So yes, i’m obsessed and i understand you.

Just kidding - Anyhow, thanks for the great story! In a year or two, I might be movie down to Georgia and if I do I’ll be closer to Dragon Con… just thought I’d point that out.

Thanks for your story I really enjoyed it!

This was awesome to read. I like seeing how people react to stars, the study of celebrity crushes and stuff is something that’s always mystified me. I think I wish I was working in Directing just so I could sometimes work with really talented people even though I’m no actor myself. But it’s just a great article.

I know I’ve said this before but it bears repeating in light of this lovely article - I met Summer Glau during Dragon-Con ‘06. It was quite a long line to meet her, but I got to shake her hand, and as a matter of fact, I got that very same picture you showed at the bottom of this article autographed by her. (She had 5 pics to choose from but that was by far the sexiest. My roommate was too shy to choose it but I knew which one I wanted signed!)

She was very, very shy, and that threw me. Beside her, Alan Tudyk (Wash) was much more outgoing, though he was clearly exhausted - I finished the line at 4pm and I think he’d been at it since 8. I didn’t take up too much of his time, but he was a nice guy, very charming. Summer, on the other hand, was reserved, shy. She shook my hand with a somewhat sweaty palm (not that I minded), and asked who I was. I complimented on her work on The 4400, which I’d just finished watching at that time and had stuck in my mind as a very intersting character for her. (She was a mind-control type person and was very controlling, more confident than River Tam) She thanked me profusely, I think for just knowing that she wasn’t “River Tam” and limited to Serenity. She smiled shyly for my camera (I asked her to smile - my coworker actually wanted his picture taken with her, and he put his arm around her, and she jumped like a cricket - he took his hand away from her shoulder) and that was about it.

She was stunning in person, but also, very frail. I am 100% certain she’s worked out for Terminator, also maybe filled out naturally somewhat, but she was verrrry delicate. She reminded me of one of those glass flowers you see at glass shops, lovely, just don’t drop her.

Nowadays, she seems much happier, much more in control of her life. Maybe she’s out of debt and has a house or maybe she finally has a boyfriend (or girlfriend!) I don’t know, but her pictures nowadays seem so much more vibrant than that day. Or maybe she was just having a bad day that day, I dunno.

I like her new confidence. I think she will continue to rock the acting scene as long as producers and directors let her.

I thank you for your article again and hope you liked my contribution. This is shaping up really well, Phil
