Kristin Bauer Explores Pam

Kristin Bauer recently attended Phoenix ComiCon, and Phoenix New Times blog, Jackalope Ranch, sat down with her to delve into the snarky, deadpan character of Pam on True Blood. No spoilers of course, but she talks about exploring Pam’s relationship with Eric as well as addressing the issue of cement in her hair. 😉

What can you tell us about the upcoming season of True Blood? I’m sure you’ve been sworn to secrecy.
Yeah, on fear of death, literally (laughs).

So if you reveal too much, HBO might send some vampires or werewolves after you?
Yeah, they’d send the witches, werewolves and vampires after me. Pam is in dire straits this year. I personally love when I watch TV to see the characters that I love get pushed to their limits. They did that to Pam last year as well and she had a more vulnerable response at the thought of losing her maker [Eric Northman]. And this year she’s lost him in a sense because he’s lost his memory. I can’t tell you more than that what happens but it was really exciting and challenging for me to play and to see this other side of Pam. (Read the entire interview at Jackalope Ranch.)
