A Color Photo of
Actor Claudia Christian
as Susan Ivanova on Babylon 5

Publicity Photo

Signed by Claudia Christian

Description: In addition to meeting actors and other movie/tv people at science fiction conventions and book festivals, I also attended a number of Hollywood Celebrity shows where you could get memorabilia signed by actors for a (usually) reasonable fee. If I remember correctly, I bought this photo from the actor at a science fiction convention where she and some of the other Babylon 5 actors attended to promote the show. The photo is inscribed 'Hi Ron!' by the actor.

About the character: Susan Ivanova was the second in command of Babylon 5 from February 2258 to December 2261, serving under both Commander Jeffrey Sinclair and later Captain John Sheridan. A Russian, Susan Ivanova (pronounced "i-VA-no-va") was brave and intense, often quoting her Russian customs and traditions. She studied abroad during her young life, resulting in her accent changing from the typical Russian to a more neutral English-speaking one, though she does fall back into it when speaking the Russian language. Also, Susan has an eidetic memory, which may account for her brilliance as an administrator and military strategist. Everything in her sphere of influence must be just-so, and she has little patience for those who act off-the-cuff or do not stop to consider the consequences of their actions.

Condition: Fine, like new.
