Q & A with actress Kelly Rutherford - EFit.com
Interview
When lifelong tomboy Kelly Rutherford listened to her acting coach's advice that she work on her sexuality back in 1989, she took heed and was off and running. The 5-foot 8- inch 31-year-old blonde from Elizabethtown, Kentucky, went on to play some of the steamiest roles on television. In 1996, Rutherford joined the cast of the hit prime-time soap opera
Melrose Place. Before that breakout role, she appeared on the television show
Homefront and the action-adventure series The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. She can now be seen in the comedy/horror film
Scream 3.
The avid yoga enthusiast tells eFit how she maintains her health, both spiritual and physical, and why she wouldn't change her body for the world.
eFit: On those days when you're not motivated to exercise, but you know you have to, what's the one thought that gets you through your workout?
Rutherford: Effort creates energy.
eFit: Name three surprising things that are in your refrigerator right now.
Rutherford: Frozen peas, chmay beer (made by Belgian monks!) and a very overly ripe avocado.
eFit: What type of exercise brings you the best results? Is this your favorite way of keeping fit? If not, what is?
Rutherford: Yoga. Because it balances mind body and spirit. And that's a good place to start.
eFit: How many times a week do you work out? Do you work out to improve your health or to look better?
Rutherford: I train two to three times a week and do yoga three times a week to feel good and look good.
eFit: If there were one forbidden food you could eat whenever you wanted without gaining a pound what would it be?
Rutherford: Bread.
eFit: If you could magically improve one body part, what would it be?
Rutherford: I think it's time to appreciate what we've been given, although it takes an effort to maintain a certain harmony with your body.
eFit: If there were a pill that could instantly give you a perfect body but it would take 10 years off your life, would you go for it anyway?
Rutherford: No.
eFit: What dessert do you dream about?
Rutherford: The blackberry crumble at The Ivy because it tastes so good and it's so darn expensive.
eFit: What other celebrity's body do you most envy?
Rutherford: I would more envy another actor's ability to speak French than I would her body.
eFit: What do you do to reduce stress? Do you participate in an organized relaxation activity, such as yoga, meditation or tai chi?
Rutherford: Yoga, along with a positive outlook on life.
