SEPTEMBER 22, 2002 - Ashley Talks About her Dyslexia

Teenhollywood.com had an interview with Ashley and Dina Meyer (to see the full interview, click here).

The article is "Dina Meyer and Ashley Scott: Flying High September 18, 2002 by Lynn Barker".

Here is the introduction for the article:

Hot actresses Dina Meyer and Ashley Scott play Oracle (the former Batgirl) and Huntress (daughter of Batman and Catwoman) in the new WB sci-fi/action series Birds of Prey which is based on the DC comic book. Red-haired Dina is well known to sci-fi fans for her roles in Johnny Mnemonic, Starship Troopers and the new Star Trek: Nemesis where she’ll play a Romulan Commander. Brunette Ashley Scott was a model, was a sexy femmebot in the film A.I. and played a Robin Hood style criminal in the Dark Angel TV series. We recently caught up with these pretty birdies at a Warner Brothers poolside rooftop party atop the famous Hollywood and Highland complex next to the new Kodak Theater.

Below are the parts where Ashley was interviewed.

Ashley, naturally slim, is into cooking, watching the food channel on TV and horseback riding. She wasn’t a fan of the comic but took learning about the Huntress character seriously. "I read her character background. This girl went through a lot. She lost her mother and there’s a lot of anger behind that. I have a lot of friends who’ve lost parents. They’re angry at the time. They gave me a little rundown but I just made it up and I hope it works for the fans." Being a rebel with an attitude was something that came naturally to the actress. Part of her own anger stemmed from a problem with dyslexia. "I’ve always been a good kid. I was raised incredibly well, I’m a loving person but when I was younger I gave [rebellion] a good go. I was very active but I was dyslexic and had a really hard time at school. You have some anger from that. I think a lot of my rebellion came from being angry from the get-go. I’m so thankful that nowadays there are ways to detect it early."

Ashley’s reading problem still effects her work today but she copes beautifully. "I have a hard time retaining the lines. Even on set I make mistakes but I’m okay with that. Writing is weird. I have trouble with print so I write cursive and in my mind that writes properly. I’ll read a paragraph and go off but I’ll read it again. I try to get my scripts a week earlier and work three times harder. But I make it. Other actors flub their lines too."

Ashley admitted that her rebellion started at an early age with tattoos and a tongue-piercing. "Mom was not impressed. I was young and thought it was hip and cool. I read for a Disney film so I took it out and I couldn’t talk well. Now, for this show, they like it but I have a fear that I’ll be 30 years old [she’s 25] with my tongue pierced. My tattoo is a phoenix. I got the first when I was 16. I hid it for years. My mom saw the tattoo on my back through a white dress and I had to come clean. I’m done for now. I made a promise that when I’m 50, if I want another one…we’ll see."

Ashley has always been impressed with catwoman, her 'mom' now deceased in the show. "I love Michelle [Pfeiffer]. I’m trying for her kind of catty style and wit. But she hasn’t got anything on my real mom, though."

The actress is sure the show’s femme appeal will please fans. "It’s great just having three active young women. I think it’s nice to see three strong women on TV out there doing what’s right."

On the Index Page I've placed a new photo that the WB have put out to promote Birds of Prey. It features the new costume for Huntress.

JULY 27, 2002 - Dark Angel, R.I.P.

This fall, there will be no Dark Angel, since it is canceled. Ashley only had a small part in that show, anyway. She only appeared on a low number of episodes. But this show, which pointed out that Ashley could do an action role in a tv series, probably helped her land the Huntress role in Birds of Prey. So Dark Angel may be gone, but it's not forgotten.
