Tuesday night’s House had a guest star that looked very familiar to me, so this morning I looked her up. It’s Azura Skye.
On House, Skye played a young woman who believed she could talk to the dead. On Buffy, Skye played a young woman who could see the future, and knew the date of her own death. She then came back as a ghost (except it wasn’t really her, it was the First).
Psychic Dead Girl. I’m thinking that’s the most specific typecasting in television history.
That is quite a niche, but knowing the actress, she’s who I would cast. Remember Meg Foster? She ended up playing some crazies and ghosts. Or what was her name… Jo Allen, who kept playing women from past eras?
I remember Meg Foster very well. Her face sort of haunts me.
The other actress you’re thinking of is Jo Anderson. (I couldn’t remember the name either, but I knew Allen wasn’t right. I looked up “Beauty and the Beast” to find her.)
I remember Meg Foster very well. Her face sort of haunts me.
Me too. It’s the eyes. She has no pupils. It’s beautiful and scary.
Yeah her.
I love Jo Anderson. I would renounce men for her.
Or man, since I only have one of them.
Yeah, that was an element of her casting as well, as I recall.
I think only the one time, on Northern Exposure. It was amazing how she pulled off butch when she was such a delicate flower in other roles.
