September 17, 2007: Laura Vandervoort Interview and Magazine Coverage

With "Smallville" Season 7 almost upon us, the show's newest cast member, Laura Vandervoort is the focus of a couple of magazine covers and articles.

Stuff magazine features Laura on the cover of the latest issue of the magazine (on newsstands now), and also contains a gallery of photos and an interview...

Were you a Superman fan?

I was a fan of the Christopher Reeve movies, Smallville and Superman Returns. I didn't really read the comics.

So have you been studying up?

Oh, yeah, I've been reading the Supergirl comic books. I didn't know a lot about her background and history, so I'm excited to know that stuff now. I'm very new to it, but I love her. Plus, this version of Kara is based on the updated, relaunched character. She's much more edgy and has a lot more attitude than previous versions.

How do she and Clark get along?

Kara and Clark have some disagreements over hiding their abilities. She doesn't have a problem with showing them to the world, so Clark has to tell her she can't just use her laser beams to cook something. Basically, she's trying to fit in as a teenage girl on Earth - you know, what clothes to wear and all that kind of stuff.

Laura is also featured on the cover of the U.K. magazine SciFiNow, which has an inside article on Season 7 of "Smallville". There's also a "Smallville" article in the October issue of "SciFi" magazine.
