Questions to Terry Farrell

[rhubarbodendron]

Next Saturday (March 18th) Terry Farrell will be the star at a small convention in my town. It's a comperatively intimate affair: usually, there are only about 40-60 fans vs 1 guest for a whole evening, so there's plenty of opportunity to ask all sorts of questions.

Do you have any questions for Terry? If so, please post them here. I'll ask as many of them at the con as possible and post her replies here on Monday March 20est.
If possible, please don't ask stuff she's already been asked in interviews before because we all can read up those answers online and it'd be a pity to waste the precious time.

Terry. It's more respectful to her if you spell her name properly.

 

[rhubarbodendron]

I stand corrected. As I've repeatedly seen her name spelled like that, I was under the impression she deliberately chose the spelling with an i to distinguish her from the architect Terry Farrell.

But hey, that triggers the first question that certainly never has been asked in an interview before: shouldn't it actually be Terree (or Theree, even), since it's supposed to be a contraction [in the linguistic sense] of Theresa Lee?
Thanks for the inspiration, Six of Twelve!

I've never seen it spelled "Terri". And don't even ask about "Terree" or Theree". It's Theresa or Terry...period. I wouldn't be surprised if it never occurred to her, especially if she always had gone as Terry since a tender age, without hearing those two...variants.

Would you ask Shatner about being called "Willie" or Koeing "Wally"? No

Man, who organized that con? I'd love to do something like that.

FKM Events in Germany. They also do cons in the Czech Republic and afaik occasionally in GB.

I would like to know how she felt about the emphasis placed on the worm vis-a-vis the woman, and if she thought Jadzia needed more of her own background.

What did she think about the Worf relationship? Did she think it worked? Did she have any expectations of where the show or her character would go vs. what actually happened? I'm sure she's probably been asked all of these, but I've never seen her in person.

To me, some of the cast just loosened up and became more fun to watch at the beginning of the season when Worf was brought in. I doubt he had anything to do with that directly, but it was just (for me) an interesting shift in the series. Was there some new direction, specifically for Terry and some of the other cast? Kira seemed a little calmer. Bashir was a lot more chill. Terry just seemed more comfortable and believable as an old man in a woman's body.

IT WAS THE GOAT!

There are always lost pitches and writers ideas. I'd ask: "Was your favorite idea for an episode or scene that never made it to the show?"

That's how my sister spells her name. Although "Terry" is more common, "Terri" is also not a rare variant for a woman.

Im talking about the actress herself. I know a couple Terries in RL

Sorry - misread your post. I thought you were speaking more generally.

I have had the pleasure of working with Both Terry and her son Max this past Summer. She is amazing person.

 

[Danlav05]

It's great after all these years to see Terry back in the fold. Still looks very much the same too

And yes @Tom she was great in Requiem 1!

I did a walk around video with my iPhone, talked to terry and her son (who was in alien makeup) during part of it.

I'd still like to know why she didn't want to be on DS9 for its last season... however, she probably won't answer that and it would be treated like the elephant in the room that people don't acknowledge...

She was cast in the show called "Becker".

No, she got that gig only AFTER negotiations over her contract for DS9 broke down with Rick Berman and Paramount.
