Rumor : Actress Andrea Thompson who played the character Talia Winters
in Babylon 5 was in the men's magazine, Playboy.
Fact : This is a rumor.
Ms. Thompson never had pictures
in any stage of undress in the Playboy magazine.
Andrea Thompson did do some modeling pictures early in her career. Most
often mentioned are photographs that appeared in "Black and White" 2
number 36 in April of 1999.

Ms. Thompson was quoted by the "New York Post,"
to have said. "I did pose for 'Black and White' magazine, a
prestigious, artistic publication, several years ago, ....I did this as
a piece of art and make no apologies for the creative decisions I've
made as an artist in my 20-year career.1"
She is in good company.
Leonard Nimoy was featured in issue six, and the photographic talent of singer
/ musician Elton John was featured in issue nine of "Black And
White." The publication
is dedicated to the photographic arts and features the works found in many
great museums.
The rumor likely started
in two ways.
First, her Babylon 5 colleague,
Claudia Christian, was in the October 1999 issue of Playboy.
Second, Ms. Thompson is not
alone in having faked pictures of her circulating on the internet. One such
image has the misleading name of "Andrea Thompson unpublished Playboy
picture."
Third, she was hired by CNN
Headline News on August 6,
2001 following a wave of severe personnel cuts at CNN. Many first line
reporters and anchors were fired prior to her arrival. Some of these staff made her a
"poster child" for their grievances with the cable channel and Ted
Turner.
This animosity was exemplified
in the web site "Ted's Turnovers" 2 created by former
employees. The site posted Andrea Thompson's model photographs with text
that was at best satirical.
On March 14, 2002, Ms. Thompson
resigned from CNN Headline News
after approximately nine
months with the network. Factors often cited include long hours, a need
for more time with her son, and distance from his Father, Jerry Doyle, also a
former B5 actor.
It was recently announced
Ms. Thompson will be going to the cable channel Court TV on Saturday, June
8th, 2002. The news was announced May 30th on CNN and several
other news sites.
In her new role, she will host a three-hour blocks of programming on Saturday evenings for Court TV. She will introduce shows,
including "NYPD Blue'' and "Forensic Files," and speak during
the breaks.
