You may remember Eliza from Bring It On, The Alphabet Killer and True Lies but she's most famous for her television work as Echo in this year's Dollhouse, Tru Davies in the short lived series Tru Calling and, of course, the role that made her a star, Faith Lehane, vampire slayer gone bad in the cult hit Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchise.

I’m sure everyone’s already heard that Fox put a stopper in the 13th episode of Dollhouse this season, which created kind of a panic that the show wouldn’t be picked up again. But series creator Joss Whedon has “Hope” at PaleyFest 09:
“So right now I’ve gone from a sort of place of ‘You don’t even care, nobody loves me’ [laughs] to a place of God, I can’t believe I’m saying this … hope.
“We might actually get the chance to do what we’re dying to do, which is tell more of these stories with these crazy people because we have so many more yet to come,” Whedon said of the series in which Eliza Dushku (“Buffy”) plays an “active” whose memory is wiped and replaced to suit various “engagements.”
“Basically it’s what happens in the next few weeks; we have a new lead-in (replacing ‘Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles’), we have a few more episodes coming up — whether it’s 12 or 13 — they are fierce,” he added. “They are ridiculous; I am so proud of them. We’re going to go out this season with a bang, and hopefully we’ll get to come back for Season 2.”
Whedon said Episode 13, which Fox has said will not air and instead be included on the DVD, was “made on the cheap” and is a “strange and to me extraordinarily lovely episode and they weren’t necessarily going to air it and Fox studios was kind of going, ‘This is DVD extras. … We’ll sell all the DVDs [mock laughter].’ And I’ve been saying that I want this to air as part of the season. … The jury is out on that.”
Added a stunning 7 MQ photo shoot from the April 2009 issue of Saturday Night Magazine:
How did Dollhouse come about? I read that you and Joss Whedon came up with the idea over lunch. Is that really what happened?
It is. Joss and I have been buddies since back in the Buffy days, and I was 17. He quickly became a big brother, mentor and ally and we’ve stayed friends over the years. When I was trying to figure out what to do next in my career and what projects I wanted to do I met with Fox and they expressed interest in developing a show together so we worked out a year-long film and television development deal. I called Joss about a week later and asked him to go to lunch and somewhere in the four-hour lunch we came up with the idea for the show.
And 4 from the Spring 2009 issue of Boston Common:
What does it mean to you to be from Boston?
I’ve been out in LA for 10 years, but I’m still a Boston girl at heart. I really think I’d like to end up there one day. Every time I come home and drive through the toll on the Mass Pike I get shout-outs.
Sorry this took me so long to get up, but I’ve been having PC issues all day and night. Eliza’s appearence on Late Night with Conan O’Brien on the 12th has been added to the video archive – screencaptures coming soon:
Happy Valentine’s Day!
