Words cannot describe how stunning the Badler Sisters are. And it's no doubt, since mom Enid is also just as beautiful! ENID BADLER Lunch, Friday Sept. 11, 2009

Jane handed me a bag which contained an exquisite large handbag that has a lizard print.  Jane told me it's a gift from her mom.  Enid chimed in, "It's big enough for you to schlep whatever you need for the kids!"  Enid also bought Alice the same bag but in brown. 

Enid was super hungry by the time all of the hello's were done, so we headed into the dining area.  It was buffet style, so Enid went up first while Jane, Alice and I unloaded our stuff and figured out who's sitting where.  Enid came back with grilled chicken and salad.  Then Jane and Alice went up while I kept Enid company.  The girls both came back with salad.  Jane had a small can of Ginger Ale.  And finally, I went up and got a fruit salad and a V-8 (to keep my energy level high so I wouldn't faint!)

Naturally, we talked about the new "V."  Then we talked about the old "V."  It was just pure heaven for me!  Jane took out pictures of her sons, now 18 and 16.  Absolutely gorgeous.  During lunch, she received an email on her Nokia phone from the boys asking how Grandma (Enid) is doing.  Jane is going to be getting an iPhone.

Jane decided to call KEN JOHNSON and the next thing I know, Jane hands me the phone!  Ken and I did small chat stuff, nothing really about "V" (mainly because I couldn't believe I was actually on the phone with KJ himself!)  KJ laughed at my dumb jokes and it was just sooooo good to hear his cheerful voice!

Alice took a picture of Jane talking to Kenny as Jane's walking toward me to hand me the phone. (Alice, you ROCK!)

Nothing, of course, would be complete if we didn't call BRIAN TOSKO, President of The Jane Badler Society!  Luckily, he answered and Jane, Alice AND Enid all spoke with him!

In between everything going on, Jane was typing on her phone making appointments for whatever.

Meanwhile, the Badler Women were chatting and laughing the entire time.  It was genuinely a fantastic 3 hours!  Thank you so much for including me in your wonderful weekend, JANE, ALICE and ENID! - xo ilana

NEW - 08/13/09 - Ilana interviews JANE BADLER!  Thanks, Jane!

IR: It would be amazing to see you in the new "V."  Have you and the producers discussed you coming back as "Diana" or another character?
JB: I have talked to Jace Hall in a very casual way about the possibility of returning but nothing was confirmed.
Obviously the producers are thinking about bringing back some of the original characters but with integrity and purpose.  Anyway, all very exciting and of course i would be thrilled to be part of the new series.

IR: Filming is in Vancouver, Canada.  Have you ever been there before?
JB: No, I have never been to Vancouver.

IR: The fans would scream with delight if they brought you back as "Diana" and there's a Guinea Pig eating scene.  Technology today is very different from back then, and we all know how squeamish in real life you are regarding rodents and insects -- would you be willing to "re-live" that scene in the new "V?"
JB: Hmmm.  I suppose it depends on how it was presented.

IR: If brought back as a new character, her name should be "ilana."  What do you think?
JB: Well, Miss Ilana.  We all do love you and  would love to see you immortalized so why not.

IR: Tell us about your new CD and movie, both which are about to be released.

NEW - 02/24/02 - Heard from JANE BADLER! She has a friend who has written a short satire with very over-the-top characters and songs.  They're working together to get it off the ground.

November 27, 1987. Jane Badler's first sci-fi convention which was held at the then called Penta Hotel on 33rd Street and 7th Avenue in New York City. I'll never forget receiving the flyer that she was going to be in town.

As the President of the Quad V Fan Club, I had no choice but to get an interview with her, so I had pre-arranged it with her acting agent. Sure enough, he asked her and she said she would do it. You can just imagine what my heart did (skipped MORE than a few beats!) when I found out the answer!

Next directive: To meet up with Brian Tosko, head of the Jane Badler Society in Arizona. He, along with everyone else who was a MAJOR "V" fan, was flying into NYC for Jane's appearance. It wasn't hard to spot Brian on the LONG line that went out the door to get tickets for the convention, since he sent me a picture.

As soon as all of my friends and I (this included Patrick, my "V" partner in crime and everything), got our tickets, we zoomed on into the huge area where Jane was going to speak to get our seats. Then it happened. They announced that it was time for "Diana" to enter! She walked in from the back of the room, all smiling and looking great! She was in her favorite color, black. When she got on stage, she mentioned how she couldn't believe how packed the place was and that she thought there were going to be like 10 people. In actuality, it was standing room only!

She answered many questions from all the fans and cracked quite a few good jokes. However, she did prove the point that the fans sometimes (in most cases!) know more than the actors themselves. She didn't remember she kissed Jeff Yagher (the "real" episode 3) and some other things such as eating a guinea pig, not a rat in V:TO. All in all, her performance was outstanding, and she handled herself very well. She mentioned how she hated doing all the running around like getting shot in the first series episode...they give you a "detonator" to press when you hear the "bullet" sound and one time it went off without her pressing it. She told us how she became very good friends with Marc Singer and how she played tennis all the time with June Chadwick. And, she told us her fiance was standing in the back of the room. Soon after the marriage, they got divorced. I knew it was coming.

After the Q&A portion, she signed autographs. Some people were dressed in uniform, which she complimented. Others just asked her to sign pictures and the Diana poster that had just come out, and some just stood around taking pictures and videos. About an hour later the line died down, and I went up to her and introduced myself as the one she's supposed to have the interview with. She smiled and asked the convention man to give us a room. They put us in a meeting room with one chair, so Jane sat in the chair while Patrick, Brian, my brother (the photographer), and I sat on the floor.

The interview went quite well and I put it in the Quad V newsletter. During the interview, her fiancé walked in. Patrick, Brian, and I didn't see this, however my brother who was looking through the camera, saw her fiancé mouth to her "Let's GO already!" After my brother told us this (later on), I knew the marriage wasn't going to last. It was obvious he couldn't handle her fame. Jane, on the other hand, was one of the sweetest people you could ever meet!

After Jane left, we all collapsed from super-high adrenaline rushes which just wouldn't stop! Brian had earlier found out what floor the convention guests stay on, and later that evening we saw Jane and her fiancé walking in with a few bags from Macy's (which is right next to the hotel).

Later on Brian put me in touch with Jane's mom, Enid. We became good friends, I visited her in Fla at the spa she owned, and she kept me up-to-date with minute details about Jane. Jane flew off to Australia to tape the Mission Impossible series. It was there that she met Stephen. He swept her off her feet, and Jane never came back to the U.S.! She sold her condo in Calif and, to this day, is still happily married to Steve. They have two little boys, Sammy and Harry, who are growing up with that sexy Australian accent! Currently, Jane is on vacation and will be working on a theater project after April, 1998. Details to come as known!

A few years ago, Jane flew in to visit her mom. She was staying at a very posh hotel in NYC, and Enid invited me to go with her to see her daughter! Hence, my second meeting with Jane. She had just come back from shopping and was showing off her new belt. Her sister had bought her a leather jacket for her birthday, so she tried that on too. With her boots, and the jacket and belt, and as usual, wearing black, she looked like a biker chick! She asked me all about myself, and signed as many autographs for my friends as I wanted. (Luckily years before Enid had given me a lot of press pictures so I brought them along).

And hence, you have the shortened stories of when I met Jane Badler. If anyone is interested in a copy of the video tape from her convention appearance, please email me at: lizard.lady@mindpulse.com.

Updated 3/12/99

What's it like knowing a week in advance you're going to have lunch with Jane Badler?  IT'S TERRIFYING!

When I got the phone call that Jane was going to be visiting the States and asked if I would have lunch with her, I dropped the phone.  Hahah very funny--someone's playing a prank.  Then reality set in, but since I was now frozen in space, the phone was still on the floor.  "Hello?    Hello?!"  Finally I got back on the phone and said (what do you think I said?!) YES!  THANK YOU Zon YES!  (in my head of course).  The date was set for March 1st. 

All week my mind was racing, knowing that in 7 days I'll be hanging out with Jane.  Since Jane was so nice as to autograph a bunch of pictures for me last year, I gathered up the cash and went to a professional photo lab to have 30 more made up...figured I'll bring them along just in case she wants to sign some more (if you don't already have one, email me for the price/shipping).

Monday March 1st.  Turned out Enid, Jane's mom, was there too!  Well, Jane *was* gathering up her family for one big visit so that made sense.  Luckily for me I brought along my friend Lisa to hold me up.  Enid was the one holding ME up while Lisa and Jane had a normal conversation!   And it goes like this...

*JUST* as Lisa and I are walking into the restaurant, my beeper goes off.  Work's calling me urgent (yes of course I called out sick).  So we're walking into the lobby and while I'm on the phone I see Enid and Jane talking to someone else who was there...they were waiting for us in the lobby!!!   Enid gave Lisa a BIG HUG and Jane turned around and saw me and got this huge smile on her face.  I hung up ON work and gave Enid and Jane a big, bone-crushing hug (meanwhile, I'm dying).  Small words were exchanged (which of course I don't remember cuz I was hyperventilating) so I grabbed onto Enid's arm so she could help me stay steady as we walked into the restaurant.

Jane was wearing black pants and a black & white sweater... her favorite colors.  She had a weird accent!  It wasn't completely Australian, but it wasn't American either!  At times it sounded like she was using her old Brooklynese...but NOT.  Finally, I started calming down and made fun of her accent.  I had to.  I couldn't help it!

Enid, as usual, looked lovely, wearing all black as well!  We were all going over what there was to eat, but I was so hungry (or so nervous?) that I just jumped up and said "Let's go let's go!"  We all took Salad bar!  That was easy!

Back at the table, some cool chatter happened.  Jane was in California getting a massage (at a spa with one of her old friends), and all the masseuse kept talking about was Y2K stuff.  Here Jane is trying to relax and enjoy herself, and this girl is going on and on.  So since Lisa and I are computer people, she asked us about Y2K.  She even called her husband and said "Oh my!  Are we Y2K compliant?!" and Stephen said, "Hun, where've you been?"  :)  (Jane doesn't use a computer yet--she's actually GOT a life!)

The story before Y2K, Jane told us a very cute one!  In the LA airport she saw this guy.  Everyone was passing by him saying "Great show, great show."  He looked "vaguely" familiar and then it hit her!  It was BILLY from Ally McBeal!  Jane had just watched her first episode of Ally the previous week, so talk about a run-in!  So she ran up to him and started talking to him!  (as Jane is telling us this story, her whole face lit up).  She told him how great an actor she thinks he is, etc etc. and then she told ME that *now* she knows how *I* feel when I meet a "V" actor-- starstruck!.    Jane and Billy both had first class tickets, but someone else was sitting next to Billy.  However, they saw that Jane just *had* to talk to him so they offered to switch seats with her, which of course she accepted!  So she was talking to Billy the whole time on the airplane!  She told him she was in "V" and he said he remembered that show, and Enid, with a sly grin, said, "Yeah, when he was 3 years old!"  Hahahaha!  Did Jane mention anything about Billy's lips?  *MY* lips are sealed.  (no they didn't kiss, she's married for crying out loud!)

Jane also mentioned to Billy that she was looking for a new project to work on and he said, "How about that play called Sweet Bird of Youth?"  It's about this older woman who tries to seduce a younger man.  She LOVED the idea and will be looking into doing this play!  Producing it as well, so let's all cross our fingers!  News to follow when this happens so you Australians--keep watching my web site!

Jane went on to say how she just had a pool built (saw pictures of Stephen at the pool), the kids are doing great, etc.  She asked some more details about the computer work Lisa and I do, so I asked Lisa to tell her since I was still freaking out. (I *think* I totally covered all my freaking out up though!)

While we're eating, an older lady came over.  She heard that Jane was going to be at the restaurant and asked for her autograph.  So, I pulled out one of my 30 pictures and gave it to Jane for her to sign to her.  They exchanged a few sweet words, and then she left.  A little while later, a gentleman walked over and said to Jane, "You look familiar."   So, I whipped out one of my 29-left pictures and gave it to Jane for her to sign.

Jane handled the fans very well!   She actually acted very "shy" and low-key.  *I* actually blushed!   I mean, here I was sitting at lunch with Jane Badler and these "fans" must've thought I was some bigwig or something.  Of course, none of them noticed I was there since they were too busy looking at Jane.

"This lunch is pretty good!" Jane exclaimed as she was finishing up her salad!  I still had almost a whole plate left...since it was hard for me to eat.  But I do love those baby corns!  Jane said in her cool accent, "Ilana, do you want me to sign some pictures?"   GRIN.  So I took out my remainding 28 and she signed ALL OF THEM!  I told her how Faye Grant signed an autograph to me as "To my Favorite Pest" so Jane signed one to me as "To the best pest!"  Hahaha!  Some down-under humor! 

For those of you who sent fan mail to me for Jane, SHE READ EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM right there while I watched!

This entire lunch thing lasted for THREE and a HALF HOURS!!!  Jane said she would send me some more pictures, like Mission Impossible ones and other "V" ones.  All signed!  But for now, I have these, so if you're interested in one/some, email me at lizard.lady@mindpulse.com

All of us were too full for dessert so we skipped that!  Then Jane asked me what some of the other "V" actors were up to, like June Chadwick, Faye Grant, Marc Singer, and even Ken Johnson!  She asked me to get her June's # and Ken's, which I did.  They both called her back while she was still here!  She had a *wonderful* conversation with June.  June (as we all know) was married to Wayne Crawford and was working on his movies in Africa.  Turns out they're now DIVORCED and she's going out with an older gentlman who's in the business.   They were in Las Vegas at an entertainment shingdig!  June and Jane kept missing each other, so finally June gave Jane her mobile number and they connected!

Jane also asked me for the phone # of her college roommate!  So I gave that to her.  It felt really cool that Jane was asking me for all this stuff and I was able to give her the info.  She spoke to her roommate too, who has 2 daughters.

Conversation with Ken?  Didn't hear much details, but it didn't involve "V" .  Did I talk to Jane about doing another "V?"  Nope.  We all know she would from previous interviews.

Let me tell you, Jane is still the wonderful person that she the other couple of times I met with her.  She's so caring, and really took an interest in everything I had to say.  And she looked *GREAT*!   It's amazing how she can still look like Diana even after all these years!   With her accent, though, I didn't think of her as Diana at all, just as Jane :) .   When I asked her if I could take a photo, she said "yes".  I expected her to say no so just to make sure I heard her right I said, "Huh?" and she said "Yes!"  Photo will be posted when I use out the rest of the role.

And Enid, well, there's not a sweeter person on this planet!  I love you Enid!
