Myka Bering/Joanne Kelly Appreciation thread

[SunKrux]

It's no secret that I am a HUGE fan of Joanne's and that she is the reason I tuned it to the show. Thankfully I love the show as well. I'm loving her as Myka. I think Joanne is fabulously talented and brings a lot to Myka that I don't think any other actor could.

Hi.

Myka is my fave character in WH 13 and i was really happy to find this thread. so thanks for making it .

G.T.

[SunKrux]

YAY! Now there are 2 of us here. I was getting all sad and lonely.

[Gem of Tigress]

Well, i'm glad you don't have to feel all lonely!

G.T.

[SunKrux]

You won't have to feel all lonely either. Have you seen anything else that Joanne has been in?

[Gem of Tigress]

No I haven't, unfortunately

But i hope to.

[Gem of Tigress]

No I haven't, unfortunately

Oops

let me rephrase that, i don't think i have, but i may have and just not noticed

I was rewatching 'Castle' after WH13 started airing and noticed Joanne in 'Ghosts'. It didn't click until then as to where I had seen her before.

She was a a recurring character in the short-lived The Dresden Files as Bianca. She wasn't bad in it -- certainly made for a very hot vampire chick.

No worries. I totally understand.

Yeah, she was Lee Wax in that eps. Too bad she wasn't in it more.

She totally ROCKED as Bianca, imho.

She constantly looks like she's about to cry, and she looks like she might break every time she smiles.

But I like her just the same, the show wouldn't be the same if it weren't her and Eddie McClintock playing off each other

Oh yeah! She was good in that episode.

I happen to disagree with you. When she smiles her whole face lights up. That's one of the things I like most about Joanne. Very few people have that spark when they smile.

She and Eddie play very well off each other that's for sure.

I agree.

Hey gang, if you're on livejournal.com come join the fan community for Joanne Kelly - Joanne Kelly LJ Community (you must be a member to post to this comm).

My co-maintainer there found an article from this past weekend's Big Apple Comic Con that features a bit of an interview with Joanne.

Scroll down to almost the bottom. You'll see a pic of Joanne & Saul. I'd post the teeny bit of an interview here, but there is a swear word in it, so the filter would block it out. It's nothing horrible but I can't be bothered. It's a great little interview.

ETA: You can also follow the comm on Twitter - JKLJC on Twitter

Done

[Gem of Tigress]

Sweet.

[SunKrux]

For those of you not on live journal, here's a link to Joanne Kelly singing.

It's a scene from the movie Going the Distance she was in several years ago: (there is at least one swear word, so you have been warned)

Joanne's birthday is coming up (if the info on imdb is correct, it's the 22nd of this month) and want to wish her a happy birthday? Go here: JKLJC Birthday Donation post and click the "donate" button at the bottom of the post. She supports ASPCA and the donations will be going to that as a group. The donations are being collected through PayPal and then will be donated all at once through the ASPCA website in Joanne's honor.

If you're not a member of the Joanne Kelly Live Journal comm, you can still donate as this post is open to all. However, not sure if non- members can post a birthday wish as a comment. If you can't please send me a PM through GW and I'll add it to the card I'll be making to send to her. You have until the 16th to donate and send birthday wishes so the card can be mailed in time to reach her agents by or on her birthday.

Rule for posting/sending a birthday wish:
If you'd like to wish Joanne Happy Birthday, please do so in the comments (at the LJ comm if it will let you, if not pm me here at GW). Please keep it as short as possible (no longer than a paragraph or two anything longer and I'll edit the heck out of it). Also I reserve the right to edit anything inappropriate out (you know, like asking her personal questions).

Feel free to pass this on to other Joanne Fans you might know who don't surf here. Please do NOT mention it on the SyFy Warehouse 13 site or Facebook on the off chance that Joanne surfs either of those places.

Thanks! Any questions please PM me.

If you missed Joanne's Castle eps - Ghosts, it's on again in the US on ABC this Saturday night at 10 p.m. Eastern/Pacific.
