Anna Paquin: ‘True Blood’ Draws Record Ratings!

True Blood star Anna Paquin is bikini sexy in the July 2009 issue of Self Magazine.

On-set, the 26-year-old actress has to endure long days of stunt work in just a mini-skirt, which has helped Anna shed any self-consciousness. “You stop thinking, Do I look weird at this angle?” she says. “I’ve learned to feel very comfortable wearing very little. It’s liberating!”

Sunday’s second-season premiere of True Blood garnered a massive 3.7 million viewers, making it the most-watched HBO program since The Sopranos season finale. That’s up 157% in comparison with the series’ premiere!

anna has been in the limelight since winning the academy award the second youngest ever winner in academy history. so she is very used to high visability.. stephen has been hot since stater wife what a beach bum hunk he was who wasn’t rooting for him!! those eyes are to die for. of course she fell in those pools of blue. will it last? as long as it will.. not forever i’m sure not too much in hollywood does. i wish them good luck, stephen will be a distant dad like thousands of dads. that is nothing new or different either.
but steve is perfect as the dark brooding bill compton he has that quiet underlying sex appeal that women would die for..
and then there’s eric/ alex , what can you say about a skarsgaard.. but OMG he’s blonde, blue eyed, big, nordic, tattooed, gorgeous, funny ass hell and hot hot hot just wish i was still in my prime so i could show him a good time just once !! love the show love the characters..
have read all the books the show is not following the story line but it doesn’t matter the main characters are being maintained and thats what counts !! watching season II and wating for touch of dead in october. will watch for tribes of october as well..
