Jenna Fischer in Marie Claire
Tuesday, August 12th, 2008 | 48 commentsI received this email from Jenna Fischer yesterday:
Hello!
Attached is a feature I did for the September issue of Marie Claire on newsstands now. The magazine shot a bunch of TV folks and the photos are all amazing!
The photographer is the same guy who shot my nude photo for Jane magazine a couple of years ago. I often get nervous during photo shoots. I just feel out of my element.
After doing a number of these, I have gained a new respect for models. It is not easy to pose for photos! This photographer only uses natural light, which makes the whole thing feel very candid and relaxed. It was a really neat experience.
I shot the same day as Elizabeth Reaser — she’s the coolest. The crew were all talking about how fun Molly Shannon and Selma Blair were to work with. They were first up for the day and already finished by the time I arrived. I was sorry to miss them!
There is a tiny spoiler about the upcoming season in the mini-interview.
I wasn’t allowed to say any more than that. Enjoy!Jenna
Thank you, Jenna, for sharing this! Photo after the jump.

You can view a full-sized version of the page here.
the only thing that upsets me about this article is the fact that her dress costs $3700.
Hey, absence makes the heart grow fonder. And we know with Jim & Pam that definitely rings true. So, yea..not worried. (Maybe a little..) =)
Kitty-
You know Amy Adams was up for Pam. I’m not sure but I remember reading somewhere she was very high in the running. I guess the producers were looking for a certain type.
I believe it has been said the JAM engagement storyline will be resolved early on. Long distance shouldn’t be too hard for future Jim & Pam Halpert. =)
lol @ tanster!
What a beautiful shot Jenna! She looks a bit like Amy Adams here :)
The last known photograph of Jenna Fischer. Sad.
[from tanster: *sniffle*]
Jenna is just beautiful, and she seems like such a down to earth person which just makes you love her all the more. I agree with #39. They have to know they would lose a large portion of their viewing audience if JAM broke up. I don’t mind a little growing pains, but I can’t watch Jim get his heart broken again. I can’t remember ever enjoying watching a happy sitcom couple the way I enjoy Jim and Pam. :)
While I agree with you, Dunder Daisey, the writers may break up JAM. I for one will HATE it if that happens, but it seems to happen a lot in T.V. shows. Take Gilmore Girls, and Ugly Betty for example. The writers may break them up, but fans will keep watching to see if they get back together. But writers, if you read this, DON’T BREAK UP JAM!!
:-) I have the feeling the writers are fully aware of the disastrous repercussions that would fall upon them if they dared to break up JAM. There would be major fan-archy (hey, I just made up a word!) and I don’t think they’d want that.
And Jenna looks just breathtaking in that photo. Just goes to show how amazing the makeup people are at TO!
Beautiful photo.
The S5 tease just makes me itch that much more for Sept. 25th!
lovely picture! Jenna is gorgeous. I am just so excited for S5 I don’t care what happens. (okay that is SUCH a lie!) but let’s hope “it’s all goood” as Michael would say.
I don’t mind if they get a little conflict in their storyline. That’s normal. But please to god, no breakup. That might be fine for a normal sitcom, but not for The Office.
Okay, the suspense is not fun!! I can hardly wait until Sept. 25th!!! I REALLY believe the writers know how PERFECT jim/pam are…they won’t ruin it!!! I DO hope we get to see some GOOD JAM interaction!! Not all long-distance?????!! :)
you know she doesn’t actually say anything *bad* happens, she just says they have to “deal with it”. so i am not panicking, yet…
Lovely
What a beautiful photo of Jenna! Loved the interview–ha ha, 14 hoodies! She is so wonderfully down to earth, it’s awesome.
Many of the actors, writers, crew etc. probably have some level of personal experience with long distance relationships, so they will be able to glean some great, funny real life situations related to that for this season. I can’t wait to see what they come up with!
Jenna looks beautiful!
I don’t think I like that spoiler…
All I can say is that she is an incredibly gorgeous woman.
jenna, you’re gorgeous! i’m sure they were talking about how fun she was to work with too. i can’t wait for season 5 to see what happens!
