SEEN ON TV •Actors in Fox's '24' feared for the lives of their much-abducted characters NEWS AND NOTES from Planet TV: Devoted fans of Fox's turbo-charged spy drama "24" weren't the only ones who had to pluck their jaws from the floor when Teri Bauer (Leslie Hope) was killed in the show's final episode. (Yes, Bauer really is dead.) Elisha Cuthbert, the charming 19-year-old Canadian who played her daughter, couldn't believe it either. "I was in shock. I really was," she said. "It was sprung on us (the cast) quite quickly. We got the script only a couple of days before we shot it and I couldn't believe it. But that's television and that's the life of an actor." I caught up with Cuthbert at KTVU Channel 2's annual season-preview bash for advertisers last week at the Silverado resort in Napa, where she admitted she fretted for weeks that her character, Kimberly Bauer, would get offed by the producers after suffering through a ridiculous number of abductions. "I thought it started getting repetitive," she said. "I kept thinking: I just want to get out of this mess. I don't want to get kidnapped anymore. ... But I guess I'm lucky to still be alive and going on to next season." I did a double-take when first spotting Cuthbert at Silverado as she appeared in a white blouse (nearly buttoned down to her navel) and a snazzy three-quarter length black jacket. After all, we became so accustomed to seeing her for weeks of the "real-time"-styled "24" in that same ol' sleeveless, form-fitting red-and-gold shirt. "It's tough being female and having to wear the same thing over and over," she said, laughing. "I'm already prodding the wardrobe department to see if we can work out a six-outfit deal for next year. ... But at least I'm not like 'The Simpsons,' who have worn the same clothes for years." |

Cuthbert’s love of seafood Elisha Cuthbert’s years of working in the Canadian television industry have finally paid off. Currently Starring in the real-time drama 24 (Tuesdays, 9 pm ET, CH/Fox), Cuthbert says it’s exciting to work alongside fellow Canadian Kiefer Sutherland, one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. “At first you’re kind of afraid, because he’s a big star. But he is just so nice, really down-to-earth,” she says. “[He’s] really normal and I’m always learning from him.” That’s not to say she doesn’t already know a lot about her field. Cuthbert earned a Gemini Award last year for her performance in the gripping TV movie ‘Lucky Girl’, Hosted ‘Popular Mechanics for Kids’ and appeared on ‘Are You Afraid of the Dark?’ Cuthbert admits the move to L.A. two years ago, to further her career made her nervous. It meant leave her family and friends – and learning how to cook for herself. “The first month or two I had TV dinners every single night,” says Cuthbert. “But then I said ‘I’m buying cookbooks and I’m going to call my mother and walk through these recipes until I can start cooking for myself.” The idea worked and the Calgary native now cooks all the time. She enjoys whipping up traditional fare like shepherd’s pie, spaghetti and meatballs and steak, but her favorite dish is seafood pasta. Cuthbert first tasted the dish while in France, where it was made with angel hair pasta, and she only makes it on special occasions. “I’m a big fan of pasta and I love seafood,” she says. “I love lobster, I like crab, I like anything in [a pasta dish] as long as it’s seafood.”
