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:

I’m sorry for the delay in adding this to the latest Amber News Section. I recently started a new job and have been recovering from illness. I know these are worrying times as COVID 19 is having an impact on lives across the globe at the moment. I hope that all my friends, followers and any visitors to AmberBenson.TV stay well and look after one another.

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.

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.

Amber and Alyson have both spoken of the importance of their character’s on screen relationship and their pride at being able to be part of it. The role of Tara had a huge impact on Amber's life and she continues to be a huge supporter of the LGBTQ community.

Joining Amber on the panel are Isabella Gomez (One Day at a Time), Angelica Ross (Pose), Marja-Lewis Ryan (The L Word: Generation Q) schedules permitting. Moderated by Tracy E. Gilchrist, Feminism Editor of The Advocate.
