Hilarie Burton of "The List": The New Adventures of an Old Fashioned Girl
Interview by Paul O'Donnell
Hilarie Burton is only a little older than 22-year-old Peyton Sawyer, her character on the teen drama "One Tree Hill," but in conversation, Burton speaks with a wisdom, and a vision for her future, that would be a credit to someone much older—those she still calls "grownups." Chalk it up to her early start in show-business—at an age when most kids are watching the clock in Calculus, Burton was already a VJ on MTV. Or to running your own film production company while starring in films like the Christian thriller "The List," just out on DVD, and the upcoming screen version of Sue Monk Kidd's "Secret Life of Bees." Burton herself might say her taking the long view has to do with her Southern upbringing, and her belief in God.
For someone with a big role on a hit TV series, "The List" might be called an unusual project. What convinced you to sign onto a Christian indie film?

Burton has both love, work on 'One Tree Hill'
by Marilyn Beck & Stacy Jenel Smith
Rising star Hilarie Burton laughs off the notion that her schedule is tough to handle as she shuttles every few days between New York City to host MTV's "Total Request Live" and Wilmington, N.C., to co-star on the WB's "One Tree Hill."
In fact, she even has time for a personal life.
"I do, I do! I have a wonderful man I'm in love with," she says, declining to give his name. An actor? "Oh, no, no. We only need one self-indulgent person in the relationship," she quips.
"He does work on the show as an AD (assistant director). Anytime I'm working, which is quite a bit, he's there, and that's nice. So many people shun working with the person they're involved with in life, but I love it. I identify with Julia Roberts when she says she and her husband love working together. If you have make-out scenes, he's there and knows nothing shady is going on. He understands what my job is and why I have to do this or that. We're in the same boat, kind of growing in our careers and our lives at the same time."

'Tree Hill's' good girl is itching to play bad
By Cristina Kinon
'One Tree Hill's" Peyton Sawyer has played the victim one too many times.
Next season, Hilarie Burton, who plays the good girl Sawyer, wants her character to turn the tables.
"I want to be a bitch real bad," Burton told the Daily News from North Carolina, where the hit CW show is taped. "I feel like aggression needs to be a mood that we see from Peyton Sawyer. And those parts are always more fun to play anyway."
She might get her wish. Major character changes are ahead for "One Tree Hill," which revolves around a group of high-school students.
After tonight's finale, the show will go on hiatus until next season. When viewers see the cast next, they'll be four years into the future, having already gone through college. "[The writers] were super-gung-ho about [the jump] and I really took to the idea because nobody wants to have the 'Saved by the Bell' effect, where they all go to college and they all live in the same dorm room and you have to explain all that and it's totally hokey and unrealistic," she said.
