Winging It
”THE WEST WING is such a great show!” So raves former White House intern Eden Riegel (Bianca) of NBC’s hit drama. “That’s what it’s like to work in the White House, I swear. I think it’s all pretty accurate.” Well, not entirely, the actress admits, when pressed. “The one thing I had a beef with,” Riegel explains, “was when one of the interns found out that Leo [the chief of staff] was a former alcoholic, and leaked it to the press. Of course, she got fired. But then Leo called her into his office, talked to her about it, and he gave her her job back! Oh, come on! She took a piece of private information and leaked it – you cannot do that. So that was one thing that wasn’t quite right.” One things for certain, however; WEST WING press secretary C.J. is Riegel’s favorite character. “She’s really cool,” she enthuses. “I would really love to have C.J.’s job.” ABC Soaps in Depth
