Amber Is The Special Guest In A New Episode Of The Lez Hangout Podcast

3/21/2020

Earlier this month Amber joined hosts Ellie Brigida and Leigh Holmes Foster as the special guest in an episode of The Lez Hangout podcast.

Ellie and Leigh discuss the relationship between Willow played by Alyson Hannigan and Tara (Amber Benson) in Buffy the Vampire Slayer. They discuss the impact of their relationship and why it remains so important to fans all these years later. Willow and Tara’s relationship was a key part of Buffy the Vampire Slayer’s storylines for three seasons and broke new ground as they were the first long-term openly gay couple on network television in the USA. Ellie and Leigh guide us through the complete timeline of Willow and Tara's relationship highlighting all the key events and much more.

Amber joins them to talk about what it was like playing Tara, the importance of the role and the impact of working in a time of increased censorship. How she, Alyson and the show’s creator Joss Whedon worked around some restrictions to bring key moments of Willow and Tara’s relationship to the screen. This was not only important to the show’s storyline but fans and the wider LGBTQ community as well. Amber also takes part in a Q & Gay, this is a must listen for fans of Amber and/or Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

This was a really entertaining listen and was a fun way to spend my afternoon. Please Note it contains discussion on mature themes and spoilers for Buffy the Vampire Slayer too.

You can listen to the podcast simply by clicking the link below:

2/27/2020

Go Magazine’s JD Glass recently had the opportunity to catch up with Amber to talk about her career. JD and I have a mutual friend in common and when she told me that JD had the opportunity to speak with Amber I was excited.

As many fans will know Amber is not only an actor and an author, she has several credits as a Director, Producer and Executive Producer. Recently she has been writing a number of fiction and non-fiction movies for television. JD also has a number of talents, a regular writer for Go Magazine, artist, musician and author to name just a few. I was really excited to see what these two multitalented ladies had in store for us.

Amber talked about how she became an actor, what life was like on the set of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and how proud she was to have the opportunity to play the part of Tara Maclay. A role that is still so important to so many fans, myself included.

Away from Buffy Amber discusses some of favourite projects both as an actor and writer. If you haven't already had the chance to check them out please do, I promise you won't be disappointed. Amber talks about her ambitions for the future and I personally have no doubt she will reach her goals.

Happy Birthday Amber!

1/8/2020

I’d like to wish Amber Benson a Happy Birthday. I hope you have a fantastic day and the year ahead brings you only good things. Followers of the website’s social media feeds will know that I posted Happy Birthday messages earlier but of course I also wanted to write a special post for the Latest Amber News Section as well.

I've been a fan and followed Amber's career for many years and in that time I've been fortunate enough to meet her on a number of occasions. Amber is not only a hugely talented actor, writer, director and more she's also a kind and generous person too. If it had not been for the encouragement Amber gave me I never would have attempted writing, for which I’m a very grateful.

At this point friends and regular visitors will be saying "Joe you said the same thing last year". You're right I did and the reason is I wanted to highlight just what an amazing person Amber is. If this is your first visit to my website please check out all the links and find out more about Amber and her work.

A Family Christmas Gift - A New Movie Written By Amber Benson

12/23/2019

Exciting news for Amber fans this festive season, she has written A Family Christmas Gift a brand new TV movie for the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Channel.

The movie centres on Amber, a busy New York-based executive played by Holly Robinson Pete who is persuaded by her Aunt Dora (Patti Labelle) to join her for Christmas in Colorado and help plan the annual Christmas concert.

Holly Robinson Pete's name may be familiar to Amber fans as she plays the role of Billie Blessings in Morning Show Mysteries. Amber wrote the script/teleplay for A Murder In Mind and Death By Design two movies in the popular series earlier this year.

Amber revealed back in September to fans attending an online Twitter party that she'd written a new Christmas movie for Hallmark. However she was unable to release any further details at the time. I've been keeping a keen eye on Hallmark’s listings for a while looking for news. I had a hunch that A Family Christmas Gift was the movie Amber had been referring to however I couldn't confirm this ahead of its premiere yesterday (22nd of December) in the USA. A friend in America has since confirmed that not only did Amber write the original story for the movie she also co-wrote the teleplay/script with Alex Wright.

The good news is that A Family Christmas Gift will be shown again tomorrow (24th of December) at 3:00 PM/2:00c. To find out more about the movie, view the trailer and see showing times throughout the holiday period, click the link below.

The Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Channel is available in North America and Canada via a range of cable providers, for details click the link.

Everyone at AmberBenson.TV is delighted that Amber has been able to add to her growing body of work as a writer for television and we wish her every success with the movie. We hope everyone who was able to watch the movie enjoys this festive treat. If and when it becomes available to watch in the UK I will let you know.

In the meantime I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays as they say across the pond.

12/10/2019

Great news for UK Amber Benson fans as Holiday Wishes will be shown on TV this week. Holiday Wishes is a fun festive movie in which Amber plays Danni Hartford. A professional party planner who’s asked by a client to drive her spoiled teenage daughter Britney to a school Christmas dance.

Britney crosses paths with high school new girl Katie and each of them make Christmas wishes that go awry. Danni decides to help the teenagers put things right and in the process she might find something that she's been looking for.

This year I was able to find a trailer that I hadn't seen before so I've embedded it below. However it does contain spoilers so if you haven’t had a chance to watch Holiday Wishes before I would avoid the trailer for now.

Holiday Wishes will be shown at 5 AM on Friday the 13th of December on Sony Movies Christmas which is available on Sky Channel 319, Freeview Channel 50, Virgin Media Channel 424, and Freesat Channel 303. It will also be shown one hour later at 6AM on Sony Movies Christmas +1. Where available check channel guides and listings for details.

Amber Is Set To Be A Guest At The Vampire Ball - London 2020

10/30/2019

Here is some exciting news for UK based fans as Amber is the very first guest announced for the 11th Vampire Ball Convention in November 2020.

Star Fury Convention’s The Vampire Ball is a three-day event celebrating Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Firefly and Dollhouse. Amber will be joined by Dollhouse star Miracle Laurie with more guests to be announced in the coming months. The convention will include autograph sessions, photo opportunities, guest talks, themed party nights and more.

The Vampire Ball will be held between the 13th -15th of November 2020 at The Renaissance Hotel, Heathrow, London. It's unusual for me to post information about an event which is over a year away. However, I know from experience that it is an excellent event but much smaller than larger scale conventions. Tickets are on sale now and I wanted to let fellow fans know early so they didn't miss out.

According to the event website there will be discounted room rates available for those attending the convention via a link on their website. However the hotel isn't available to book yet but I will be keeping a close eye on developments. I will post a further update to let fans know when they can book a room if they want to.

For tickets and more information about The Vampire Ball click the link below to visit their official website.

It's exciting that Amber will be meeting UK fans again next year and I will post a further update when I have additional information about the event.

Video Of The Buffy The Vampire Slayer Panel At Fandemic Houston 2019

10/30/2019

A few days ago Amber was a guest at the Fandemic Houston 2019 Convention and she was joined by fellow Buffy actors:

Clare Kramer
Emma Caulfield
James Leary
James Marsters
Juliet Landau

On the 19th of October they all took part in a Buffy the Vampire Slayer panel held at the convention and answered questions from fans. Luckily for fans like myself who couldn't be there in person website FandomSpotlite.com were allowed to record the panel and they have since shared it on their official website and their YouTube channel.

There were questions from fans both about their time on Buffy and a mixture of serious and fun questions were put to the panel. I have embedded the video below so you can see what Amber and co had to say.

Please note there are a couple of uses of strong language in the video so discretion is advised.

Click here to view a video directly from the FandomSpotlite.com website.

I want to share the video here so fans of Amber and Buffy could enjoy it. I hope FandomSpotlite.com don't mind.
