Talk:Kristen Bell

Reefer Madness

There is no mention of her appearing in the Reefer Madness musical, and only a passing reference is made to the movie. - Matthew238 05:08, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Bad picture

I'm curious if we could get a -worse- picture of Ms. Bell....

Just changed the picture to a better one. Hope you enjoy! - rvb_strongbad 07:26, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just added 2 fair use TV screenshots, one from the Late Late Show for the profile pic, and one from Emmy Idol. --TheTruthiness 22:18, 25 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Polish-Americans?

Does anyone have a good, first-hand source for her Polish ancestry? Every site I could find was shaky. I believe this info originally came from the IMDB, who now say she's of Irish descent! Anyway, until there's something first-hand (like an interview) I'll remove the category. MadJack 06:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kristen Bell, Interview on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, March 14, 2005. Video clip: http://www.neptune-high.net/video/cast/bell.php. Starting ~2:30 mark.

Weirdly enough, this interview says she comes from an "Irish family".[1] The Ellen interview is more reliable, and gives the impression that Bell meant her whole family is Polish. I'm guessing the interviewer for Parade might've looked her up on the IMDB, where at the time it said she was Irish, and put that fact in his article without actually asking her... but I'm not sure Mad Jack O'Lantern 18:04, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Diminutive size and petite figure

The series Veronica Mars makes frequent self deprecating jokes about Kristen's size. For example in the Episode "Mars Vs Mars" she hides in a small compartment in the bathroom and remarks how she knows she is petite and it comes in handy some times. In series two in an episode where she receives a consultation from a plastic surgeon who says he wouldn't change a thing, another character later comments similarly but with a suggestion about increasing her chest size. I found it an interesting coincidence that her episode in Everwood was also about - entirely unnecessary - breast enlargement. Perhaps someone else can find an interesting way to integrate these coincidences into the description of Ms. Bell in an amusing way. It suggests she has a healthy body image, good self image and sense of humor to go along with repeated jokes at her own expense (either that or she is externalises the character from herself and doesn't take it personally but I prefer to think she well developed sense of humor).
