I really liked this little article on Guin at the philly
film fest, because of her quote!
Taken
from gay city news, August 12 - 18, 2004.
Lesbian
writer/director GUINEVERE TURNER was also bestowed with
an Artistic Achievement Award. A lesbian icon since "Go
Fish," Turner's recent projects include writing HBO's
"The Ballad of Bettie Page" starring GRETCHEN
MOL, and
"Bloodrayne," a horror film based on a videogame
series, a monster movie with her "Stray Dogs"
director CATHERINE CROUCH, and writing and acting on "The
L-Word." The always delightful, good-humored Turner
admitted that she originally hoped to star in longtime
passion project "Bettie Page," but abstained
from dishing too much about "L-Word."
"If
I say something it always somehow ends up on the Internet!"
she said.
(Yup!
lol ;op)
