Virginia Hey: I used to LOVE dancing and would take classes every day in Covent Gardens at the Floral St Dance Centre with Arlene Phillips as my teacher. I wasn't very good, but I LOVED it!
Virginia Hey: Fav JUNK food = Bakewell Tarts ...and ... peanut butter and apricot jam on buttered toast! YUM! Um, but not all at the same time! At least an hour apart!
Virginia Hey: I dont drink or smoke or take drugs.
Virginia Hey: My interest in Zhaan-like things comes from my parents. I had extraordinarily inquisitive parents—quite brilliant in their powers of observation. They didn't pass all their abilities to me, unfortunately. I wish. I wish. But they passed on that curiosity about living. It's a concept that won't die in me. In fact, it's been getting stronger and stronger as I get older. It's gotten to the point where I am absolutely driven to understand what makes people tick in every way. That includes every dimension of people: physically, spiritually, mentally, emotionally.
Virginia has 3 brothers (Arron, Peter and Graham) and a sister (Lorraine) and three grandmothers.
On Farscape she didnt feel any different about acting in iteraction with real humans or the animatronic characters such as Rygel.
Virginia mentions playing Zhaan on Farscape and teaching meditation as her most important professional accomplishments.
She loves to listen to Cafe Del Mar Vol. 6.
She was offered a role on Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda, but could not take the offer because she did not have a work visa for Canada.
One day while she was waiting for the bus to take her to her art school class, she was discovered by a modeling agent. That's how her modeling career started.
Her nick names are Gardenia and Ginny.
Virginias motto for life is "Nothing is impossible". She also likes the phrase "What other people think of me is none of my business."
She used to be a model before she started acting.
Virginia once met Sting, whom she admires very much, and she couldn't say a word. She ran off to the toilet to escape the situation.
Her kidneys started to suffer from all that blue make-up she had to wear on Farscape after only the first three months of the first season. Despite of this, she lasted for nearly 3 years on the show.
Virginia requested to leave Farscape because the make-up was making her very sick.
