Memories from the Set: Lindsay Sloane on "Sabrina"

[JamesG]

Sloane’s second series-regular gig didn’t end when Sabrina’s best friend, Valerie, was written out after Season 3. She returned in the TV movie, Sabrina Down Under, as an entirely new character – a redheaded mermaid named Vivian Soontodie.

“When you’re 19 and you’re being given an opportunity to go to Australia for three months, you just don’t question it. Melissa Joan Hart wanted me to go, so they thought of another way to get me in the movie.”



Sloane recalls being difficult to work with during the hair-and-makeup process:

“I remember being a little bit of a pain in the ass when I was there, because I had a prosthetic tail, and they would have to airbrush my body for hours. I also had to learn how to swim with the tail on, which is a cool thing, but unless they remake Splash, I’ll never have to pull that skill out of the vault.”
