Hi! Great night last night! I didn't get to meet Stana personally, we just saw her on stage, but it was close to us 
.
She really is stunning and extremely fun and kind (just as I expected)!
So, here's the report :
There were some teenage girls there that were really hardcore fans. One of them was visibly nervous and crying even when we were outside waiting. When Stana entered the stage, she couldn't control herself and went to the stage. Since we were very close to the stage, no one had time to stop her :-). Stana was very kind to her. She hug her, talked to her for a while, took a photo with her and took her out of the stage bringing the girl to her mother. It was really nice of her.
They allowed 3 fans to answer questions and Stana gladly answered them. One was a girl saying that she wanted to be an actress and asking Stana how it was for her to make that decision and what she had to go through. Stana said that she had studied International Relations and pre-Law and was on her way to become a diplomat when she made the decision to become an actress. She went to LA, where she knew no one. She adviced the girl to think about the reason why she wants to be an actress, mentioning that if it is to be famous there are also other ways for it, or if it is to tell stories she could start making them.
Another girl asked her to sing a song called Blue Eyes. Stana was surprised but accepted, asking us previously to excuse her because she didn't have time to prepare herself. The presenter that was there (one of the most beloved TV presenters at the moment in Portugal) told her not to worry since Conan Osiris won the eurovision festival here (he was mentioning the song that was just chosen to represent Portugal in the Eurovision Song Contest and that makes most of us ashamed
. Stana sang beautifully. The third question was a guy proposing to Stana. I can't remember what she said, but his girlfriend, who was standing next to him, was not amused by the question...
She also answered a couple of questions from the presenter about the Emily character and about what she thought of Lisbon. Stana spoke a bit of Portuguese. The presenter also asked Stana whether she was now keen on buying a house here, as it happens a lot with celebrities that visit us. For instance, Madonna has been living in Lisbon for several months, but is leaving now. He even informed her that Madonna's house was now for sale, in case she was interested, but she didn't seem convinced . He also made a joke about people from abroad being the only ones to afford to buy house in Lisbon now due to the high demand, which is true and made the audience laugh.
Stana was also asked about how it is to be an executive producer and she talked about that and how she has always been interested in having this kind of role too. The presenter tried to convince her to create a new character for Absentia Season 3 - a Portuguese investigator, with green eyes and handsome (describing himself).
So, I think everyone enjoyed themselves. In the end, Stana asked if she could take a selfie with her phone of us all saying Absentia Season 2. We practiced once and then she filmed us all with her phone and posted it in her instagram account. I am the first person in the left, in the first row :-).
They had a sign saying that is was forbidden to take photos or to film, so I tried to be discreet and just got some short videos. I realized afterwards that rule was only mainly for the new episode of Absentia. I will post my videos later, but hopefully I'll find better quality videos from other people.
