In Rapid Fire, we ask each Girl to finish the beginning of a sentence we provide. They will have only mere milliseconds to provide a response, so these answers will come straight from their unconscious, unencumbered by oppressive societal conventions and the insidious forces of excessive politeness. Enjoy Mariana Klaveno. My motto is… keep your head down and just work hard. I can’t stand... [Read more]
We present our latest G2W Doodlecast, drawn and narrated by Mariana Klaveno. Simply sit back, press play, and observe the Girl2Watch at work. But make sure you listen carefully, as each stroke of the Girl2Watch’s pen may reveal complex insights into her personality that have yet to be uncovered. Or maybe it’s just a doodle. You decide.

Vampires, it seems, have been popular forever, since they showed up on the scene. It definitely comes in cycles though. Why the popularity is cyclical, I don’t entirely know. I think there is a theme in the past few years across the board of our culture getting really into fantasy and science fiction. Maybe the current temperature out in the world is not so inspiring, and so we want to be... [Read more]
It’s a cause that’s very close to me. A lot of people in my life that are very, very close to me, including my own brother, are homosexual. It was just really heartbreaking this past election when Prop 8 passed. So I do whatever I can do to help the cause to reverse that and bring equality. My brother actually talked to me about it, and we posed together in one shot, and then I posed by myself.... [Read more]
I was a hostess at Morton’s Steakhouse in Burbank for seven years. I was even less than a waitress. I was so reluctant to quit the job, to sever that security cord, that I kept the job all through working on season two of True Blood. I didn’t tell anybody. I was sort of embarrassed about it. I didn’t let anybody know on the set, but I kept one Saturday shift. I had seen so many people... [Read more]
One moment I remember that taught me a very good lesson, especially working in the business that I am. I grew up on a farm and I have three other siblings, and we had to clean out the horse stalls, which basically entails shoveling manure. I was pretty young, maybe five or six, and I was kind of too young to actually perform the manual labor necessary. So I proceeded to make fun of my older siblings... [Read more]
As a child, it was great because we had so many acres to play around on. The neighbors were a few miles away, so it was just our house and acres of land to run around on. It was completely safe. Nobody locked their doors. I was riding bikes or climbing trees, riding ponies; really sort of idyllic Laura Ingalls Wilder type of stuff. There were chores involved as well, but I just remember playing... [Read more]
I play a character named Lorena who is the maker of Vampire Bill, who is the main vampire character on the show. I come back into present day and cause some trouble for Bill and his current girlfriend, Sookie. When I auditioned for that part, it was listed as a “possibly recurring”, but there was no guarantee. It was just that one episode. It was a complete surprise when they called and said,... [Read more]

“Vampires are funny and intelligent and passionate” says Mariana Klaveno, and the same can be said about her. After working as a hostess at Morton’s in Burbank for seven years, Mariana got the break of a lifetime when she landed the role of Lorena, the vampire who “made” Bill (Stephen Moyer) on HBO’s mega-hit True Blood, whose third season is just underway. Raised on a farm in a tiny... [Read more]
