AMC: Actress leaves!

[Mr. Vixen]

I would have NEVER guess Rebecca Herbst was older than MCE.

[SFK]

I would totally assume RH was older just out of my sense of timeline of her career vs. MCE's, but I think MCE funked with her lips and perhaps other parts of her face a bit at some point and that put age on her. Kind of like Hisssstal C^nt, girls getting their faces injected for fad when they really didn't need it yet.

[DeeeDee]

RH definitely looks her age.

[marceline]

Thank you! I thought I was imagining things. MCE definitely did something to her lips and it was a bad idea. Then the folks in makeup heaped these gobs of gloss on her and it made her look like she'd been hit in the mouth with a bottle of KY jelly.

She's a beautiful woman with a banging bod. I hope she stays away from other "augmentations." That's another probem I have with the move to LA. The LA standard of beauty is very different from the NY look.

I wonder if it was just bad makeup but there for awhile MCE/Annie had a orange thing happening with her skin, as did Jamie Luner. I dunno if it was over tanning or what.

[DeeeDee]

LOL

[Pine Charles]

MCE's lips are natural.

She did commercials and ads when she was a kid (like 13), and her lips look the same.... unless she had collagen injections in middle school.

[dragonflies]

I swear I remember MCE once saying something about her lips cause she'd been asked about them before. Let me look around and see if I find something

[Adam]

Its funny all of you here are going on about her lips, lips I've never really noticed. Watching today's episode after seeing this discussion its as plain as day to me! Funny how our brains work and what we sub-consciously deem important to focus on and what not too.

[SFK]

I can believe that they're natural, they just pout and curl in a way we're used to seeing as unnatural, especially when they're all KY'd up like marceline was saying. But there's just something about her look that seems like an injectable or two has been up in that face.

Love your Avvie.

From SOD:

Egan Not Done at AMC

"People are saying that I taped my last scenes on January 11; I don't know where that came from," reports Melissa Claire Egan, who is in the throes of filming her final episodes as Annie. "For the record, I'm not done yet! I'm still working this week!" The character will last air on March 21.

^Thanks for the info!!

March 21, that's a lot of time...I'll savor watching Annie in this next month and a half!!

[dragonflies]

From MIchael Logan in TV Guide, something we already guessed:

He's reporting Annie will go to the "nuthouse" on March 21st

Thanks to DontStare at SOC:

MCE reveals that she's shocked her exit news didn't come out sooner. It's basically been a done deal since her contract ended in 6/2010. She talks about how much she loves AMC...but she's 29 now and she wants to mix it up. It's not about finding something better, it's about finding something new. She talks about EP JHC and how hard it was to tell her. She told Julie she can't stay for another year but she didn't want to leave immediately. They settled on 7 more months. It still hasn't really hit her (MCE) that she's leaving. She reveals that she told Chrishell and Cameron early on. She also talks about the fans & how happy she is that most are happy, excited for her. She thinks the writers did an incredible job sending Annie off in style. They will detail more about that next week.
