I'll be appearing at the Super Mega Show in New Jersey this weekend, so if you're in the area please do stop by! David shot a new picture of Tracy Scoggins and I especially for this show and we'll have some available to sign just for you. Here's the link to all the details of the show.
My friend Rachel is doing something nice for the holidays for animals : Go to www.FARescue.org/ralphs -- If you have a Ralphs card you just sign in with that and follow the directions and they will donate funds to Forte animal rescue. Another nice thing to do is a clothing drive, I am doing one now for Safe Passage ( safepassagehome.org ) a home for battered women....whatever it is this holiday season, take a few moments of your time to reach out. With the economy the way it is many of us can only give our love and our time and frankly..that's the best thing we can offer.
Hey folks! The big UK premier is tomorrow night and I will not be there unfortunately but here's a pic of the creator-writer-director; Andrew Dymond holding one of the giant posters which will be hanging from the theatre. Please visit the site (listed below in the october 30th post) and if you're at the screening...please support them by laughing and applauding!
What a fun holiday! Dressing up is one of my favorite past times so this particular time of year is a riot for me! Here's a pic of my 60's influenced garb shot by (and co-starring) the groovy Dave... I hope you all had a safe and happy holiday..
The world premier of the sci fi comedy TV series i did a couple of years ago is finally happening this November 8th in London. Check out the trailer and the site! :

..the best time to blog.. I just lost a good friend to lung cancer..he was in his early 40's, far too young to go. Please don't smoke folks...it really does kill and the death is not an easy one. It seems all around me people are panicking about the economy...having to find second jobs to make ends meet and generally feeling fearful and bewildered at the state of things. I hope that everyone has a safe place to go to talk about their fears and I pray that everyone has a loyal friend to talk to and to share their angst with. I truly hope things start to look up for people. If you can help each other in small ways : make a few meals for someone who is hurting financially, and drop them off at their house...fill up a friend's gas tank or take them to a movie to forget for a few hours...now is the time to do it. It's easy to share in small and/or big ways, the important thing is to just do it. xx cc
I'm off to London on Sunday and after that to Kansas City to do a film with Jim Brolin and Tatum O'Neil...should be interesting to say the least...I haven't spent much time in Kansas City, just the occasional convention..I didn't actually see much of anything. I'm playing an attorney who gets run over by a truck...(insert lawyer jokes here). I believe "Overnight", the film I just finished, will be at the Sundance Festival this year so that should be good fun..the Kansas film is being directed by Brent Huff, the same fellow I did "Serbian Scars" for last year in Belgrade..I got shot in that one...I'm seeing a theme here! The new film is called "Last Will" and it's pretty violent but hey, that's what sells these days I suppose. I wish I would book a comedy...much more enjoyable! But I am not complaining by the way! Tracy Scoggins just booked an episode NCSI playing a "cougar" type, sounds like a fun role! I'm glad everyone is picking up work since we have no idea whether SAG is going to strike or not...good to get some jobs in before the proverbial merde hits the fan...if it indeed does.... :)
3 dodgy elections in a row for the USA...and now MacCain wants us to believe that he is "needed" in Washington as opposed to the obvious reason of his calling for a halt of the debate tomorrow : FEAR. He know that Obama's oration skills will make him look like the dolt that he is... I'm thinking of moving to Paris if this ridiculousness does not end.
In other news I just signed with a great agency to handle "Defying Gravity" and a few of my other shows...very happy about that. I have attached a funny little poser-photo Tracy and I took the other day as a fun thing...we had a blast messing around all day and her mom was there enjoying our antics. Her mother came to LA after fleeing her home in Texas due to the floods...sometimes I wonder what Mother Nature has in store for us next....hopefully for us California folks it won't be "The Big One"
LAX was interesting to shoot in yesterday...loads of confusion and real people really trying to get to their flights while we were pretending to be real flight attendants ...very odd! Anthony Lapaglia (Without a Trace) joined our cast as the Captain of the flight..he's very nice and quite funny... I finish this Friday and it will be quite sad actually..I have really enjoyed hanging out with Tom and Christina and in general just being a working actress again after many months behind the desk .... I suppose I could finish the novel I've been writing...or go back to studying Italian.... :)
I realize that I may have Republican fans and friends....however, any man or woman who dictates the future of a girl or woman ie: their CHOICE ...is dangerous. Roe vs Wade is here for a reason and I certainly hope that people will not treat this lightly. This election will change America forever...do you realize that EVERY civilized country is praying for an Obama win???? . They are frightened to death of the prospect of another term or two of idiots in the White House. We can only regain our power and respect by voting Democrat, period. Frankly, I don't care if my President served in the military or got a blow job under a table..i only care that he or she will pull us out from the mess which the past Presidents have created..we are now a national joke... ...........we used to be a nation to look up to....
I believe that Obama can lift us out of this embarrassment.
First a disclaimer: I am NOT complaining, I am really enjoying doing this film!
However ... I got to the film set at 9am and at 6pm finally worked ... I walked down the aisle of the plane with a trash bag collecting garbage ... didn't say a word!
You would think that I would use the time in my trailer constructively like perhaps learning Mandarin or reading Proust ... nope, I read Vanity Fair and David Sedaris' new book "When You Are Engulfed In Flames" (very funny... but then again he always makes me giggle) When I finished those I started "The Last Chinese Chef" by Nicole Mones ... so I did nothing but read all day and now I feel like a bum. I should have been doing Pilates in my trailer and practicing my fiddle or guitar....I always have such high hopes for my "time off" but it's usually dashed by my addiction to reading...Oh well, tomorrow is another long day on the set...perhaps I will bring my guitar and annoy my fellow thespians!
Taboo is a music video based from my first single produced by Michael Jay, with Julianna Ray and Jenna Robinson singing back up. The video stars Alex Tydings (Aphrodite in Xena:Warrior Princess) and a gal named Sebastian...it was shot in my old house in Los Feliz, a studio in Culver City and on the freeway over pass near Cahuenga in Los Angeles. I hope you enjoy this little ditty and for all of you out there who actually speak French...my profound apologies. :)
Here are a couple of pics of my cohorts in the film...Tom Hodges and Christina Chang. We're having far too much fun and geting in massive trouble by misbehaving....poor Valerie (the director) must feel like she's wrangling small children. In spite of the heat and the small location (the interior of a fake airplane) we're having a good, productive shoot.
A few years ago I ran into someone who was willing to finance a short film but wanted to do it ASAP. I went home and in a few hours wrote this little movie called "The Experiment"... then decided to play all three female roles. We shot it in two days out in the desert near Desert Hot Springs... and yes the cactus in the back ground is fake and yes we had to bring the phone booth in for the shoot....Michelle Garbin did the terrific make up and Rick Overton was kind enough to play Jack. The prosthetic eye piece was tough to wear because you have no depth perception with one eye and also because you tear up constantly under it so you always feel like you have sand in your eye and a cup of water in there as well..not fun. However, I recall the experience as exhilarating, creative and extremely 'free'...I felt like our little crew was unencumbered by bureaucracy and studio influence and we were simply there to make the best little film we could for the least money in the quickest time. The Electric Prunes were nice enough to score the film (the lead singer was the father of one of our producers) and we ended up with a groovy rendition of Amazing Grace, of all things. I hope you enjoy the film, I sure enjoyed making it, writing it and acting in it!
Hi Folks, this just in from my dear friend Tracy, I'm sure that all of us feel for what the people in the eye of the storm are going through right now....
Friends,
Most of you know that I am a native of Louisiana and a survivor of many hurricanes (including Katrina and Rita). This combined with all the Earthquakes we have suffered has driven home the importance of timely aid and relief in the aftermath of a catastrophic event. It is extremely hard for me to be limited to watching the potential devastation of Gustav from so far away as our family and friends hunker down to ride out the storm, or are in process of evacuating leaving behind their worldly comforts. We pray that they will not need our support, but in the event that the do, I appeal to you all to join me in a campaign to support them in their time of need.
The Hurricane Gustav Relief and Recovery Fund will benefit all individuals impacted and/or displaced by Hurricane Gustav, as these individuals will face numerous challenges related to housing, food, education, healthcare, and other basic necessities. This fund will support organizations and programs that endeavor to meet the critical needs of these residents, assist communities impacted by a sudden influx of displaced individuals, and assist in the planning and rebuilding of infrastructure to provide basic human services to residents as they return to impacted areas. The Foundation will work with leadership from both governmental and private entities to provide resources to programs and projects that benefit impacted communities in their recovery processes.
Earlier today, I communicated with John Davies and Kevin Lyle of the Baton Rouge Area Foundation who are leading the relief efforts and here is what they had to say:
“We learned a great deal in the wake of Katrina and Rita, and we believe our Disaster Recovery plan is even better equipped to respond quickly to the impact of what appears to be a catastrophic event. We have been working today to update our website and activate a donation portal for a relief and recovery fund established by the Foundation. We have just begun to distribute this information to the media, and I wanted to pass it along to you as well. Our website for Gustav related information is www.GustavLouisiana.org, and the donation portal is now up and running.”
Even the smallest donations are appreciated. Remember that many organizations match charitable contributions allowing their employees to double their impact, be sure to check into whether one exist or initiate establishing one. Donations to the Hurricane Gustav Relief and Recovery Fund can be made using any of the following options:
1. Online : Secure Online Donations to the Hurricane Gustav Relief and Recovery Fund can be made using all major Credit Cards, your PayPal account, or an Electronic Check. www.GustavLouisiana.org
2. By Check : Donations by check to the Hurricane Gustav Relief and Recovery Fund should be made Payable to the Baton Rouge Area Foundation, and can be mailed or delivered to the Foundation’s physical address:
Baton Rouge Area Foundation 402 North Fourth Street Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70802 Federal ID# 72-6030391
3. By Phone : Please note that the offices are currently closed until after the storm has passed, at which time they will be able to accept contributions by phone.
(225)387-6126 (225)387-6153
Please forward this information to your network within your respective organizations as well as socialize the www.GustavLouisiana.org donation portal with your business partnerships, local support organizations who may want to get involved, friends and any media contacts you may have within your reach. Thank you in advance for your generous support!
Sincerely,
Tracy

I started working on the film Overnight on Tuesday and boy is it hot Santa Clarita! I'm working with Tom Hodges, one of the funniest men on the planet , I have known him for 20+ years...and of course my old friend Valerie Breiman is directing it, check out her movie "Love and Sex" starring Famke Jansen and Jon Favreau...she's a terrific director and it's like being with family on the set...I'll takes some pics soon and post them. New knife photos coming soon as well..the collection is becoming..well, a collection! xx cc
my friend Paul suggested that we look for love so that we have someone to bear witness to our lives...an interesting thought because I do notice that my hermit God Father (who has been without human companionship for 50 plus years) has become "invisible" in his mind..as if he is walking on the sands of life and leaves no footprints...I can only communicate with him via letters and he owns no phone nor uses a computer..a modern day hermit....I have written him a letter a couple of times a month since I was 8 years old..he has taught me about opera and classical music and history through letters...I still have them all....I feel blessed to have that in my life yet also saddened by the fact that he must be lonely but cannot admit it...a human condition...I hope any of you out there who ARE lonely can find the strength to reach out to those who will embrace you. x cc
What is it exactly about love that makes humans so crazy.. .... you know that Buddhists say that you spend your last life (before going to heaven or their version of this) as a dog...because dogs are selfless.. ........so I wonder if God made us always searching for "the one" might be because HE had -nor has ever found HIS one....HE must be very lonely.....I wonder if perhaps that's why we are supposed to "pray" and honor our Gods...maybe, just maybe...they are trapped in a place where they cannot reach love...no one to hold them at night...no one to tell them that they are doing a great job at living this life.....I wonder if our prayers keep them motivated...I wonder if that's all they have...
I would like to recommend Neil Gamain's INCREDIBLE book "American Gods" ...the sequel is also amazing please support this talented writer.. xx cc
I re- read Sir Richard Burton's "Falconry in the Valley of the Indus" recenty...this man had an amazing life and his wife Isabelle Burton put up with his absences of years and years with great aplomb. Read "Journey to Mecca" and find out how he infiltrated Mecca disguised with walnut oil (to make him look darker)...an incredible story and life. I also strongly suggest the book "The Wilder Shores of Love" it sounds like a romance novel but it's actually the stories of amazing women throughout history...really fascinating.
I've been thinking about life and dreams and goals (yes, again) and I kind of wish that I was raised in a Buddhist temple because I'm quite sure that they don't stress about what kind of car they drive nor the walls which keep them safe at night...I wonder if being human does actually mean that you keep striving for things that at the end of the day (let's face it) are not really important. Do you think that a mouse cares where he/she lives? Do you think that a cat really worries about his/her complexion? We should all embrace what makes us unique and special and feel good about simply being alive....and maybe be more animalistic. Selfishness is pervasive and strong and in this era we have become ridiculously selfish....I spoke to Tracey Scoggins and she said that she had just finished dropping off a bunch of books to a VA hospital...she's in the middle of moving yet she found the time to do this simple act of kindness....made me feel like a heel frankly....I think I'll go through my books and dvds and all of that "stuff" today and drop it off at an old folks home...might make me feel like I'm not just breathing up the air on this planet. Sometimes the impetus to do good comes from sources we never knew could move us.....if I may be cheeky I would ask of you to do the same... xx
It's my mom's birthday today...Leos , Leos and more leos! My brother is also in August...I guess people were having "relations" a lot in the winter...:)
David gave me a really cool Panasonic Lumix digital camera so I will take that to the set of "Fly Overs", please be kind when judging my photos..I'm no expert... I do have a photo of the first knife coming from the new collection..hope you like it, and feedback will be appreciated! xx cc
so I was thinking about the fact that my God children have become so "human" recently..I mean I can recall when they couldn't speak, eat on their own or even walk! My Gosh time slips by! I had fun at the Karl bday celebration, watching him interact with the other kids and remembering that I married his parents in Scotland (I became a minister for that one) ...time really does pass quickly these days....it seems like yesterday when we were all in Laguna Beach high school...Gosh I sound like an old fart! :) My best friend from the 80"s arrives from Vancouver (eh?) today and I cannot wait! We met on the set of a Bob Hope movie I starred in a thousand years ago (see, time flies!) and have remained close ever since....old friends are the best....she's a hot shot producer in Canada....I can't wait to show her around LA again...just like the old days.. xx cc
I appreciate every single happy birthday thought, email, facebook message etc. which was sent my way in the last couple of days...you guys and girls ROCK! xx
woke up early..6am....I don't feel any older, in fact I woke up singing "happy birthday to me, you look like a monkey and you smell like one too..." is that normal for a woman of my age?? In any event I am looking forward to now TWO God children visits today! My God daughter Kimberly is making brunch for me with her mother and of course the cake and ice cream with Karl Claudius in the afternoon..I feel a tummy ache coming on! I heard from my friend Simon Lewis (we did Star Hyke together and he is HILARIOUS) who read my blog about "time passing quickly " and he had a great response : "I've been reading your daily blog, and it seems that we're both thinking along the same lines at the moment. I'm actually convinced that time has very subtly started to move faster in the past three or four years. I don't know why, and it's quite hard to articulate..but it's as though the ground is being cleared for SOMETHING huge to happen. I had a long conversation with a good friend whose opinion I normally respect about just this phenomenon, and the response was, 'Ah..that's because you're getting older'. But it ISN'T. You know when you actually stop, draw a breath and look around yourself, there are some very strange things happening. For example, I've hardly seen a single bee this year..normally the gardens and hedgerows are full of them. And the weather at the moment is very bizarre. Hailstones out of a clear blue sky, sudden, almost tropical rainstorms with inches of rain falling in minutes...and a sunlight that's frankly unpleasant to be be out in - I remember years ago, I used to lie out in the sunshine in the countryside around Bristol for HOURS, and feel great. Now, it doesn't even feel healthy to be exposed to it for more than a few minutes. It's harsh, it's bright, and it BURNS. A couple of days without rain, and the grass is almost scrub! Something's definitely going on; just can't quite put my finger on it at the moment. But it certainly seems to be making people behave strangely. Perhaps I AM getting old. I don't think so, though..*cue TWILIGHT ZONE music*" There IS something going on and I'm not sure what it is but he's right...the planet HAS changed and it's not because I am missing the 80's...:) Be safe out there in the sun... xx cc
Okay so I'm milking it a little, my birthday isn't until Sunday but I am starting to celebrate right now! It's blazing hot here on Mulholland drive at the top of the mountain with no breeze and lizards running for their life across the lava like decking. I'm helping to build my birthday present, an outdoor bed..the thing is HUGE! 8 feet high and a queen sized mattress..I must have been mad when I requested it! The tough thing about working outdoors in the heat is that you make mistakes...fried brain I believe is the professional term for it...in any event I am happy to have sunshine and happy to have a pool to jump in (even though it's more of a dog pool...tiny and shallow..why bother digging one??) On my actual birthday I am having cake and ice cream with the man in my life...my 2 year old Godson Karl Claudius..cool name eh? If you would have asked me a decade ago if that's what I would be doing on my birthday I would have laughed but there it is...glamorous? no...fun? Indeed! :)
so I was talking to David and we briefly touched upon the fact that most people keep holding their breath for "something to happen" or they look forward to some elusive "thing" to happen...like looking forward to a holiday or a new job or saying "when I meet someone special..things will be great in my life". It made me think of the fact that most people don't enjoy the "now"..we are ever looking for something to look forward to instead of enjoying what is in front of our faces...LIFE. It may be a tad pedestrian and it might be a little boring ..but it's ours..our life and it's passing us by unless we acknowledge the good, the bad and the ugly of it. So take some time today to look at nature, smell a flower.say hi to a stranger...enjoy the fact that you're breathing...and know that someone out there is wishing you a beautiful day.. xx cc
Please visit my friend Sam Bozzo's site about the war over water....he is looking for financing to finish his documentary...he's very close to finishing and doesn't need much! He's at :www.bluegold-worldwaterwars.com Long live the Earth.. :)
In January I moved back to LA after 4 years in London. I moved to the UK for a myriad of reasons.... I was burnt out on LA after 25 years here, the work was becoming sparse and the friends I had were sycophants and good time Charlies. An old friend offered me a job in Bristol, I fell in love with England and voila..4 years went by...however, you can't take the California out of the girl I guess. I missed the sun, oh Lord did I miss the sun...I missed having a car and sushi and friendly people and oh, tons of things...so one rainy, cold grey afternoon in December I had a chat with an old friend in LA and he asked me to be his partner in his entertainment company.. so once again I picked up and moved country for work. I said that I would give it a year..a year to work with him and develop projects and see what happens. Well, today we finally got one of our projects financed and we begin casting next week. The fact that it's my birthday on Sunday makes this a really special gift and perhaps a sign that I am on the right path??? It took 7 months of throwing a heck of a lot of things against the wall but one stuck! As my mom always says..."you get out what you put in" not terribly deep but if you really think about it, it makes sense. I guess my point is that things don't happen overnight the way they used to magically when I was a teenager or in my 20's..now things seem to be more of an effort, the economy has forced people to tighten their belts and not as many projects are being funded. Many of my friends are looking for money for their documentaries, films etc. and many of these are extremely viable, important projects..but they don't give up, they just keep plugging away. Today's lesson was that sometimes perseverance and hard work doesn't pay off at all..I have had ideas stolen, financing fall through days before shooting and have lost roles to people who turned out to be unprofessional or just plain bad...but sometimes...it all does pay off in a small but nice way... I hope all of you have some "pay off" days soon..they feel really good and they make you carry that hope into the next day...after all, that's all we really are..a bunch of hopeful individuals trying to make our dreams come true. xx cc
The Secret of Lost Things by Sheridan Hay is a swell read. If you are a lover of esoteric tidbits of knowledge, quirky characters and a fascinating (albeit occasionally naive) protagonist...then this book is for you. If you love book stores and New York you will also love this book, you can practically smell the dust on the shelves and taste the NY seasons...I recommend it highly.
Tracy Scoggins and I have developed a hilarious new show for the two of us to star in. It's Galaxy Quest meets The Gary Shandling Show..."Defying Gravity" is the perfect vehicle for Tracy and I ...the two of us share the same warped sense of humor and of course, we have the Babylon 5 connection of having both played Commanders on the show. Stay tuned for more information as we take the project into the shark infested waters of Hollyweird!
I have a new line of knives hand made by my good friend Dave Rogers. The Claudia Christian Collection will be an exclusive line of knives and daggers hand crafted from the finest materials. Each knife will reflect my love and passion for edged weapons. Coming soon!
Also I have a new poster by Ran Valerhon please click here to see it (over 18 please)
Books are my life. I've written a couple along the way, and read at least 2 novels a week and will be sharing each and every one of them with you here on my blog. There's nothing better than passing along a good read to a good friend! Keep watching the "Books On My Shelf" Category.
'til then, here's a shameless plug for my book "My Life With Geeks & Freaks" click here
I'm starting the film "Fly Overs" August 26th. My good friend Valerie Breiman is directing (I did a cameo in her last film "Love and Sex" with John Favreau and Famke Janssen) I play a bitchy flight attendant so it should be fun! I'll be bringing my camera to the set so I'll post some pics along the way.....James D'arcy stars in it along with a host of other fab actors and actresses.
" (very funny... but then again he always makes me giggle) When I finished those I started "The Last Chinese Chef
