Canadian actress Crystal Lowe sat down and chatted during RomaDrama Live!, which took place in West Palm Beach, Florida, from June 24 to 26.
“It feels amazing to be at RomaDrama, to be honest,” Lowe said. “You never know what to expect when you go to conventions and what it’s going to be like. The fans at RomaDrama are just the sweetest. My ‘POstables’ are top-notch. I have received socks and handmade gifts from them. I am beyond spoiled and loved constantly so it has been really nice.”
Lowe is known for her starring role in the “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” series on Hallmark, where she plays Rita Haywith. “Rita is super sweet and kind. She always sees the best in people, but she has a quirky and funny side. She loves to gamble and she will fight to the death to protect her friends,” she said with a sweet laugh.
“Rita is also very spontaneous and I love that about her,” she added.
Lowe is also a former Scream Queen. “I have died so many different ways to the point where my mom would ask me each time I book a horror film ‘how do you die this time?’ It’s my goal in life to live until the end, and that’s what is great about Hallmark,” she admitted about the horror movies she has done.
The digital age
On being an actress in the digital age, she said, “I think it’s great, to be honest. I direct too. As a director, it is really amazing. You can shoot a movie on an iPhone. The technology lately is incredible, cinematic mode is beautiful. We need content and we need to have empathy towards each other, and we need to understand one another. This is the time to share experiences and stories in life with the digital platforms.”
She shared that she is in the middle of editing her own film called “Afterglow.” “It is about a former adult film star who doesn’t want to do it anymore but nobody wants to hire her because she was in the industry. She has a daughter and she is fighting. It’s about her controlling her own narrative whatever that may be and taking her power back. It’s a great little story and I have written a pilot that is attached to it,” she said.
On the title of the current chapter of her life, Lowe said, “Embracing Transitions.”
Lowe listed Oscar winner Viola Davis, Issa Rae, and Mindy Kaling as her dream acting partners in life.
For Lowe, the word success means “moving an inch forward.” “I don’t have to move 50,000 feet forward. Keep going and eventually, you will stop and look back and you will notice how far you’ve come. That way, you can appreciate it as you go,” she explained.
