Listen we're never going to agree...
But it's just her opinion - and I can't see why any of you care whether she thought it was degrading or not.
The only reason I said anything is because I object to people calling someone they've never met a bitch.

I'm not sure about my own level of "caring." Maybe it's because I find that kind of interview distasteful, and I just have to vent? Mostly because I like words, writing, and acting in all ways like a condescending heathen.

Oh, I agree. I think one should have an intimate, day-to-day, personal knowledge of someone before making free to call that person a "bitch." Unless one is driving and one is cut off by a bitch with a cell-phone who doesn't signal, then slows down once she is in front of one. But perhaps I've said too much.....
Anyway, I don't take the opinions of others regarding various celebrities too seriously. It's probably because I agree so seldom with those opinions that I've had to harden myself to the....intransigency that true fandom (or the reverse, depending) induces.

Sorry, this is the room for contradictions, discussion threads is next door in 5B.
My point was, you raised "evidence" in support of your position that wasn't backed up by the facts. I'm not the biggest SMG fan either, but if I'm going to rail against her sense of revisionist history, I can hardly replace it with my own.

We need to remember that ultimately, she did fully as much for Joss Whedon (and the WB, for that matter) as he did for her.
No problem with what you say, and you raise a fair point in your final paragraph - but the fact is that whilst she had a right to say her opinion on what Buffy would or wouldn't do, Joss was and is the only one that can say what "Buffy" would do.
The actor breathes life into the words, the good actors lift them to a higher level still. But at the end of the day, the direction a character takes is down to the writer/creator - if they don't like the way the actor is taking a character, they can change it (save those cases where someone of the star power of Tom Cruise tells a writer to create a character. There, the writer creates the character the actor wants to play, or walks, or gets re-written).

Misguided, I am afraid you are..... You are evidently not reading what has been said about her. In the legal system there is something called a "preponderance of evidence." Just too many articles that all keep saying the same thing. If it was one or two, I would let it go. If she brought legal action against the magazine that misquoted her, I would take notice. But that isn't what I see.
You have yet to write anything that shows "evidence" that she is NOT arrogant or unprofessional." Show me the money!!!

I'm with you on that one. I have read some of the other posts and it seems to me like, that's what she signed on for. (speculation)I'm pretty sure the scenes were explained to her before hand. wouldn't she, as an actress have some pull over what the scene(s) looked like on screen? my point being, she must have known what she was getting into, and would have changed the scene if she didn't think it was crucial for the episode(S).

EDIT: I found a clip from SNL that seems more degrading than anything she did in "Buffy".
EDIT: I'm not sure why this posted twice.
