He began with her break out role in "The Silver Blade" with Jonathan Lord. Donner asked what it was like to break into the industry at age 18. Stanyon replied it was terribly exciting then talked about her love for Lord. Donner inquired if it was true that Lord designed his own makeup for the cursed gargoyle character. Stanyon confirmed it then stated they both did their own stunts. Donner then opened the floor up to audience questions. An attendee immediately asked Stanyon about her divorce with Lord. Superboy entered the room and encouraged Miss Martian to ask Stanyon about "Hello, Megan!" and Marie Logan. Donner acknowledged her and she asked her question. Stanyon lit up and recalled Logan was a professional and a sweetheart then how much how much Miss Martian resembled her.
