Brian: You have a photo/piece in
the December 1999 issue of the original (and
greatly lamented) 'Femme Fatales'
that is fabulous. As an experienced, highly
sought after model, do you have a favorite layout
or photo experience?
Kelly: I have been
lucky to do several types of shoots in so many
different genres. I wanted to break the mold of
just staying in one arena (i.e. swimsuit, fetish,
nudity, bondage, gothic etc.) I love the whole
energy on a set. I really don't have one favorite
layout. But I look at them all and it's weird to
know that's me.
Brian: I imagine that you are best known for playing
"Debbie" on two episodes of the wildly
popular 'Sopranos'. What are
your memories about working on such an amazingly
popular production as that?
Kelly: When
I got the role I didn't realize the shows
popularity. I was always traveling and didn't
have time for TV. I heard of it but never knew
much of it. When I got the role the producer told
me to get ready for a lot of exposure. Yet I
still didn't realize. Honestly sometimes I don't
know if it's fully hit me yet. Everyone was great
to work with. - Very nice and down to earth. I
ate lunch with James Gandolfini and he actually
seemed shy to me but who knows. Mike Imperioli
was very friendly and I was giving him my opinion
on acting and training and he was a good sounding
board and had some good replies. I enjoyed it. I
would do it again in heart beat!
Brian:
You were photographed for a comic called
'The Raven' which sounded very
interesting. Did that project ever get off the
ground and if so how did the resulting comic turn
out?
Kelly: The
comic book came out and until you just reminded
me I haven't seen my copies! Sometimes it's hard
to remind people to send you stuff for your
portfolio!
Brian:
As a model for fantasy artist Yves Plateau what
has been the most outlandish thing that you have
been re-imagined as?
Kelly: Yves Plateau was the first artist but I have
worked with many across the US and
internationally. Ray Leaning from the UK just
released his book the "Muse" and I am
in that. As well as Dave Nestler! I'm in a few of
his pin up books. I love creativity and the
artists view of me whether a photographer or
artist! It all moves me and just gets me excited
and enthusiastic.
Brian:
After having appeared in two horror films,
'Jack Tripping' and 'Alone'
are there any particular roles or types of films
that you would love to tackle in the future?
Kelly:
I would love to do an action film. I really want
to be challenged. I would love to do a foreign
film especially in the UK. There is something
that draws me to British films. I did go to grade
school there as a child.
Brian:
Lastly, any future plans or words of wisdom that
you would like to leave us with?
Kelly:
I published a book a while ago available at www.barnesandnoble.com and www.amazon.com and I am currently
working on second book. My site is going to be
live this fall all types of memberships!
Brian: Cool,
Kelly. We'll look forward to that. Thanks so much
for taking the time to chat! |
