A Conversation with Captain Howdy: The Fangoria Interview with Eileen Dietz

28 November 2009 7:01 PM, PST | Fangoria | See recent Fangoria news »

With vast experience on stage and screen (big and small), Eileen Dietz' career has woven a path in-and-out of the horror genre. While horror fans will no doubt associate the actress with her role as the face of evil in William Friedkin's Oscar-winning 1973 film The Exorcist, Dietz has many stories to tell. Fangoria's Australian correspondent Lee Gambin recently sat down for a one-on-one interview to discuss her career and craft.

Lee Gambin/Fangoria: What were some of your very first jobs in the entertainment industry, as I understand you started super young and how did the Neighborhood Playhouse Theatre School benefit you as a young actress?

Eileen Dietz: I worked at a Summer Stock company in Kalamazoo Michigan. It was a very bad place and the director of the theatre only brought me up there to rob me of my innocence if you know what I mean. »

I'm coming a little late to Katie Holmes's performance last night on So You Think You Can Dance, her much-anticipated homage to Judy Garland's "Get Happy" number from Summer Stock. And while I wouldn't say Holmes embarrassed herself to the extent this morning's haters seem to believe, no one can really argue that it's a good thing the show isn't called So You Think You Can Lip Sync. »
