Oliver Beene: TV Guide News

Oliver Beene
Early-'60s dysfunctional-family humor, narrated by the (now-adult) younger son, `Wonder Years'-style.

This week — right now, in fact — TV Guide Online pries the rising starlet away from a battery of meetings with VIPs (Very Important Producers) to ask her seven questions that weren't intended to be silly until we realized how much fun she'd have with them. Enjoy! TV Guide Online: So... the hot exchange student, huh? Is Elke the role you were born to play, or what?Maggie Grace: Actually, she's the first girl I've ever played that everyone has a crush on. Also, she's my first hot exchange student. Finally! TVGO: Your Swedish accent sounds pretty good to me. Or maybe, like the Beenes, I was just distracted by your sweaters.Grace: I worked pretty hard on it.
