Totally Frakked: "Battlestar Galactica's" Mary McDonnell

Marjorie Kase hit the "Battlestar Galactica" fan event in Los Angeles last week and chatted with the stars, including Mary McDonnell (at left in pic, with Katee Sackhoff).

You play such a powerful female role on the show. Do you get a sense Roslyn's having an impact on the Hollywood community?
The truth is over the last season the characters have become more known. It took a while, but I think she's very appreciated. And now that we're going to end, I'm getting even more feedback because people don't who want her to go away, saying they like her symbol and they like her struggle, and they like her position and they like to be able to bounce of of her and sort of figure out their ideas about female leadership at this time.

When you found out that Roslyn had cancer, did you know ahead of time whether she'd live or die?
Honestly, I had moments where I didn't know. The truth is that they can decide anything at any moment.  [When] Ron and I had our first lunch, when he offered this to me, that was one of my first question: What about the cancer? Does she get cured? Basically he said, well she probably doesn't, but she'll go into remission. It won't be a constant thing for years on end. I try not to ask too much about it to be frank, because I don't really want to know. I want to respect the unknown of that in the acting because people who have cancer don't know.

You've already begun filming your part for the upcoming season. Was it weird to be back knowing it will be the last?
It wasn't weird to be back. It was very exciting. Even more exciting to be back and to know that we're all getting to earth together. Even though everyone's sad, everyone's sort of very, very excited.

What do you envision Earth to be like?
I would like it to have clean air and lots of water and be very green and I'm just so afraid that it's not going to be, you know what I'm saying? I don't know what he's (Ron's) got up his sleeve.
