采访内容：
HollywoodChicago.com: Why do people think the fact that you’re single is so exotic? Are they just jealous?
Dana Delany: [Laughs] I think it’s just not what we’re brought up to do, that’s all.
HC: Are the way men and women nurtured, and then attempting to come together when the time comes, part of the problem?
DD: I’m hoping more boys being raised by Baby Boomers are getting a different perspective.
HC: You have portrayed the birth control advocate Margaret Sanger and have participated in celebrating her legacy. As a woman in a generation that was generally freed from being lashed to pregnancy, what do you think your generation, and subsequent generations of women, owe as a debt of gratitude to Ms. Sanger?
DD: So much. If it wasn’t for birth control there would be more abortions, and that is what it’s about, birth control is to prevent having abortions. Not just that, it’s also a political issue, at the point of history rich woman could have abortions and poor women couldn’t. Sanger evened the playing field.
HC: What do you appreciate about the Superman legend that you didn’t before you voiced Lois Lane on the various incarnations of the animated series?
DD: [Laughs] I’ve always been a Superman fan. I grew up reading those comics.
HC: Is he the perfect guy?
DD: He is. He’s the Nietzschean ideal. [Laughs]
HC: You were the lead in the infamous ‘Exit to Eden.’ What was the greatest challenge in performing the role of Lisa and what was your reaction to the notoriety after the release?
DD: The greatest challenge to me is that world makes me sad. When I did the research on it and met people in that world, it made me sad, because that is the only way they can find pleasure in life. And so that was hard. And the notoriety afterward is more about how our country is so weird about sex. I mean we’re such a Protestant country still. It was almost a vitriolic reaction to it, it took me aback.
HC: As a prime mover in arts advocacy through Creative Coalition, what do you think the current business model of motion pictures lack in the contribution of that aforementioned creative side?
DD: That’s a tough one. It is a business, we can’t forget it’s show business. So artists, if they really want to create art it will have to be elsewhere, it will have to be with things that don’t expect to make money. And that’s where we need to have help. That’s all. So people can be experimental, there is no room for experiment anymore.
HC: What character in your career have you most connected to, reflecting you most as a person and an actor?
DD: China Beach. That was closest to who I am.
HC: Do you think you’ll get a challenge later that might change that?
DD: I hope so. I think this new job [on ABC-TV’s Body of Proof] is kind of familiar to me, this role.
HC: Finally, as a working actor, what frustrates you most about the process of audition and being cast at this point in your career?
DD: It’s just a given, no matter how old you are or what point in your career you’re at, you’re still going to have to prove yourself. It just never ends. But maybe that’s life. Somebody will bring up Vanessa Redgrave’s name, but then say ‘yeah, but can she be funny?’ It will always be ‘yeah…but…’ [Laughs]
