The beautiful 32 year old star of the hit Pushing Daisies graces the cover of PageSix Magazine this weekend.  She has the screen siren from the 40’s look about her, doesn’t she?

She talks about life with her partner, David Thewlis and being told she could never have children.

On being told it would be difficult for her to have children:

“Knowing that, there was one time that we were perhaps not as careful as we should have been, and bang-o– I was pregnant.  I thought, well, so much for ‘it’s going to be difficult.’ I was 28, and it was the best thing ever.”

On her relationship with partner David Thewlis:

“He thinks it’s something really romantic, us never having gotten married. It doesn’t mean we’re not committed, but we don’t need to change anything because things are quite good. Plus we have a child, which is the most bonded thing you can have, anyway.”

On why she’ll never give in to Hollywood’s stick-thin mold:

“I’m not going to come to L.A. and be anorexic.  I’ve still got shape.  I eat healthily because that’s how I was brought up – I never reach for Cocoa Puffs in the morning.”

On her onscreen kiss with a woman, in 1993, on the English soap Brookside:

“It caused a major uproar because it was the first ever lesbian kiss on [prime-time] television. It was quite risky then, but it sounds funny now to think what a shock it caused.  It wasn’t even this huge, big snog…though maybe tongues were slipped.”

On her favorite American actresses:

“I like all the old-school ones… Natalie Wood, Edie Sedgewick, Audrey Hepburn.”
