The Knowledge
It's common knowldge that Charaisma
auditioned for Buffy before getting the role of Cordelia, but did you know that
the role of Cordelia nearly went to Bianca Lawson (Kendra), before they saw
Charisma?
She is named after an Avon perfume
that her mother likes.
She was a Cheerleader for the San
Diego Chargers and is sick of people going on about it.
Her family moved to Mexico when
she was 15
She studied classical ballet from
the age of 5, but reckons she is a terrible singer and can't watch herself singing
in The Puppet Show
She wanted to be and English teacher
before becoming an actress. She thinks that maybe one day she will go into the
teaching profession.
When Cordy first joined the Slayerettes,
Charisma was worried that she'd become nice. (No worries there)
She loves doing scenes with Nicholas
Brendon, especially the 'Bitca' scenes.
Rember when Cordy impaled herself
on a pipe in Lover's Walk? Well that happened to Charisma when she was
5. A pool was being built in her back garden and her and her friend were playing
where they shouldn't be. Charisma fell into the pool and impaled herself on
one of those metal bars they use to reinforce the concrete. "I almost died."
she says.
She was afraid of her brother when
she was little.
