“When Marilyn [Monroe] went to Korea, she didn’t go as a movie star – you know, the Bob Hope publicity route. Hope was known, in Korea and Vietnam, to fly off the moment his show was over and the cameras stopped rolling, and he wouldn’t venture near the dangerous areas. Unlike Marilyn. She stayed after each and every show to chat with the soldiers, sign autographs, have pictures taken, plus she went to the front lines, near the combat zones. She could have chosen the easy route, with the big cities and the southern cities, but she didn’t. Marilyn was a trooper…she had a heart.” - Jerry Orbach, G.I Corp. (1954)

It was bound to happen eventually, and the fact that I started watching Angel last night pretty much sealed the deal. You see, my buddy @whoiwanttoday really hooked me up with a special playlist that allows me to watch Buffy and Angel in the order they originally happened, which is honestly really pretty cool. It kinda feels like spin-offs usually happen after the original show has finished, as opposed to while it's still going on, so I'm liking how the two shows connect and overlap. Anyways, he's a big Cordelia fan, and she has definitely grown on me, and I think it's pretty cool that Cordelia is one of the main characters on Angel. I've come to quite adore the character, actually. She's kinda awesome because on the one hand she's really quite shallow, and the issue with shallow characters is that they're often played quite one-dimensionally—as tho their shallowness applies to everything. What's great about Cordelia is that she is in fact rather shallow, but she's lots of other things, and just because a person is shallow, doesn't mean that's their only defining characteristic. Charisma Carpenter actually brings a lot of depth to the shallowness, which sounds like something that would be difficult to do‚ and it probably is, so she's clearly a pretty darn good actor. She's also very pretty, which never hurts. Yep, I'm a fan. Hold back your I-told-you-sos ;) Today's girlcrushart guardian is Charisma Carpenter.
