Episode 123: Suanne Braun

Suanne Braun portrayed the goddess Hathor on Stargate SG-1. Hathor was a Villain with a capital V who used everything at her disposal – including über-powerful pheromones – to get what she wanted, be it civilizations to fall at her feet or men as big-brained as Jack O’Neill to obey her every command. Hathor, according to character Dr. Daniel Jackson, was the Egyptian goddess of fertility, inebriety, and music – or, as O’Neill put it, “Sex, drugs, and rock and roll.” Part of what made this particular System Lord so memorable and beloved years after her grisly end was Suanne’s singular performance: powerful, sexy, slightly sneering, and sporting some of Stargate’s best costumes. Hathor is only one of a long list of highlights in a career of highlights, and in this riveting (and often rollicking) conversation with Sabrina Furminger, Suanne reflects on those highlights, and also dishes on her latest role: host of the popular online chat fest, Hathor Hosts, which puts her friends from genre film and TV – including many friends of the YVR Screen Scene Podcast – in the hot seat.
