Dellussk: I was wondering if you intend to star in any other horror movie, and if so, what type of horror movie would that be? I was also wondering what other types of movies you would like to star in.

Marley Shelton: I have no immediate plans to do another horror film. But I'm a huge fan of suspense thriller type movies and I'd love to do one in the future. I'd also really love to do a period piece.

Bulbasaurus: What do you do when you aren't working? I'd like to know about your hobbies.

Marley Shelton: I have tons of hobbies and a very eclectic personality. I could do anything from salsa dancing to hiking to going to the movies to eating at a great restaurant.

Ben's Dad: You must be having a lot of fun acting and working with such talented people. What would you be doing if you weren't an actress?

Marley Shelton: I get asked that all the time, and I have no idea. Thank God I'm doing what I love. I'm very fortunate.

Buffygrl23: I am so jealous that you got to work with David Boreanaz! He is so dreamy! What was he like to work with? By the way, loved the movie!

Marley Shelton: David was the best. He's incredibly charismatic and funny. He had the cast and crew constantly laughing. It was his first feature film, so I felt very honored to be acting along side him. I'm so glad you liked the film. Yay!

TOuReTtEs TyPiSt: The entertainment business has taken some heat about content lately. How free are actors to say No to scripts, and if they do say No, how does this affect their careers?

Marley Shelton: Part of an actor's job is to say Yes and No often. It comes with the territory. It's hard to make these career choices because you never know how a film will turn out. But it's a responsibility that just goes along with what we do.

Partygirl2000: What made you want to be an actress? Who was your inspiration in wanting to become one?

Marley Shelton: I think I've wanted to be an actress since I was about 4 years old. A lot of my family is involved in the performing arts, so I grew up in an environment that was conducive to creativity. I could give you a laundry list of actors who I admire and who inspire me. But I think the desire to act was just in my genes.

Johnnyboy: You are a fabulous actress! Do you have any plans to get behind the camera and produce or direct films?

Marley Shelton: Well, I produced a short film called "Protect-O-man," which was a great experience because I'm somewhat of a control freak and I love calling the shots creatively. But I have no plans in the near future to produce or direct.

NJ 24 Hottie: Marley, I saw you at the Red Carpet premiere. You looked stunning. Who designed your dress?

Marley Shelton: Donna Karan. Thanks for the compliment, by the way.

NJ 24 Hottie: Hi Marley. I think you are beautiful and a fabulous actress. Do you get mobbed by fans when you go out in public?

Marley Shelton: First of all, thanks! Sometimes people mistake me for Heather Graham, but so far that's about the closest I've come to being mobbed.

NJ 24 Hottie: You are so naturally pretty. Do you have any beauty secrets to share?

Marley Shelton: Good lighting and a good cameraman. No, just kidding. Thanks a lot.
