Jenna Fischer in ALIVE Magazine

Monday, December 11th, 2006

Check out an interview (and stunning photos!) of Jenna from the December issue of ALIVE Magazine in St. Louis, Jenna’s hometown.

Some excerpts:

KH: Do they ever have to do multiple takes because you’re cracking up at a funny scene?

JF: I laugh a lot—and I mess up the most takes either by laughing or sneezing. The editor was putting together the DVD and said he wants to insert a track just with all the takes I’ve messed up from sneezing because I have bad allergies. I have allergy pills hidden all over the place—in my bedroom, in my purse, in my trailer. [Ironically, cats are one of the things she’s allergic to.]

KH: Maybe Pam should just have allergies!

JF: I know, they should just write that in next season. But sometimes we’ll be taking a scene and I’ll be holding in a sneeze and my eyes start watering and they’ll be like, “We can’t use that either; it looks like Pam’s crying!”

Reason #563 for loving JF:
JF: When I was here over Christmas I went to the mall for the after-Christmas sales and got recognized a lot. People just said, “You look so much like that girl on ‘The Office.’” I said, “There’s a reason for that.”

Haaaaha! Thanks for posting this tanster, never would’ve seen it otherwise.

She should totally do SNL. That would be great to see. She’s friends with Fred Armisen anyway so why not host once?

I agree w/ the article that she has an understated beauty. She’s naturally a pretty girl but she’s not in your face and intimidating.

re: message #5

I’m a photographer, and I can guarantee that every photo in every magazine you see has been retouched in some way–cover shots doubly so.

That said, Jenna doesn’t need a lot of “retouching” per se. That is, they’re not doing as drastic a job as they would on, say, Joan Rivers or Nick Nolte.

Still, it’s a good rule to remember: NOTHING you see in magazine photos or ads are “real.”

When I saw this picture the first thing I said was “Wow!” I got to agree with jim; she is so hot.

@fat halpert

how does the format have ANYTHING to do with the writing? it doesn’t mean they’re a bad writer, it means they made a decision to write it a certain way. it didn’t bother me. rewrite it yourself if you’re so disturbed…

What’s the blurb on the cover about “Feature: OfficeTally.com”? ?
That for real?
Go, tanster!!

whoever wrote that article was horrible. If the writer always wanted to throw in her little comments [in square brackets] she shouldn’t have went with the Q/A interview layout. what a n00b

Yes, quite the glamorpus. She looks lovely, but not completely comfortable. To me.
