The Beginning
I started to watch Law & Order: Special Victims Unit during the summer of 2004 between seasons 5 and 6. I have seen articles about Mariska Hargitay floating around and have read them in interest as I knew she was the daughter of Jayne Mansfield. I tuned in SVU and the next thing I know I’m a devoted viewer! I caught up the previous seasons quite easily thanks to the reruns on USA network and started off on season 6. I saw time to time Kathy Stabler who was a recurring character who would appear in and out, briefly. She did catch my attention and I did a search on the actress on the handy Internet and didn’t find much except her film credits. I wanted to know more about Isabel and watch her other roles, I caught both Metropolitan and On_Line on TV and watched them (mostly zooming through just for her scenes), and then buying her films on eBay and Amazon. It wasn’t long until I decided to do a website dedicated to her; I thought she would be pretty easy compared to my other three sites, Beatles’ Kids, Mexican Beauty: Olivia Harrison, and Cyn & Mo.
However, admittedly, my interest in SVU has waned in the last few recent years, only catching a few episodes here and there.
The Site is Born
I was debating about creating another site, and when I heard that Isabel will be releasing her first book within a few short months, I decided it was now or never. Enchanting Isabel Gillies fan site was launched in December 2008 on tripod.com. The site features a little bit about Isabel, as well as her roles in films, television, articles, interviews all in one place so it’ll be easier to find rather then scattered across the internet for a limited time while on the site it’s safe and can be viewed at anytime. Donations are very much accepted (and appreciated) and will be given credit.
However, over time, it got much harder to update on tripod. They changed their ways so much that I couldn't keep up. I prefer the simple ways instead of HTML symbols and such that I couldn't understand it. So, I opted to move the site into a blog that would allow me to continue to keep it simple and have access to update wherever I can.
Thank You
I would like to extend my Thank You's to my friends Heloisa and Cindy, who have helped me retrieve any articles available and passing them to me. Thank you to Dianne for her support and donations. Last but not least, thank you to Isabel for supporting the site! It’s an honor.
