News, Reviews & Commentary on Lesbian and Bisexual women in Entertainment and the Media

Has anyone else noticed that Karina Lombard is left handed? For me - that is thrilling because I am as well.

There is no question in my mind that Karina is indeed Bisexual! ( To answer Erin's Question)

Totally agree. The two best characters (as well as sexiest) in my opinion will be dearly missed.

LOVE LOVE LOVE HER! HOTTIE!
Anyways...so I hear she has another lover besides Jenny. I peg her as a seductive PLAYER. That is my feel on it. She likes the action! She likes getting in the middle of relationships and being a seductrice. I know some of these people myself.

everyone is enjoying the l-word dvd box Wink??i've been thru all episodes right now, and F$%k this show is the best i have ever seen so far.the storys, the characters and the actresses are so freakin realistic, it's amazing!a lot of delicious scenes...yum....i have to say most affected i was by - believe it or not - the marina/jenny thing.at times especially this story gave me such a huge flashback to my past, weird.....but what a great acting between karina lombard and mia kirshner, very intensely!!.....i find both have a extraordinary chemistry together....

i did a search for stephanie beacham when you said that, 'cos i didn't know who she was, and at first i didn't really agree from what i saw, but when i got to this picture i was like... WHOAH!

not exactly, but the similarity is there; to me, at least. LOL! (though i would probably say karina is a lot hotter. but i'm biased, yes.)

Karina Lombard seemed to hint in the last issue of Girlfriends magazine that she has been with a woman or at least that shes open to that idea. Oh we can all dream. Shame she won't be back next season, heres hoping they at least bring back the soup chef.

If Karina is not asked to come back for season 2, I think I would cry and I never do that. She really is one of the only reasons I watch the show. Karina is so f**king HOT/SEXY.

sagg's picture

Ohh.. thank you for the help! Actually this site with the transcript was the same one I had already known. But when I had read the transcript that time those sentences in french and italian were a mistery because the person didn't put them there. Anyway.... thanks a lot!

This woman is sexy not just physically, but she throws you into her web. It shows how dominate a woman can be.

Marina has the capability to make a straight girl think twice and I hope that is what this all turns out to be. I hope she isnt used to unleash but create a new found power inside Jenny. It's possible. I've known so many straight girls who would go the other route for a special someone ;-)....It's never me though...pfft.

I don't know what they've decided about bringing Karina back for Season Two. I just heard a few weeks ago that it was kind of up in the air because she doesn't exactly get along with the other actors (who are a tight group).

As for how I heard this: I live in LA and have a few friends in the entertainment biz who pass on the gossip sometimes. Given what a small lesbian world it is in LA and how popular _The L Word_ is, it isn't that surprising that some gossip would start to leak about the show.

But I do hope they keep Karina/Marina, and I've got my fingers crossed for her. Certainly I think all the fan support for Marina will count in the "pros" column for keeping her on! Smile

Thanx crackberry, for the response! I can't help but wonder specifically what all that means, not that we'll ever really know. I hope that whatever it is that it will work itself out, so to speak. I hate to see that with actors, and it can be a real drag when you have to work with that sort of thing going on.

sagg's picture

Hey! Smile

I would like to know if someone here could understand what Marina said in the second episode when she spoke in italian and french.
I was reading the transcript and her words were not there.

If anyone could help here telling me her exactly sentences (in the original language, and, if it isn't asking too much, the translation too) I would be really thankfull!

I think it was two sentences in italian (right after she kicks Lacey out of The Planet and then when everybody makes a toast abour Jenny's engagement) and one in french (when she lives Jenny's house after the dinner in the end of the episode).

Ok.. off to bed!
Thanks anyway Wink

She's absolutely stunning in the pilot, she embodies a successful and confident woman, and she's just soooo sexy. And then when Francesca shows up, Marina all of a sudden becomes some sort of subdued woman, she seems to be Francesca's love pet, and she just seems to be another piece of art in what appears to be Francesca's home more than hers... Grrrr. That did not fit at all with what was shown of her temper and character at the start of the show. Now when I watch the pilot again, I have the impression there are two very different Marinas in the show, and I'm afraid I like the first one better.

Any other opinion on this?

La frogg Big Grin


to me the problem with marina was that her character wasn't really developed as an individual in season 1. she didn't have her own identity and storyline... she was conditioned by jenny's storyline (which i found really annoying) and she was more of an supporting role than a main character to me.

Oooh, I definately hope we see more more of Marina over time- though she isn't really my favourite character I do find her very interesting and well, to be frank, she is damn sexy!

Should be nipped right in the budd,especially if it's not true!! Not good for an actress to have this said!

Marina is an enchanting women i can't stand she's not going to stay in the next season...i loved the way she courted Jenny and i hate the way Jenny treatened Marina during the party,even if when they're in the kitchen there has been a beautiful scene,Jenny (here in italy) says she's not yet naturalized to take the ring on but in my opinion Jenny doesn't want accept the fact she's falling in love...Marina tells her "are you happy?" and Jenny doesn't answer...

Marina has been really cool and i soffered with her!

swivel35's picture

Ya know, I have a horrible feeling Marina is just being used as a vessel for Jenny's coming out story much like Kim Legaspi was for Kerry Weaver on ER. I don't know why I think this (I have not read spoilers or anything like that), but I guess as Mia Kirshner is a pretty big "name" actor on the show (second only to Jennifer Beals?), they won't want to lock her into the one storyline for too long.

This would be such a shame as the screen positively sizzles whenever Marina and Jenny are anywhere near the focus. And judging from the positive reaction Karina Lombard is garnering across the L-universe, it'd be a mistake if she's pushed to more a supporting than star role.

It's Karina with big hair. crazy eyes

That's freaky.

Cynthia99's picture

I really agree, that Marina's very hot!!! Though I can't watch the TV show, I managed to get some video clips. Oh girls, Karina's very good, even better than Shane. Really want her to stay for 2nd season. According to the fan posts, she's actually the factor for the L fans! I think we should applause for Karina. At
first, I had some doubt about the character. But karina worked hard on the sexy nature of Marina, she shows us how to seduce like a predator. Smile

sagg's picture

Ohh.. and about Marina being just a stair step to Jenny's coming out... hmm.. i don't feel the same way you do. I don't know... at least I hope the writers give Karina what she deserves.

I thing Marina is a great character! Mysterious, seductive, bold and with so much to add in the show!! Actually she make me nervous because I can't see her with that looks, that accent, that voice, that charm and just keep being calm. I melt everytime she appears in the screen, can't help myself!

Ok, enough of drooling.... Wink

lovebinkslena's picture

While I'm not crazy about the L Word as a whole, MARINA rocks my world! They are fools if they don't keep her on for next season!! Karina Lombard has done some great interviews too. Hot, hot, confident woman.

I've heard rumblings from people who work on the show that Karina may not be asked back for season two; apparently she's difficult to work with or something... Confused

PurpleSkies's picture

Hey

I was reading through a transcript and found this, otherwise I wouldn't know what she was saying.

After she kicks Lacey out she says, "Ritorno più tardi," which means "I'll return later."

When she makes the toast she says, "Tanti auguri," which means "Best wishes."

When she speaks in french before she leaves she says, "C'etait un plaisir de vous rencontrer. J'espere vous revoir?" This means "It was a pleasure meeting you. I hope I am going to see you again?"

I found it on this site site
Just giving credit to the person who did the transcript.

sagg's picture

Oh my! Tell me you're kidding!
I SOOOOOO loved her playing Marina. She must go on in the show! There's nobody like her among all tv shows that i've ever seen.

I'm always wondering what Marina's thinking during her scenes 'cos I know that's something interesting!! Wink

By the way, she's so smart that saying or doing "nothing" she made Jenny's world upside down and if you notice, because Marina's charm, it is Jenny that chases her (and not the opposite) all the time.

Take care!

Yeah that was just so pathetic and out of the picture...

Like Bolina says, she was just depending on Jenny's storyline and that killed her character.

sorry marina is not lesbian she was married with alexander crane i read that in an article from people(1993) i don t know if this guy is famous in your country . I hope somebody will tell me that actually it s not true and that she does prefer women

goldfish's picture

i cannot believe that they get rid of marina but keep jenny!!
marina is stunning so sexy uber-sexy n jenny is so not. i think its a real lose marina i thought was great a brilliant actress and lets admit it she wasnt exactly a sight for sore eyes, inky and her voice is so omg hehe

shabubbly's picture

I also read somewhere that she's not likely to continue on the show.

alexb's picture

I don't know what her real life personality is like, but she is by far the sexiest one on the show. No need to get rid of her too quickly!!

queequeg's picture

Well, I certainly hope that the TPTB and Showtime all realize how beloved KL and Marina are. I heard there were reshoots as of late (after the fact that the they already finished shooting season 1). I pray to God that they're keeping her as part of the cast.

I love everyone on the show but whenever she's on screen, dyam! She's a walking definition of sexy. sigh.

Kiss_that_froggy's picture

OK, i've just finished watching season1, and I am SO disappointed with the evolution of the Marina character throughout the season...

She's absolutely stunning in the pilot, she embodies a successful and confident woman, and she's just soooo sexy. And then when Francesca shows up, Marina all of a sudden becomes some sort of subdued woman, she seems to be Francesca's love pet, and she just seems to be another piece of art in what appears to be Francesca's home more than hers...

I thought I read, either on this site or elsewhere, Marina will have more a presence in season two because of the response she's garnered from the viewers. I could be wrong...I hope not. She's absolutely yummy.

Purrrrr

Praha's picture

I Think that the rummor she's difficult to work with is untrue.In the pics from the cast she is hugging them and smilling and for what I gather from the people who talked to her she's very sweet and very funny. WinkEven if it's true I kinda don't care cos she's that HOT,SEXY and the cast just have to deal Big Grin

Nichole4FSU's picture

She makes me stare at the TV screen in a way I never have before. It's not a pretty sight. Really.

There I sit on the living room couch, the only light coming from the glow of the TV, slack jawed and eyes glazed over like a Krispy Kreme doughnut. crazy eyes

I feel like that little girl in Poltergeist:

"She's heeeeere..."

and off in the distance the faint words I hear in that sexy accent..."Go towards the Light Nichole!! Go!" ...

Then the *whap* upside my head brings me back and I look over, uhh, er, I love you honey! Big Grin


Seriously, she is beautiful thud

harmoni's picture

Yeah, I have noticed that Karina is left handed. I don't no if she is bisexual or not but, it would be nice if she was bi. Anyway, she is just Cool.

Any idea what Karina Lombard is up to now? Surely after all the fuss she can't be short of work :?:

amazil808's picture

Hi ladies, I'm wondering if anyone heard anything about why Marina isn't or won't be on season 2. I heard from a friend that there's a rumor that she's not on season 2 because she doesn't get along with the other actors or crew. I read through this thread and see the same, but does anyone know anything more solid?

Thanks!!!
