For the time that I was there, I can only laud the production values. The work, the sets, a location at the Quarry in the first three episodes, were anything but low-budget. The set for the aliens in the studio was unbelievable. I was stunned when I first saw this immense cave that was to become our 'home.' Shooting for TV is always rushed, but I was never aware of any 'lowbudgetness' for the time I was actually on the set.

Ha! I got one fan letter from a visually impaired fellow who thought I 'looked' really hot as a terrorist. He requested a full length photo.

It was not a show that I would watch on TV myself. Dormant aliens brought back to life ... to wreak havoc on the world-come on! You must understand, actors are not necessarily concerned with concept. Nobody ever really explained (to me] what the concept really was. You go in there, do the job as best as you can-usually totally uninformed. I had absolutely no idea what was going on at the audition. Some terrorist thing, I was told. `Look stern. Dress in black.' I was handed a couple of pages of script that made no rhyme or reason. I guess I have the look they wanted, and [the fact] that I could play a German terrorist, with a German accent, got me the job. - discussing how she landed her role as an Advocate member/Urick on War of the Worlds
