Vanessa Marcil made quite an entrance during her recent appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show. The actress, known for her role as Sam Jane on the hit drama Las Vegas, captivated the audience with her lively and enthusiastic personality.
During her interview, Vanessa revealed that she has a quirky habit of bringing her phone on TV in the hopes of getting a free one. Ellen playfully teased her about it, making the audience laugh. Vanessa also shared her nervousness when she hosted the Daytime Emmy awards, confessing that she was backstage throwing up in a paper bag before walking out. Ellen praised her for doing a great job, and Vanessa admitted that she always gets nervous, even when talking to the guy at the local 7-Eleven.
The conversation took a humorous turn when Vanessa talked about her preference for “big girl panties” and UGG boots for lounging around at home. She explained that despite her small stature, she has a bit of a bum and likes to have some material covering it. The discussion then turned to her height and her desire to attract a tall guy. She humorously mentioned that she might need kiss boots or platforms to achieve the desired height.
One of the most intriguing moments of the interview was when Vanessa shared a surprising incident at a grocery store. Apparently, a woman threw plums at her and started screaming because she was upset about something her character had done on the show. Vanessa, known for her hot Latin temper, didn’t hold back and ended up getting into a fistfight with the woman. The security guard had to intervene and separate them. It seems that the grocery store is now off-limits for Vanessa.
The conversation continued with talk about the Las Vegas set, which is known for its realistic casino atmosphere. Vanessa revealed that the show is filmed on a massive soundstage in Los Angeles. She also mentioned Josh Duhon, who stands at 6’4″ and shared her trick of standing on apple boxes during scenes with him. Vanessa playfully admitted having a crush on co-star James Caan and described his extravagant trailer, which includes an oxygen chamber and a gym.
Towards the end of the interview, Ellen jokingly called James Caan on Vanessa’s phone, but it turned out to be a fun mix-up, as she had actually called someone else. Despite the humorous mishap, Vanessa expressed her desire to visit James Caan’s trailer and hang out with him.
