Lisa Edelstein
Dr Lisa Cuddy on the Fox drama House.
1. Describe yourself as if you were writing a personals ad.
Hot and bothered yogini with very flexible hips looking for brilliant and hilarious guru/master of the universe. Must like dogs.
2. If you had two tickets to paradise, where would you go and who would you take?
A tropical jungle with a huge waterfall. Mosquitos and cockroaches are not invited, but the following men are: super cool journalist Kevin Sites or his cute producer; Brad Pitt when he was in Fight Club; my ex-boyfriend, the Italian whom I'd still take back (cue: aww); or that guy I haven't met yet who's T, D & H, smart as a whip, and funny as hell. Where the fuck is he, anyway?
3. Who plays you in the movie?
Omar Epps. It's so obvious. Or okay, Melina Kanakaredes may WANT to but it's not going to happen. Were she still alive, and were the time/space continuum a bit flexible, I'd beg – absolutely beg – Anne Bancroft. "Please be me", I'd say, "so I can pretend I am you!"
4. Who do you go to for advice?
Who DON'T I go to for advice?
5. What makes you cry?
The search for America's Next Top Model.
Bonus: Toilet roll – over or under?
I tell you, it's an issue. (A tissue issue?) I always thought under made much more sense but was recently told over is functionally better. Well, I made the switch but I still don't see the difference. I've had just as many dispensing overages this way as I had the former. I am not convinced!

Jeez that dog is so lucky...for so many reasons! (Watch that paw, buster) Woof baby. Go ahead, I'm not watching you dry off after a shower. BHG/MOU/TDH/MILWYAFS/yet modest, also very flexible (former hockey goalie) but living in NYC, sigh...damn, nothing as sexy & intriguing as a smart and gorgeous woman.

Christian, of course I remember you, gold tooth and all! Congrats on daddyhood, I'm sure she is beautiful!
And can someone please translate Seth's self description? I got the TDH part but the rest is baffling. I've come up with a few ideas of my own but I I'm really stretching here and none of it sounds very attractive... BHG, big hungry guy, black hairy goat, bold happy gay...etc.
-- Lisa | October 7, 2005 8:56 AM
Naaa-aaa-aaaa, thweety! Look to you own words above, Lisa. (include punctuation) Sorry I was cryptic, but I didn't want everyone to jump on me for being mushy & immodest in public. Hint- I love dogs. Not Bloated, Hirsute Gremlin/Malodorous, Ornery eUnuch either. And you stretching does sound attractive. Please continue...

Hi There! Im Kelly, 16, from Canada.
Just went searching for some Lisa articles because Lisa, you are an amazing person/ actress! Love you on House and everything else you have done! And found this Q/A thing. Which, by the way, I find hilarious. Love your answer to the toilet paper thing. I find neither way saves anything.
Keep up the fabulous work on House!
And it looks like you answer these comments? I saw your above answer. That would be so cool if you could answer this. I would probably die.
You are definitely one of my favourite actresses!!
Kelly
-- Kelly | October 9, 2005 8:07 PM
Well you made my morning but I always have a super one looking into my little boo boo's smiling face. Yep she is a gerber baby for sure. But to have you answer so quickly will not wear off anytime soon. Just did some work but am covert so I canna say my bonnee wha I been up 2 but we are bound to run into each other soon enough and will be another moment to remember. do you have your old invite from james or your Positive me stuff? I will get you copies of anything you desire and It would literaly take months to look at it yourself. I made page 111 of Patrick's book So80's and that was a gas. Still skateboarding everyday but have moved to the level of swami/guru and unbelieving awe is usually a response. I watch your show and know its a winner and was one from the first episode and you in it makes it all the more special to see you get what you have worked so hard for and having kept on it and never gave up when Hollywoods game looms over women with the headgames and demands. so I am proud of you to have made it so far on your quest as I feel about mine as well. Just to be alive to see it all happen is the blessing. Be well smooch your pooch and see you in the future I am sure. You can get my email from wow if you want but I know your busy and my schedule is more flexible for now. christian your skaterat
-- christian | October 10, 2005 8:41 AM
Seth, you clever beast. Very entertaining.
Kelly, thank you, that's very sweet. Please don't die.
Christian, good to know you've been keeping an eye on me. ;-)
all the best,
Lisa
-- Lisa | October 10, 2005 11:01 AM
Oh wow. You replied. Checks pulse. Im still alive but it was close there for a while. Thank you so much for replying. That made my day and put the hugest of smiles on my face.
Im very upset that House isnt on until the 1st of November. Who needs baseball? >:-( Luckily I have season 1 on DVD to keep me happy.
By the way, that picture of you up at the top there is so beautiful. And your dog is so cute; smiling for the camera I see.
Keep up the fabulous work Lisa! :-) Anyone know where I can write in for an autograph??
-- Kelly | October 10, 2005 6:15 PM
Hey Lisa!
I did a little poll on my site about the toilet paper thing. Apparently everyone thinks over is best.
Ha, there was no point in me saying this. Just thought I would let you know. ;-)
-- Kelly | October 11, 2005 7:44 PM
Lisa, will you marry me? Or have coffee when you're in NYC? Whatever's easier...
-- Seth
| October 21, 2005 9:14 AM
LOL Seth, I'm sure shes honoured by that proposal.
-- Kelly
| October 21, 2005 3:20 PM
Seth, it is a policy of mine to never marry sight unseen. After all, I showed you mine. ;-)

Lisa,
Just wanted to tell you that I think you're an amazing actress. I love House, and I think that Cuddy is a great character. I love the conversations between she and House. You play her very well. I really love your devotion to animals. I'm 14 and have wanted to be an equine vet since I was little. I have 3 dogs a cat and a horse. I give riding lessons and help out our vet. I really admire that you work hard for such a great cause. Keep up the amazing work!!!

Ok guys and girls (and you too Lisa!) I made a little fan site about Ms. Edelstein. Its nothing Im sure you havent seen before and Im just dreadful at making websites, but here is the link:
www.lisa-edelstein.piczo.com

Let me know what you think and how to improve it.
I think you rock so much Lisa! I love what you do for animals. Im a vegan too (I was so excited to find out you were as well)
Anyways, so I just had to make this site because your amazing and deserve a million fan sites!
Your fan forever,
Kelly :-)

Hi Lisa!
I don't even know if you still see the comments on this page, but I wanted to leave one for you all the same. Cuddy's easily my favorite character on House and I love the way you portray her. The conversations between House and Cuddy never fail to make me laugh! I'm looking forward to season three! I also volunteer at the local animal rescue organization, working mostly with cats, and I think the work you do for animals is wonderful! Keep up the great work!

Hi! Really Lisa Edelstein read this? and answer us? It's amazing...
I'm a spanish girl..so please excuse me if i've some errors...
I'd like to say that, you, Lisa E, are the best person i've seen before. You're adorable! i love you! you are the best on House, believe me!
The next summer i'll travel to LA for try to see you because it's my dream... you're so sweet and as good actress as anyone i saw before.
I watched you say in the interview at de pre emmy party (i think..) that is in general a bad idea get into de fans club or anothers sites on the net because they don't like you on House...but thats imposible! I really get frustrated! So...i want to see you, and if you can send me an e-mail...I don't know what to say: only you are the best...and i'm crying now for you! i'm your fan namber 1! XD
Thanks for all.
Ana, Spain

Hey Lisa, It´s amazing to find you here!
I´m writing from Brazil and I´ve got to tell you that I really admire your job. Cuddy is the best!
I wish I could have more to say but I didn´t expect to find you so I have no idea about what to say to you. I´m really sorry for that!!!
I hope you´re happy and healthy and I wish all the best for you and everybody you love!
PS: I´m waiting for season 3 (only next year in Brazil) and hoping you´re going to kiss (not only kiss, I mean...) Hugh Laurie a lot in this season :) Lucky you!!!

Hey there Lisa! i am a pretty big fan of House, i do agree with Kelly that if you do answer this i will die or at least faint! I have seen a video of the medicine actually being...candy! "Hmmm now all of a sudden i think i will take my mdeicine...!" well i was just poppin' by to say hi. Please dont ask why but i like the way you gave that needle to the man in the wheelchair! : ) just saying..:) Bye

Hi again Lisa! forget about what i wrote up there because all i wanted to say really was that I wish you were a real doctor and be my doctor! because you are so swift and by some of the episodes i see you are quite gentle!...and because i have a scary looking doctor now..*gets a chill* so anywas that would be pretty cool if you answered this..i would faint right in my chair. even if you dont read these anymore..i ujst thought i would write it anyways! :) BYE *tear*

Ok, never mind anything I said. Let's try this again shall we? ok i will start off my saying that i am 100% against animal abuse! and umm you are pretty much my idol because you are funny, i think outgoing and your job is great! *sighs* you know, i have always wanted to act, but i know i will never reach that point..
Well bye now,

Well, I dunno if you're still checking these, Lisa but I just wanted to ask you something...could you check out the site I made? It's the P.M.A.A. or the Prevention for Mistreated and Abused Animals. I just wanted to raise awareness around the world.
Here's the link:

It isn't the best site but it's a start. Thank you.

I'm not sure if you still check these but if you do, I'd like to say hi and that you are the most wonderful, sweethearted person I have ever heard of, and by seeing you on tv..the most sweethearted and most wonderful person I have ever seen.
You're probally used to all of these comments about die-hards and huge fans, practically fangirls like moi. Well, what I really wanted to say was that you are my LIFE. Literally. You don't know how much I idolize you! This won't mean much,I don't think but I just wanted to give it a try. Oh, and I'm glad you participate at the Best Friends Animal Society ^_^

Oh. My. God. You are fabulous. Ahhhhh! You really are my role model. My semi-formal is coming up (I'm 14 & in 8th grade) and I found the dress you wore on the cover of TV Guide in March and bought it!
-- Grace | April 22, 2007 2:59 PM
I know I just posted.. But I wanted to tell you that if you replied to this, you would make my year. You are such a good role model. You really are. You aren't slutty, like some of the other celebrities. You are a vegan. I'm a vegetarian! Please, please, please email me or you can just reply to this.

Hey Lisa, i doubt you'll read this but on the off chance u do ur immense, you've led such a brilliant life and taken on so many different roles that others may have avoided in an attempt to play it safe. I love the snarky comments on House, delivered perfectly and can't wait to see the rest of series 3, UK so far behind on airing eps!! So glad to see u have rescue dogs, i have one too! Better than examples set by other people who get a tiny dog for show then dump it when its no longer fashionable, anyway your great! x M x

Even if I don't believe in my favourite actress answering me (cause I'm little...just little disbelieving!)....a dream is always a dream and I want just to say that I have all films, telefilms, interviews, 763 pics (and see them at least twice a day!) and all house on dvd and if someone says something bad on her or House I send to hospital in very bad condition....Oh and that Lisa inspired me a song: An Angel!
(and reading me I start to believe to be very very very mad!). Well I'm not that mad I simply wanted to have a model and...well I choose one of the best actress ever and the most beautiful woman in the world (after me...sorry I have little conceit in my genes). Anyway, I live in ITALY, in deep south with sea near and if Lisa wants to come I sent all my family away for her....except my dog...I can't live without him!

Sometimes I feel very bad...like this day...I feel like an idiot to live my dreams as a child...I know I'll never met you Lisa...I know for sure...and I'm so sad for this cause now I really need to have someone I really love near me, and I feel alone...and I'm close to die...and even if I see you I'll die for sure for heart attack, but I'll do happy! And this noon I wonder of singing you my song for you...and I'd like to be more "mad" and buy a ticket for USA...but I'm not...even if I'm strong...I'm afraid...and now I feel more than before my best friend's lost...and I'd like to have her still here near me...and I'm crying....and I don't know why I write these things here, but I needed too even if others read I don't care...I needed to write while I cry...
SORRY for this unhappy moment...Tomorrow is another day!
I NEED TO HAVE YOU IN MY THOUGHTS AND I SMILE!
THANKS

Would you remember a little skate rat you let sleep in your be back in your condo by NYU and you let me know about the hair raising room mate from hell an back, and no we didn't fool around as i was and am still a gentleman and could take no for an answer from what I thought then and still think now to this day as an EXTREMELY HOT Chick but also issues were abound from the play Positive Me I helped on. I still have the program my dear and also I still have your nickel bag invitation that James Saint James Gave out in the Top Secret Envelope! I hope one day that we will meet again as I live in Hollwood central and go to the Starbucks at Hollywood and Highland with my little girl Phoenix as I am single dadding it and she is a cute 5 months old. Hope you read this soon christian lepanto
