August 8, 2015: Melissa Benoist Prepares to Take Flight as Supergirl

Melissa Benoist The Denver Post has published an article about Melissa Benoist as she prepares to take flight as Supergirl in the upcoming CBS television series. Here's part of the article...

    Benoist wasn't a comic book fan as a kid. She grew up watching Michael Keaton play "Batman" and got into Marvel ("that's sacrilegious to say now") through a boyfriend in college. She perfectly understands Kara's personality when she's not Supergirl, she said. "She's unsure, shy, awkward, just trying to survive in an environment where she can't be her true self. I really can relate, although I've always had a little more comfort in my own skin. I'm OK being weird."

    She's ready to deliver a positive message to young girls: "Everyone has the potential to be what they want to be," she said.

    "Nothing against Wonder Woman, but I like how modest (Supergirl) is. It's not anything about sex appeal, it's not about anything but her strength and her drive and how motivated she is to make a difference for the better."
