Speaking with Christine Elise; Actor, Author, & Youtuber

Today I am speaking with Christine Elise McCarthy. Christine has been acting professionally for over 30 years and is recognized primarily for her roles as U4EA-popping bad girl, Emily Valentine, on Beverly Hills, 90210 -  a role she reinvented (playing a heightened version of herself) on the 2019 Fox hit - the BH90210 reboot. She is also known for Harper Tracy on ER, and as Kyle, the gal who killed Chucky in Child’s Play 2 and returned to fuck with the Chuck some more in Cult of Chucky. She has also appeared in recurring roles on China Beach, In the Heat of the Night, and Tell Me You Love Me.  Among her other film roles are Abel Ferrara’s Body Snatchers and two films starring Viggo Mortensen: Vanishing Point and Boiling Point. 

She maintains an irreverent, vegan cooking channel on Youtube called Delightful Delicious Delovely - found at www.VideoVegan.com.  The accompanying food blog is called www.DelightfulDeliciousDelovely.com for which she has provided recipes, photographs and sometimes shares details of the triumphs and, more frequently, the humiliations of her own life since July 2012.

 

Key points addressed were  

• Christine’s Blog and YouTube channel where she has spent several years developing and sharing vegan recipes and insights with her audience
• We also discussed some of Christine’s personal opinions about the difficulties in pleasing everyone in regards to one’s personal vegan journey and how some of the anger that exists in the online communities are counterproductive to the Vegan cause
