All Access Pass: Elizabeth Keener

Elizabeth also talks about starring in the lesbian short film Getting to Know You, what it's like to have a sister in the same business, her role in a new John Wells pilot, and the latest on her upcoming FBI series on here TV.

Later, Elizabeth and Andrea re-inact a famous scene from The L Word.

    KEENERRRRR!

    I've missed her. Great interview, hot make out scene. Lucy was a little weak though, I think she needs some acting classes.

    to Andrea's question, "is she really a lesbian?"  She asked it early on, but after almost 30 minutes on incessant chattering, I don't recall Elizabeth ever answering that question.  If you aren't, then just say so.  When you refuse to answer the question, everyone thinks you are, so if you are why avoid saying so?

    p.s. Andrea, please think about paring down your interviews.

    She didn't answer that

    She didn't answer that question because she probably felt that the people watching this would already know tha she is a lesbian. She didnt refuse to answer the question it has just basically been common knowledge

    Shame to hear DD won't be making another appearance on the L word.

    Keener is great, and I love her sister just as much. Both are phenomenal in their acting. They just bring it in every role. I can't believe Elizabeth hasn't been in more stuff...but I'm glad to hear there's a lot upcoming.

    i totally own that dildo w/the bullet, & let me say that it is so worth the investment. so if you have any type of reason to buy a gift for yourself i highly recommend that.

    by far, one of my favorite All Access Pass. This one and the one with suzanne westenhoefer were both good and funny.

    Thanks for another great episode Andrea! Elizabeth did a really great job playing DD and you gotta love the classic line 'and my lover Cindy.'

    In the interview Andrea pondered what women would do when the L Word was over.  There is another lesbian show on tv in addition to The L Word.  Exes and Ohs season 2 will be airing this year.
