And yet another Mira-Con

Headlining the list of media and comic book stars will be actress Mira Furlan, "Rousseau", from the hit ABC TV series "Lost", Ms. Furlan is also well known to fans from her portrayal of "Delenn" on "Babylon 5".

When Father was Away on Business

If you haven't yet seen this film of Mira's, there are 3 copies of the DVD on Ebay for $7.99US, which is as good a price for it as I've seen. This is one of the few films that Mira did in the former Yugoslavia that is easily available with subtitles.

It's a marvelous film, directed by Emir Kusturica. Kusturica won his first Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1985 for this film, he followed that 10 years later with a win for "Underground". He's one of only 4 directors to have twice won the Palme.

"Lost" Actress Finds New Life in Hollywood

Fans of the Emmy-winning TV show "Lost" have been captivated by the mysterious, ship-wrecked scientist Danielle Rousseau and eagerly watch each week to see if more information is revealed about her story. The actress who plays her, Mira Furlan, has an equally intriguing background. A Croatian Jew who was a star of TV, film and theater in her native Yugoslavia, Furlan fled to the United States 15 years ago
when the increasing violence among ethnic groups endangered so many. Furlan, a classically trained actress, found a new niche in Hollywood by joining the cast of the science-fiction TV series "Babylon 5"as Ambassador Delenn. She has also appeared in dramatic productions in Los Angeles and released an album called "Songs From Movies That Have Never Been Made." Furlan recently spoke with Hillel Campus Report about her Jewish roots, her diverse career and the choices she's made in portraying Rousseau.
