Buffy star Eliza Dushku fears her role as evil Faith may be a little too convincing - she has become an icon for some of America's worst criminals. The 19-year-old actress has been inundated with piles of fan mail from legions of prisoners, but is less than flattered with her new- found following. She says, "I've been getting fan mail from maximum security penitentiaries, and Death Row What are the authorities thinking of in playing a show with young teenage girls to Death Row inmates? They write everything - disgusting things that you don't even want to know about. And they send me pictures - 'Oh, here's a picture of me before I was incarcerated!' and there's some guy sat on the sofa with a bottle of beer and a moustache, and a big gut. It's so creepy. Way more creepy than Buffy." Eliza hopes her role as a "good girl" in new cheer-leading movie Bring It On (2000) will bring her a less controversial army of fans.
