|  This article mentions GW and has a little Q&A with Love and Aisha Tyler... Here are those parts (for the full article, click Here.: And on "The Ghost Whisperer," Jennifer Love Hewitt passes messages from ghosts to humans, while also running a small business and a new marriage. "They're guy roles for women," Hewitt says of this bumper crop of acting parts. Jennifer Love Hewitt, "The Ghost Whisperer" Q. There are a lot of female leads right now. A. Because women. Kick. Butt! Q. You're part of that. A. Now I just have to be the one that doesn't fail, and then I'll be fine. Q. You're crying a lot in the show. Do you take that emotion with you when you go home? A. You actually get rid of it. ... This show is great for me in that way, it's very cathartic. I get a lot out through [the character] every day, which is lovely. So I actually get to go home and do the opposite -- I get to go home and just breathe and be happy. Q. Will such a heavy part affect your acting? A. I do think that I have an immense opportunity to become a better actor on this show, because to play her I have to be an incredible listener, which is hard to do as an actress, sometimes. You hear the lines 17,000 times in a day, you know? But you have to be a great listener every time. That's what [the character] does for these people. Aisha Tyler, "The Ghost Whisperer" Q. A lot of shows have strong women this year. What's your reaction?, A. Yeah, absolutely. I think maybe in the past, television networks didn't think that men would watch strong women. But I think you have a lot of shows on television now that have women in the leads. And they're doing really well. Q. The women that are in these shows are, like, women saving the world. They're not hookers with a heart of gold. A. No, it's a far cry from "Pretty Woman," or even strong women in movies from 10 years ago or five years ago who were being saved by men. I think there's a trend now that it's the women who are saving the world. You have movies like "Kill Bill," and you have movies like "Lara Croft: Tomb Raider." ... They're not screaming and shrieking while the guy comes and lifts up the car and chases away the bad guy. Essentially, in three of the last four roles I played, I was a multi-degreed scientist. And some woman [asked], "Are you upset about being typecast as a scientist?" I was, like, "Is a black woman upset because she keeps getting cast as someone with a Ph.D? I don't think so." |
