Hi dear inhabitants of LesPlanet, continuing with Kate Moenning, we bring them here the second part of the curiosities of our beloved and phrases that Shane will allow us to know things about her, about her life and way of thinking that will surprise us.

Kate before to being a model and actress, started from any downstream neighbor's son worked at a pizza parlor and a grocery store when she was a teenager.

When Kate was child, was not the typical girl in pink dress and two collections in the head, it is defined as a small butch Philadelphia, she and her friends were playing and walked the streets in their tricycles and they called themselves the " Big Wheels Harley Gang "

Kate has confessed that he would love to design. She shares a very similar style to that of her character and she likes to choose some of the costumes with which it comes in "The L Word".


She noted that no action should be studied studied marine biology or police investigation and belong to the FBI.

Although Kate has not traveled to all countries that had wanted, so if you've traveled from one extreme to another Mexico and she's really loves it.

One of the passions of Kate is the kitchen, among her favorite foods is sushi, or does not like tomatoes and aubergines.

Kate has two dogs a dog named Floyd who is a Jack Russell Terrier Chihuahua mix with mixer of what she fell in love at first sight, what she saw while walking with Leisha and Erin for the first time when he moved to LA, Kate also has another dog mix of terrier named "Captain", which it bought in Vancouver in 2005 ... and has approximately 3 years and 5 months old.

Kate was one of the spokesmen for Showtime at the announcement of the Red Cross to assist with Hurricane Katrina victims.


When Kate learned that the 3rd season in the character of Dana was going to die, she hit a lot, not only because an endearing character would leave the series, if not because Erin Daniels is a very good friend of hers, it was very difficult to say goodbye to a person with whom she has lived for almost all recordings.

A Kate likes to experiment and has learned to use the skate to make their own stunts in some scenes from the 3rd season when Shane opened the salon in a shop skates. (As a good member of the Big Wheels Harley Gang there are things that do not change. ..)

In 2002 we saw Kate's face in one of her early appearances on TV, was at a Fleet Bank's announcement that highlighted the quick service from the bank.


One of the favorite pastimes of Kate is reading, loves to read and her favorite author is Augusten Burroughs. Kate's favorite book of all time is "The Beach" by Alex Garland.

In five words she's defined like this: decent, comprehensive, impatient, cranky and very shy.

The word that most likes to Kate and the most used is "nice" and the least used is "no".

The favorite sport of surfing is Kate, who likes to practice whenever she can on the beaches of California.

Her first appearance on Broadway was in 2006 when starred alongside Lee Pace in the play "The Guardians" a book that explained a fictional version of the story behind the photos from Abu Ghraib.

The most admired actresses are Patricia Clarkson, Lili Taylor, Martha Plimpton and Frances McDormand.

Quite to the contrary that her character Shane, Kate believes that the sex scenes are for it is shy, very uncomfortable, she says, "A scene of love, regardless of whom the're doing, it is an uncomfortable experience. It is not natural, it's very technical, and is the most distant to be sexy as you can ever imagine. So I have to act to stop thinking and just do it, I try to forget the camera and people from all over ... and try to make this experience as comfortable as possible. "

Her favorite programs on TV besides L word is: "Six Feet Ander," "The Cosby Show," "The Wonder Years," "90210".

Her full name is Sian Katherine Moennig, her friends call her Kate. And as the Scout calls her mother.

Kate takes at least the part that we can see from her body tattoos 5, a number "2" on the ring finger of her right hand (which is its number of life according to numerology) a "cross" in her wrist ( who was formerly the letter "K"), on her right tricep she has a tattoo of a "Bird" (she did when she saw in a dream she had, what had at that spot) is tricep in her left a tattoo that was not read very well but it is a name, the tattoo says "Mary" in honor of her mother, Mary Zahn, and last but not least is the silhouette of a violin tattooed on her back where it ends and begins ... .. (know that), and within that outline the letter "M" for Moennig (she did one day after her father died and it is her way of honor).

Her grandfather was William Moennig natural Markneukirchen, a small German town famous for its musical instruments. It has German and Irish descent and as I said before is cousin of Gwyneth Paltrow.

All the actresses in "the L word" say they are friends. During the second season Kate, Leisha and Erin and Mia lived together down the street. Kate is all very well, but it has more affinity with these three. But the friend is always inseparable from Leisha.

Knowing more to ... Kate Moenning part 1

Hey guys, this time we will know something more about the beloved, admired and loved by many of you SHANE McCutcheon ... (Kate Moenning).

Katherine Moennig Sian was born on December 29, 1977 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvaia (USA). Mary Zahn is the daughter of a former Broadway dancer and the manufacturer of violins William Moennig, brother of actress Blythe Danner. It is also the niece of actress Blythe Danner, actor Harry and Daner of the producer Bruce Paltrow and cousin of director Jake Paltrow, the actress Hillary Danner and the winner of an Oscar Gwyneth Paltrow.

For 18 years she moved to New York to study interpretation at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts (American Academy of Dramatic Arts) studies that are paid to work as a model. Just 2 months after her graduation in AADA she continued her apprenticeship at the prestigious Williamstown Theater Festival for two seasons and gained a great experience working on shows like Comedy of Art, The Theory of Total Blame, Morning in the City and in 2000 in a second step by the Williamstown appeared in a production of Shakespeare's "As You Like It" with the companion to her cousin Gwyneth Paltrow .

The first commercial appearance of Katherine came with the lead role in the music video "Is Anybody Home?" Which was filmed in Toronto by the Canadian group Our Lady Peace in 1999.


That same year he auditioned for the role of Brandon Teena in "Boys Don't Cry" although the role it would give Hillary Swank who won an Oscar for this role. Months later she made her debut in the series for the WB Television "Young Americans" (Young Rebels in Spain) playing Jake Pratt, a girl who poses as boy in order to study in the Rawley Academy., Which would prove to be a defined role for her.

The new recognition of Katherine led to roles in "Ice People" (2000) by Susanne Oberbeck, "Slo-Mo" (2001) John Krokida, "The Shipping News" (2001) and Peter Sehr's film "Love The Hard Way "(2001).

In October 2001 she returned to television as a guest artist in the role of Melissa's daughter Cathy Moriarty in the NBC series Law and Order and then made her appearance as a guest artist in the chapter "Fallacy" in the series Law and Order: SUV (Special Victims Unit) in April 2003.

Beals responded "Absolutely not .... I heard a rumor that somebody .... I'm supposed to be bisexual, which is a compliment to me, because often I go where Leisha or Kate or Rose or Ilene and wonder 'ok, is this the right way to do it? This is not correct? I'm going to look like a fool if I do this? ". Kate, so daring, took the course as a compliment to their acting skills. For the moment has not made any comment about their sexual orientation.

In 2006 Moennig left outside the comfortable world of the L word to make her debut in "Guardians" a play about a scandal in an American prison in Iraq. The role of Kate is based on the dishonored soldier Lynndie England, whose career had been ruined by her involvement in the incident at Abu Gharib.

Knowing more ... Rachel Shelley part 2

Hi LesPlanet's girls, I bring the second part of knowing more Rachel Shelley, in this part of them tells us about his character and how it feels to be Helena Peabody, and many anecdotes and things that have happened ... I hope you like it.

Rachel: Always going to be some sense of feeling uncomfortable when wheels scenes involving some nudity. Obviously you are feeling vulnerable .... But the actor's role is to overcome that and show a different intention and not show your dissatisfaction. You have to leave it behind.

Rachel: (answering to whether there is any possibility that he fell in love with another woman) who knows .... never say never! I mean I'm not happened yet, but there's still time!

Rachel: A phone ringing, high enough to be above the hate steam from the shower head banging my hangover. The answering machine jumps, then you will hear an Indian voice: "Er, Rachel, if you can be at the hotel in 90 minutes we have an entry for yourself for the ceremony. Please call me. " Everything, even the drops of water flying out of the shower, appeared to have stopped for a split second.

And that's how I went to the Oscars. With her hair wet in the back of the limo, bad hair removal and without a pedicure.

Rachel: (speaking of the hearings) You say you feel that you morning, you run your best jokes, after you do it again but better. They recorded on video the whole process. It's similar to Crufts, although fortunately no one has inspected my teeth too close or has reviewed the humidity of my nose.

Rachel: In London, if I have two or three auditions in one week the hectic feel. In LA during pilot season it is normal to have two or three sessions a day.

Rachel: As an actress, you just live the fray through your agent. And that is why what I love to my agent, she makes all discussions of business on my behalf. Imagine having someone (someone with whom you do not have to lie down at the end of the night) in the queue outside the club for you, so you just have to come directly and not pretend that you've never done anything so vulgar as beg and bribe your entry. Of course, you have to pay it, but they deserve every penny. A picture on the red carpet is priceless, and you do not want an aggravating circumstance it blew it.

Rachel: Helena and I are merged into one single person. I pass more time with her than with any other these days, and it's a mess in my mind.

Rachel: The Americans believe that the English accent accentuates a trait of the character. Most likely in the U.S. can be a character as a villain or a sexual predator, when I was more at home as "the butter does not melt."

Rachel: The scenes of sex with actresses are easier than with men, they are supportive and to overcome not dreaming any lines of personal comfort. Unlike some actors I could mention.

Rachel: To interpret a lesbian is not so different as to play a heterosexual. I've played a whore, a doctor, an aristocrat lady, and believe me I am not any of those things either.

Rachel: Respect for these people in my life who manage to enjoy the little things, even when life is bullshit. People who are impatient to enjoy life regardless of the circumstances. People who work hard, generous, passionate and eager to laugh.

Alexandra Hedison (Dylan): (About Rachel) Oh my God ... .. she is fantastic. She is too beautiful, there really is no law. No one should act in reality with it. Nobody should be on the same roll with it because it is really unfair, it is horribly unfair.

Do you invite me a cup of coffee and talk about this post?
