Crystal Chappell Speaks on Being Sexy

Crystal Chappell TV Guide Canada has a message for Angelina Jolie: watch your back! Guiding Light’s Crystal Chappell proves you don’t have to be rail-thin to be hot!

The magazine recently talked with the Guiding Light star:

TVGuide.ca: It must be lonely being so sexy, gorgeous, and talented, huh? Let’s talk about your beauty for a moment: you prove you don’t have to be rail-thin to be sexy and I’ve always admired that.
Crystal Chappell: Wow — thank you every much! That’s nice to hear! [laughs] Yes, I prefer to be healthy and don’t want to starve myself. I did starve myself in my 20s — and it became unhealthy. And I succeeded; I was 112 pounds and very miserable! I think curves are beautiful.

TVG: As a mother, do you worry about this unrealistic and dangerous image Hollywood is promoting?
Chappell: Yes, it worries me. As a mom, you worry about these girls who are obsessed with being thin and unhealthy. We certainly need to clear this up in this business before it gets out of hand and people start dying. Call me crazy but I enjoy seeing women with wrinkles and fuller figures; I think it’s beautiful.

Crystal Chappell Dishes on Guiding Light Cast

Crystal Chappell recently talked with CBS about various Guiding Light characters, actors and story lines.

Here's a summary of what she had to say:

Who would she like to work with?
Ricky Paull Goldin [Gus] - I don't think we've ever worked together - in passing maybe. And it's certainly nice to have Danny Cosgrove [Bill] back. And even Marcy Rylan [Lizzie]. We haven't really had much to do in a long time. So, it's really fun. There's a lot coming down the road, which complicates [Olivia's] life and sends her in a different direction for a while.

On Olivia and Gus
It's a friendship but then something happens in her life that sort of makes her really value the time that she has. And he's a great friend to her through all that. So, after a period of time, she does start to feel something more for him.

Working with Ricky Paull Goldin
I've known him for 15 years. Ricky's a writer so it's fun to sit and rehearse with him. He tries to make it sound as real as possible, so he's very loose and flexible that way and it works for me too because we're always tweaking stuff just to make it flow a little easier off the tongue. I think there's a nice energy there. We'll see what happens. So far it's completely platonic.
