====================================
   
TV Guide: Tonight we're chatting live with Dedee
Pfeiffer from the WB's For Your Love. Welcome
Dedee! Thanks for joining us tonight!

Dedee Pfeiffer: Hello everybody!

Question: How much like your character are you in
real life?

Dedee Pfeiffer: We're very similar in that we're both
quirky and very silly. And love animals. The
differences would be that she's married, I'm not. So
right there that's a big difference.

Question: Do you have much input on your character?

Dedee Pfeiffer: Usually the scripts are already
written, but many times they will see myself or the
other actors doing spontaneous things and will allow
this. Which then becomes a characteristic of the
character.

Question: Who are some of the actresses and actors
you admire?

Dedee Pfeiffer: Ah-ha! I LOVE Kevin Spacey and
Antonio Banderas. Tommy Lee Jones. Gena Rowlands.
Jessica Lange. And of course, I'm a big fan of my sister
Michelle. Who now owes me big time!

Question: How did you get the role on the show?

Dedee Pfeiffer: I went in and read for the role of
Sheri with many other actresses. And I guess the gods
were with me that day because I landed the role.

Question: When did you decide to go into acting? And
what was your first big break?

Dedee Pfeiffer: I started acting almost 18 years ago.
And my big break was a ten dollar hooker in the movie
Into the Night which the director Jon Landis gave me.

Question: What is the rest of the cast like? Do you all
get along off set?

Dedee Pfeiffer: Yes, yes, yes. We absolutely love and
adore each other. All the fun that you see within the
characters truly exists with each other.

Question: What has been your favorite role so far?

Dedee Pfeiffer: Boy! I think I would have to say the
role I'm playing now as Sheri. Because she often makes
me, Dedee, laugh. A lot of times they have me doing
things in rehearsal that I end up laughing while trying to
do - she is so silly!

Question: So you're not married. Hmm... Do you have
a boyfriend?

Dedee Pfeiffer: No. Just a lot of animals.

Question: Do you have any projects coming up soon,
films or theater, that we could look for?

Dedee Pfeiffer: I have two feature films, hopefully
that will come out. The first one is called The Sky is
Falling. The other one is Radical Jack.

Question: Have you done much theater?

Dedee Pfeiffer: Actually I have done three plays. And
found them to be incredibly exciting and very scary.
But still - more exciting. 

Question: Do you prefer doing film, TV or theater?

Dedee Pfeiffer: Ah! As an actor, I prefer theater. But
as a person who needs money, I like TV. And - I love
all three.

Question: What do you like to do in your spare time?

Dedee Pfeiffer: I rescue wild animals. I do a lot of
charity work with inner city children. Which I'm very
fond of, having no children of my own. And I do
fundraisers for cancer and AIDS. And eat Mexican
food.

Question: Do you think your show is accurate in
showing how relationships are in the 90's?

Dedee Pfeiffer: I think we're as accurate as you can
be being censored.

Question: Can you give us any hints on upcoming
shows?

Dedee Pfeiffer: I would love to, if I knew any! But
since I don't, I can't!

Question: What advice would you give to an aspiring
actress about the business?

Dedee Pfeiffer: Study, study and study. And I think it's
important to really want it, because the rejection that
you will inevitably get you will have to learn how to
deal with in a healthy manner.

Question: Do you prefer drama or comedy and why?
Which do you think is more difficult?

Dedee Pfeiffer: I prefer overall, dramedy. Which is
the comedy that comes from real drama. And I believe
that in a lot of ways comedy is harder because people
who are really truly funny are almost always pulling
their comedy from a very painful place. 

TV Guide: Thanks Dedee for chatting with us! We had
a great time and hope you come back soon!

Dedee Pfeiffer: Goodbye and thank you and Peace!
