SITE
Who runs this site? When was it first started?
Rachel Weisz Paradise was first opened in early 1999 by Riikka, who took mima as a co-webmaster around spring 2004. Spring 2005 Riikka gave up her part in RWP staff due to personal life changes but still participates as a consult. Early winter of 2005 Lisa started to work as mima’s minion. In December 2005, Lisa decided to start her own site and quit as a staffer at RWP. Currently the site is maintained by mima and some contributing fans, not forgetting Riikka as the invisible sidekick.

1. What is your favorite Rachel film or her best work in a film?
I can’t pic a favorite film but I did love Rachel in The Constant Gardener, I know that isn’t very original answer but if you have seen her in that film you know what I am talking about. In overall I think Rachel has been beyond amazing in every single film that I have seen so far.
2. When did you become Rachel fan?
I first noticed Rachel in Stealing Beauty and then Mummy but my actual fandom started when Riikka asked me to make a layout for this site way back in history and she just kept going on about Rachel and I just had to check out what she was raving about so I rented few films and I was sold.
3. Why do you love Rachel?
Rachel is a perfect example of a person who is beautiful, talented , famous and still completely down to earth. She with her beauty, grace and talent makes me adore her.

1. What is your favorite Rachel film or her best work in a film?
Obviously my FAVORITE would have to be the Mummy Films…there’s no real explanation for it. Theres something about the film that just pulls me in…could be Brendan….very true, but theres just everything about it. I’m obsessed…passed that…you be the judge.
As far as Rachel’s BEST work to date, I would definitely say The Constant Gardener. She was amazing. I think it was a very emotional film for her to do, putting her to her max, and she pulled it off stunningly!!!
2. When did you become Rachel fan?
I had seen most of her film as they came out, and I thought she was adorable, but it wasn’t until the Mummy that I truly truly became a fan…and..well, you all know what happened next.
3. Why do you love Rachel?
Rachel, I think, is very natural. From her spirit, her life, and the lives she portrays. She has wonderful talent, and a very true love for what she does. A true English Rose!

I am 19 years old, and currently out of school, though I am a High school grad. I have a very very high ambission to get into the entertainment industry, whether it be Music or Acting, both are a high passion in my life. I seriously believe that I would not be so “mental?” obsessed with this business, as I am, if I wasn’t meant to do something in it, and I seriously believe that.
So, thats what I want to do with my life, call it a dream…but its what my passion is. Now, lets see a little more? How bout pets? Well, I on my own have a darling Russian Blue Kitty named Sascha, and a new ferret named Izzi. The family has a Doberman named Max.
I like spending my “alone” time, working on my websites, modding, etc with whatever I’m involved in. And as far as gaming goes, I’m very very much into the Sims on pc, I play it everyday for several hours….tis sad…but its my special time! LOL
When I’m not in the mood to be alone, I love hanging with my friends and family, whether it be going to movies (obviously) or just hanging around. I do just about anything I can.
I think thats all I can think up right now…brain fried from work. But if theres ever time for an “update” on this, I’ll have more!!!
NOW YOU KNOW NEF!!!
