Hi
Donna, thanks for chatting with us. Can you start
us off at Racks and Razors with a visual and
describe the room where you are answering these
questions?
Welcome. I am in my Living
room sitting on my oversize couch that's covered
in leopard print pillows with my two dogs by my
side. The CES convention is here in Las Vegas
over the weekend so not many of us locals go out
during this time; it's a zoo out there.
Why don't you
tell me about your new film in production
'Satan's Little Sister'?? I
didn't know he had any siblings.
What you
don't know won't hurt you... ha ha. 'Satan's
Little Sister' was a film I was cast as the lead
in. It was delayed a short while and I had
already made a prior commitment to Film in
Mississippi therefore; I was unable to do it.
That's too
bad. Give me a teaser for your 2008 film
'At the House of Madness' for
Steve Sessions.? Tell me something about your
work as Tracy on the film or about the film
itself that is going to make it irresistible to
all the Racks and Razors readers
'At the
House of Madness' is an "on the edge of your
seat, waiting to see what happens next
movie". From the moment I received the
script, I enveloped myself in Tracy's shoes
because it was so well written. It's always fun
to play a person who has two sides to their
personality...I'm not telling anymore...you have
to buy the movie to find out. ha ha. You can find
it on amazon.com under Catacomb of Creepshows. I
do have to add that Steve Sessions was a amazing
person to work with as well as my dear friend,
Luc Bernier. I look forward to working with them
again in the future.
You've worked
with Ted V. Mikels three times (on 'Demon
Haunt', 'Cauldron:
Baptism of Blood', 'Mark
of the Astro-Zombies'). What
makes working with him such a "fit" for
you?
Ha Ha.
Ted Mikels is a dear friend of mine; he is so
much fun to work with. As an actor, he lets you
have fun and experiment with your characters,
which is always a plus in this business. I have
developed a Worldwide fan base from working on
Ted's movies, its always such a "High"
when I receive letters from Italy, England,
etc... I am in talks with him now about working
on 'AZ M3' 'Cloned' playing the lead,
"Stefani DeMarco" whom is a descendant
of Dr. DeMarco in the original A Z. Stefanie has
inherited his bad genes. It will be great fun to
do this part that was portrayed by none other
than the late John Carradine.
Speaking of
'Mark of the Astro-Zombies' - it
also starred some amazing people like Tura
Satana, Liz Renay, and Brinke Stevens.? Any good
tales or anecdotes about any of the above three
you would care to share?
It was a
great honor to do filming with these women. Tura
Satana is a legend in her own league.
I also want to
hear a little about 2007's
'Sludge' with Tiffany Shepis and
Felissa Rose.
'Sludge'
has been re-named 'Shadow of Death' , which was
filmed in the hills of Los Angeles (where the
production resided). Steven Taylor was so great
to work with, he is such a motivated person. Joe
Castro whom did the special effects is in my
opinion one of the most underrated people in
Hollywood. This movie I actually got to have my
head bit off (for the first time). It took me a
couple of days and lots of hot tea to get my
vocal chord's back to normal. During the filming,
I got chills up my spine by the scenes being
filmed, it's going to rock!
Do you have
any other upcoming projects you would like to let
the Racks and Razors readers know about?
Of
course, 'Despair' is a short story written by my
close friend, Kelli Garni, it is a short movie
about two people estranged from society that find
friendship in each other. It has great bands by
the name of Lynzee (out of southern California)
along with Kelli Rhodes (out of southern
California) as well as Random Eye from right here
in sin city that are doing the music and sound
track for. It's a very dark moving story and will
be available on Amazon.com summer of 09. Also I
have been filming with Regan Redding on a movie,
'Killer Biker Chicks'. He is a fan of the old
Russ Meyers movies and films on that genre which
is wonderful. I had to learn to ride a
motorcycle, and do a Burlesque Fan Dance for that
movie, which I thoroughly enjoyed. That movie
should be wrapping soon. I am considering a
couple other movies at this moment, just not sure
If I can schedule them in order to do all of
them.What was the
first movie to scare the shit out of you?
'The
Entity' ...and to this day I still haven't made
it through any of 'The Exorcist' movies...
Back in the
late 50s they had the series of movies 'I
Was a Teenage Werewolf' and
'I Was a Teenage Frankenstein'.?
If they were to make a movie about Donna
Hamblin's teenage years it would be called
'I was a Teenage ___________________' because..........
I was a
teenage restrained mountain girl being held
captive. Because.....I grew up in a small town
with mountains and just wanted to get out and
experience life at its most... (Which I have).
Okay, we're
pulling the car into the Donna Hamblin Drive In.?
Which three favorite horror movies are going to
be on the triple bill for tonight and what
goodies are they going to be serving up at the
concession stand?
The
movies being shown are,,,
1- Steven Kings 'IT' ...that movie scared the
hell out of me. 2- 'A Nightmare on Elm Street'. I
couldn't sleep for nights after watching that
one. 3- And the latest 'War of the Worlds' movie.
At the concession stand you will find a Martini
bar, a Juice bar, and at the fountain you can be
served, type A, B, and O positive blood. (in
small med and large of course..) And of course a
chocolate fountain in the middle where you can
just put your mouth under and let the melted
chocolate pour in and down to your tummy...yummy.
You will catch me in there watching the
congregation of different personality's for my
own entertainment.
So what are
the best and the worst things about living in Las
Vegas?
The best
thing about living in Las Vegas is, It is a
twenty-four hour town. So the fun never ends. The
worst thing is that Las Vegas is a twenty-four
hour town, and you do get tired once in a while.What scares
you in real life?
I am
petrified of the Dark.....
