05/08/2008: I wanted to let you know that I know I haven't replaced the selected photo in the box below this one. I love the intimacy between Tamara and Stephen in their alter egos of Ava and Steve. Let me live in my fantasies for a while longer, then I'll change it. I've waited for this for a very long time and, well...what's the harm?
I've decided to leave up my contact information in this section. I little easier to find than scrolling to the bottom of the page. One could potentially get carpal finger with my postings. Send me your platitudes, praises, a really nice cheesecake or a box of Fruit Loops. I won't mind. So, here's the contact info:CONTACT ME.
COMING SOON Come and read the exclusive Tamara Obscura journal. Here, you'll find the webmaster's thoughts on things concerning Tamara and her career, including reviews of Tamara's projects and various other thoughts.

WANTED: TAMARA BRAUN
There are a few items Tamara Obscura is currently looking for. Any clips of Tamara's time on GENERAL HOSPITAL. What I'm looking for is HI QUALITY MPEG clips. The reason for the HQ MPEG clips is because I would like to get screencaptures from them. Lesser quality just end up with broken pixels and blurred caps. So, if anyone has any of these of Tamara's tenure from 02 May 2001 - 15 April 2005, please send them in a zip file to WANTED TAMARA BRAUN. If possible, could you please provide the date the clips you're sending were from. It would help in the archiving of them in the gallery.

Tamara recalls her time at GH and some of her favourite stories and actors. Among her fondest memories, she recalls working with Ted King, Rick Hearst and Vanessa Marcil as her greatest accomplishments. Read who she wished she'd had the chance to work with who she only had one scene with....
As Tamara Braun looks back at her time on GENERAL HOSPITAL as Carly, she is flooded with happy memories of connecting with her co-stars and moments when she feels the proudest as an actor. "It's all about the people I'm with and the enrgy in the room," says Braun, who prefers to share the applause. "It's my acting angles! Sometimes they're busy with other people, and sometimes they're all around me!"
A Blast In The Past One of Braun's favorite episoes to shoot was the New Year's Eve flashback to the 1920s in which she played a flapper. Dressed from head to toe in canary yellow, it accounted for many behind-the-scenes memories. "It was one of the nights that Rick Hearst (Ric), Alicia Leigh Willis (ex-Courtney) and I bonded like nothing else," Braun smiles. "It was a 15-hour day. We were all dressed up, and we were playing with noisemakers and confetti. We were so slap-hapy and tired and goofy. We were dancing around the set while they were setting things up. That was a great time."
Memorable Moments When it comes to recalling unforgetable moments on camera, Braun pulls several from her bag of memories. "I'm pretty proud of myself for the scene when Carly told Sonny that Kristina was his baby," she recalls. "She knew she had to tell him something very difficult that would destroy her whole life, but she had to do it because it was the right thing to do. I was really proud of the stuff I did with Ted King (ex-Alcazar) and Rick Hearst in the panic room, too. And I loved the stuff with Vanessa Marcil in the swamp. I loved working with her. It was so nice to be silly and to laugh. I like those times. The drunk scene in the bar with Creed. I remember getting permission from Carol Scott, one of our producers, just to go all out."
Family Matters Although Braun got the chance to share the limelight with just about everyone on teh GH canvas at one point or another, there's one person she wishes that she'd had the opportunity to work with more often. "I regret that I never really got to work with Tony Geary (Luke)." admits Braun, who says she shared only one passing scene with the legendary actor. "But maybe we'll be able to work together in some other capacity in our lives at some point. I'm bummed that I never got to wrok with him because he's Luke of Luke and Laura! He's Carly's uncle, for goodness sake!">
