July 20, 2009Channel Guide Contributor7 Questions With..., Magazine ArchiveComments Off on 8 Questions With … Christina Moore
1. What has been your strangest fan encounter?
Christina Moore: I had one woman come up to me at Disneyland and tell me how awful I was [confusing Moore with her 90210 character, Tracy Clark]. “You’re flirting with that married man and you’d better watch it.”
2. You’re at a magazine rack and can pick three magazines. What are they?
Oprah. Always Oprah. You can read every single page of that thing; it’s crazy. InStyle. And then one of the rag mags—an OK! or an Us Weekly or a People. Something gossipy.
3. When was the last time you were starstruck?
At our first table read of the [HawthoRNe] pilot, I was seated next to Jada [Pinkett Smith] and on the other side of Jada was Will Smith. And we were at the head of the table. I honestly thought, this three shot—why do I not have a camera?
4. If your TV only carried three shows, which three would you want?
Well, I’m crazy about The Tudors. … The Wire. … Then it’s a tossup. I might go Grey’s Anatomy. I might go The Shield —The Shield was so yummy. Then I might go Criminal Minds because I love me a serial killer. I’m going to go Criminal Minds.
5. When was the last time you felt like crying?
I think it was when [Barack] Obama was elected president. It was the night when they were rolling out the states. That whole day felt surreal to me. … I remember standing in my kitchen and crying and I was thinking, “It’s going to happen.”
6. What is your favorite condiment?
There’s something about real mayonnaise — like a mayonnaise and bologna sandwich on Wonder Bread. My next-door neighbor when I was a kid had a grandma who lived in the basem*nt, and I thought I had died and gone to heaven when she fried the bologna, put the mayonnaise on it and then a piece of Wonder Bread. I went home to my mom [and said], “We have got to get on what [they] are doing next door.”
7. If you could play one role, past or present, what would it be?
I would want to play Jessica Lange’s role in Tootsie. She’s just stunning. When I think of great roles and great roles for women, I kind of always lean toward something she’s done. I don’t have the chops that she has, I’m going to be honest, but Tootsie— there was something so tender and sweet about her, and just so real and so reachable. I loved it.
8. In a tag team wrestling match, who would win —the two Laurie Formans from That ’70s Show [Moore and Lisa Robin Kelly] or the two Becky Conners from Roseanne [Alicia Goranson and Sarah Chalke]?
The two Beckys would win because only one Laurie would show up. … That was the only reason that I ever got to be Laurie, because [Kelly] wandered off into the woods somewhere. I think I could take Sarah Chalke—I’m actually very good friends with her. I think I could take her because she’s really skinny, but two against one? I know I’d be the only one there, in a pair of short shorts and high heels. It would be trouble.
Moore plays Candy Sullivan, a nurse with a “unique sense of duty,” on the TNT (HD) drama HawthoRNe, airing Tuesdays.

The late ’90s saw a glut of mostly forgettable teen movies come and go at the multiplex, but 1999’s 10 Things I Hate About You managed to stand out.

And while those other teen flicks gather dust, 10 Things has been granted new life as a TV series. Coming to ABC Family beginning July 7, the plot of the half-hour comedy is essentially the same as the film: Sisters Kat and Bianca adjust to life at Padua […]
