BLAIR TEFKIN aka Robin Maxwell

 

Blair Tefkin most likely had one of the roughest times as an actress coming into "V".  Dominque Dunne, the original Robin, was just murdered by her boyfriend while the "V" filming was already in progress.  It's great to see that Blair was welcomed by all the actors at such a difficult period of time.  And considering the circumstances, Blair picked up the pieces and portrayed Robin as we know her today!

2/19/03 - Dear Ilana, Just wanted to give you an update if you want to include it on your website.  I am revving up to do a one woman show with music this spring called "In The Land of the Giants". Would love  the "V" fans to know about it.  The venue and dates are still up in the air, but my website www.blairtefkin.com  will be updated in the next several weeks and I will let you know the details as soon as I do. I'm shooting for April if all goes well. Thanks. Hope you're well. Blair Tefkin.

Petite as a flower, Blair's amazing personality and warmth toward the fans was overwhelming.  It was so cool to see her as herself, and not as whiney Robin.  Since Blair's true love is music, it's only natural that she went from eating raw meat (it wasn't really raw meat people!) to forming her own band called Lucie Gamelon.  I asked her where she came up with that band name.  It's her favorite character from a book.

Blair was great throughout the entire convention!  Very friendly!  I was in such "V Heaven" at the con, that I accidentally left my autographed pic of Blair on her table, and she called after me, "Ilana!  You forgot your picture!"  Zon was I embarrassed but thankful at the same time!

Blair signed a CD for me at the V Con 2000 Cocktail Party!
She's on Vocals, Bass and Organ.  This CD is dedicated to her adorable puppy! (Shnauzer poodle, aka "schnoodle")

Blair was great on stage too!  She answered everyone's questions.  It's really nice to see an actress/singer who is so in tune with her fans!  At the V Con 2000 cocktail reception, she sat at a table right near the door so she could great everyone.  She was also doing a little video which I got into!  Just me taking of a picture of fan Theresa K. getting an autograph, but we were asked to sign release forms, so that was pretty cool!  As you can see from below, Blair is a natural in front of the camera!
