INTERVIEW BY MATT MCCORMICK
hannon Elizabeth was one of the stars of last summer's hit movie American
’/e. The actress has another comedy coming out this summer, a spoof of
scary movies called Scary Movie, directed by Keenan Ivory Wayans. A
cooperative rr xas native, Elizabeth was born in Houston and raised in Waco. After graduat-
sanj "we train; high school, she moved to New York to pursue a modeling career. Eliz-
polite and couffl Iwook time recently to participate in a phone interview with The Battalion in

school-wise that 1 could do by way of that. It wasn’t really frustrating at the time
because I did not know what it was like anywhere else in the world. That was all
I knew. I was very sheltered. I didn’t know that there was more out there. I am so
happy with the way everything is going now.
Q
You seem to be attracted to comedies.

It is really just kind of how it started off. I really love comedies. I really love
making people laugh. There is nothing more fulfilling than that. I can understand
why people like doing sitcoms because you get the immediate satisfaction of hear
ing the laughter. I am really looking forward to doing so many things that drama
will definitely be in there. My next film looks like it may be a romantic comedy.
1 want to do it all. Because American Pie is what people saw me in first, 1 think
that I am getting offered a lot more roles like that.
Q
Could you talk a little bit about your character [in Scary Movie]?
I am kind of like the Sarah Michelle Cellar character. In fact, my character
'name was Buffy Cellar, but they changed it to Buffy Gelmore. It actually really
parallels [Buffy] a little bit. [The character] is kind of ditzy. Of the group that I
am in, I am definitely the one with no brains left. She is a fun character to play.
Because I was always very good in school, it was hard to get into that mindset of
being totally naive to everything that is going on.
I am a huge animal lover and have several dogs myself. Part of the reason why
I started doing work on the Internet was so I could give to my favorite charities.
The Amanda Foundation is one that I really believe in because they rescue ani
mals from the shelter and give them a second chance on life. I want to help them.
They’ve been very positive.
Q * In a recent Maxim article, you commented about how the film-
• makers on this project [Scary Movie] were making you wear very
skimpy outfits and doing a lot of size enhancement with padding.
What was your reaction to that? Did you feel that it was necessary to ttie over-
The-top spoof?
*
| That is definitely why he is doing it. I think at that point he was spoofing Jen-
1 niter Love Hewitt because in the / Know What You Did Last Summer movies, she
was always showing a lot of cleavage.
I think [Keenen Ivory Wayans] want
ed to go further with it and really blow
people away. There is a part when you
first see me and you’re just like, "Oh,
my God.” Then my outfits kept get
ting smaller and smaller and I just
want people to know that that is not all
me. There is a lot of padding there. It
is just unbelievable to watch.
Q
What is it about acting that appeals to you?
Q
What keeps you busy be
tween work?
I really have so much fun when I am working. I feel like I did not have to pick
a profession in my life as far as like a doctor or a lawyer. I can play them all. 1 feel
like I can’t lose because I can still do it all. I am learning so much constantly. I
love it.
Q
• I know you do a lot of work with the Amanda Foundation. Could
• you elaborate on that?
I have been doing a lot of work on
the Internet, i really think it is a great
place to learn. 1 have also been doing a
lot of photo shoots. I feel like I am con
stantly on the go. I don’t think I have
sat down and watched TV in a really
long time, and that is what I would re
ally like to do for an hour or so.
