...Dorry is a veteran of Greenpeace, the big, loose, global network of environmental activists notorious for protesting pollution by sitting, climbing and sailing where they are not wanted. Dorry would have campaign medals if Greenpeace gave medals. She was jailed in 1992 for a demonstration in which she and 75 townspeople scaled a fence at a hazardous-waste incinerator in East Liverpool, Ohio. And she helped plan the 1994 stunt in which Greenpeacers climbed the side of the Time & Life Building in New York City and hung a banner from the 20th floor decrying the use of chlorine...
Even if you're a gadget freak with deep pockets, you may think twice about buying for another reason: there may not be much HD on your TV.

Ultimately, their backgrounds have helped Felicity, giving it a movielike look and pace, but the challenge has been forbidding...
...great. She was called back for a few more auditions, and after a final one for the network, she arrived home to find a message from her agent telling her she had the part. "She was so beautiful and such an angel," Abrams remembers. "I thought there was no way she could be Felicity. But then she started reading, and she was funny as hell. She could be pretty and funny but also vulnerable...
