September 25, 2002: Kristin Kreuk in Vancouver Magazine

The September 2002 issue of the Vancouver Magazine has a feature article on Kristin Kreuk who plays Lana Lang in "Smallville". Here's an excerpt from the article titled "The Star Next Door"...

She doesn't really like to be noticed. But Kristin Kreuk is, like a Russian sub in American waters, an undeniable radar pull. She has perfect skin, a mega-watt smile, dimples, doe eyes.

"I've always said I wanted to have Storm's superpowers, from X-Men, because she can control the weather," says the 19-year-old, who just recently moved from the Mount Pleasant family home and into her own condo. When she was in high school, she says, she would pretend to be Storm, who possesses the perfect superpower for this rain-flogged city. "I would go down the big stairs through the walkway at City Hall. It would be dark, it would be winter, there'd be wind, and I'd concentrate really hard, and I'd think that I was controlling the weather," says Kreuk, her long dark hair still damp from the shower - perfect, nonetheless - as she sits relaxing before her photo shoot for this magazine begins. "I'd just completely imagine things like that. I don't know. I'm strange sometimes. I just want to fly.
