Lindsey Shaw

Lindsey Shaw is known for her role on Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide. We talked to her again in a multi media interview to get the scoop on 10 Things I hate About You. The show airs on ABC Family on Tuesdays at 8:00 ET.

THE STAR SCOOP:

Hello, Lindsey

LINDSEY SHAW:

Hello, Traci.

THE STAR SCOOP:

So, the last time that we talked, it was when you started out on Ned’s Declassified. So, I was hoping you could tell me a little bit about just your fan base and how they are sort of transitioning with you as you’ve gone from this, as you said, kid’s show into this more mature role?

LINDSEY SHAW:

Right. You know, it’s been amazing that you don’t have an idea of the number of fans that will come up to me or write me letters or stop me and ask me like, “Oh my gosh. You’re on the new show, 10 Things I Hate About You, but I also love you from Ned’s Declassified.” So many of them came up and followed me, and it’s incredible to be able to work on one project and then this next one, and have them be able to come up and watch it. It’s age-appropriate for them now that they’ve grown up. So, it’s kind of like they’ve grown up with me, which is sort of the most amazing quality I think you can have in your fans. Hopefully, they will just continue to grow with me, and it’s just been wonderful. It brings you back down to that first moment that everybody knows what you’ve gone through and been through since these series. You feel very intimate with them.

THE STAR SCOOP:

Definitely, and kind of while we’re on the topic of fans, do you have a sort of, as your career has grown and as you’ve built your fan base, do you have sort of a favorite fan story or moment that you kind of want to share with us?

LINDSEY SHAW:

I had this really amazing fan write me this piece of fan mail, and inside it there was a CD. It was from this band and they said, “Your art has inspired us, and we are sending you our CD to kind of say thank you and to share our art with you.” It wasn’t even like a fan encounter. It was like two artists talking to each other or just two people who have made a connection through art, who they’ve never even met, but they wanted to share their art. I don’t know. I was just so struck by that and so honored. It felt like, I don’t know, we shared. It was awesome.

THE STAR SCOOP:

Great. Well, thank you so much. I wish you the best.

LINDSEY SHAW:

Thank you.
