 As the fourth season of Smallville gathered speed, questions
were already starting to be asked about Jason Teague, the mysterious
stranger who had come into lana's life during her stay in Paris,
and who had now followed her home to Smallville.
Fans were unsurprisingly excited to hear that another layer to the mystery
would he added with the arrival on the show of Jason's mother, the enigmatic
Genevieve, and even more exited by the announcement that she would be played
by Jane Seymour best known for her role as Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman, her
appearance in the original Battlestar Galactica and as Solitaire opposite
Roger Moore in his first appearance as James Bond in Live and let Die.
As the year went on, Genevieve has slowly but surely showed her hand, leading
to her terminal appearance in the season's final episode,Commencement.
Shortly before she went up to Vancouver to film her confrontation with
Lionel Luthor in Ageless back-to-back with her farewell scenes, she graciously
spent some time talking about her stint on the series, and her other connections
to the Superman legend, through her close friendship with her co-star in
the 1980 movie Somewhere in Time, Christopher Reeve.
"I didn't know very much about Smallville," she admits freely. "Obviously
my friend Christopher Reeve had done it, and I think that I saw the first
episode that he'd done (Rosetta), but I didn't really know Smallville very well
at all. I had to catch up very fast." |
