Dear AliciaLeigh,
What is the tattoo on your lower back? Does it have any special meaning or personal significance?
Mary Ellerman |
Dear Mary Ellerman,
The original tattoo that I got was just a design that I got when I was living in New York. I had just turned 21, and I wanted to get something that marked that time in my life. I had booked a job on ANOTHER WORLD, and I felt more independent than ever. About a year later, I realized that I didn’t like the design. I found this guy who was a really good artist, and I had him add some pretty colors and flowers and the Japanese symbol for water. |
Dear AliciaLeigh,
Whom do you admire and why?
Diane McCormack |
Dear Diane McCormack,
I admire my sister, Tiffany. She graduated college at Chapman and got her teaching credentials. She is going through her interviews right now to be a teacher. She's just such a hard worker and has such a good head on her shoulders. I’m proud of her and really look up to her. I wish I had half the dedication she does. |
Dear AliciaLeigh,
What has been your favorite storyline to play on GH so far? Which really forced you to get out of your comfort level as an actress?
Kelly |
Dear Kelly,
There were a few breakup scenes that Steve Burton (Jason) and I had that seemed so real. I felt really comfortable to let myself go and just lose it. Doing it every day can be exhausting. But, in a way, it can also be very therapeutic. |
Dear AliciaLeigh,
I read in Soaps In Depth that you would like to have more scenes with Sonny. What’s it like working with Maurice Benard?
J.G |
Dear J.G,
Ever since the beginning, I’ve felt that I always learn something when I work with Maurice. When you work with him — and he can be fun and goofy, too — it’s all about the work. He cares more about the work than anyone that I’ve ever met. And you have to respect that. He’s the most dedicated person that I’ve ever worked with. |
Dear AliciaLeigh,
If Courtney could experience a parallel life (like comatose Carly did), who would be her object of affection in that life?
Leigh Haugh |
Dear Leigh Haugh,
I love Tyler Christopher (Nikolas) and Natalia Livingston (Emily) together, and I think they make an amazing couple. But I think if it were anybody on the show, I think it would be Nikolas. I think he rocks. He’s awesome. Maybe he’ll get amnesia again, and he and Courtney can be on an island together. I like that. I’m going to suggest that. |
Dear AliciaLeigh,
What types of movies do you like, and what was the last movie that you saw?
Osanna Nalbandian |
Dear Osanna Nalbandian,
I saw Monster last night. Wow. Charlize Theron has got guts. I love movies like that. I like independent films. Darker, more seedy movies. |
Dear AliciaLeigh,
What inspired you to become an actress? What was your first professional gig? I have to say that you are one of my favorite actresses.
Mindy |
Dear Mindy,
My father. We lived in Georgia, and he moved us all to California because he wanted to act. We were like the Beverly Hillbillies moving from Atlanta to California. He was so dedicated and loved it so much. Then I got the bug. My first job ever was a Bank Of America commercial when I was 5. |
Dear AliciaLeigh,
What do you find to be the most difficult or the worst part of doing a photo shoot?
Tara Callahan |
Dear Tara Callahan,
I hate photo shoots. I am the worst model on the planet. The last photographer at a photo shoot told me, "Okay, Alicia. Pretend like you want to be here." I have a hard time taking myself seriously. Sitting in front of a camera posing or trying to look sexy, I feel stupid half the time. I feel sorry for the photographer. |
Dear AliciaLeigh,
You are in such great shape! Being an avid exercise enthusiast myself, I really enjoy and appreciate how the GH writers have incorporated your own physical strength and fitness into Courtney’s personality. What does your normal weekly fitness regime consist of, and how do you manage to keep it up with your heavy, and often unpredictable work schedule?
Laurie McRae |
Dear Laurie McRae,
Lately, it’s been getting a lot harder and harder. I’m starting to get back into it. I try to mix it up. I like to box, I like to run, and I love swimming in the ocean and surfing. It’s about keeping it interesting because I hate working out. I hate it! I try to make it enjoyable, but it’s not fun. When I work out at the gym, my trainer kicks my butt. When you’re done, it’s a great feeling, though. |
Dear AliciaLeigh,
What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
Sharyn |
Dear Sharyn,
I love reading. I love hanging out with my boyfriend and my dog. When I come home, I’m all about relaxing and trying to have quiet time. |
Dear AliciaLeigh,
I have to start off by saying that I think you are a great actress. I am 16, and I have always wanted to be in the school’s musicals and plays, but I get so nervous before the auditions and can’t do it. Do you have any helpful tips?
Ashley |
Dear Ashley,
A good relaxation to do before an audition is yoga. Whenever I have a big audition or I feel anxious, yoga always makes me feel better. |
Dear AliciaLeigh,
If you could change any thing about Courtney, what would it be and why?
Tammy |
Dear Tammy,
I probably wouldn’t make her as trusting as she is.
|
Dear AliciaLeigh,
What kind of makeup and hair products do you use?
Cindy |
Dear Cindy,
Lately, I’ve been using a lot of Dermalogica. All of their face products. I have a tendency to break out. I have since I was really young. Since I’ve used Dermalogica, I haven’t had any breakouts at all. I use a shampoo called Cat Walk. It’s purple for blondes.
|
Dear AliciaLeigh,
First off, I want to say that you’re doing a phenomenal job on GH! I would also like to ask if you have a crush on anyone on the set, and if so, whom?
Emma13 |
Dear Emma13,
They’re all like my brothers! |
Dear AliciaLeigh,
What’s it like working with Ingo Rademacher (Jax)?
Susie Callahan |
Dear Susie Callahan,
Ingo and I have this fun kind of relationship where we joke back and forth. It’s very playful and light. |
Dear AliciaLeigh,
I am loving your chemistry with Ingo! It is so exciting to see where things could go with Jax and Courtney pairing up. How do you feel about a love thing with Jax?
Christine |
Dear Christine,
I think it would be interesting. There’s definitely a potential there. Deep down, Courtney thinks he’s a really great guy. But she’s really still hung up on Jason.
|
Dear AliciaLeigh,
If you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be and why?
Lori |
Dear Lori,
I’m going to Greece for the Olympics and then maybe Italy. I’ve never been to Europe before. So that’s where I’d want to go, and I’m going! I’m pretty excited.
|
Dear AliciaLeigh,
I am a Courtney fan first, so I am behind you every step of the way, but do you think we will get a Jason and Courtney reunion by the end of this year? Thanks!
Taliah |
Dear Taliah,
I hope so. I hope there is some kind of a reunion. But I also love my story with Jax. I can’t lose either way.
