Bauer von Straten, who plays Pam on the hit HBO vampire series, is a Caledonia native. She recently painted a portrait of costar Stephen Moyer that is being auctioned off for charity.
Actress Kristin Bauer von Straten is using another of her talents to raise money for—and awareness—of anti-poaching efforts in Africa. Kristin, who grew up here as Kristin Neubauer, married South African singer Abri von Straten. She got her big break as Pam in HBO's True Blood, but her first artistic endeavors were on paper and canvas. And even though acting pays the bills, she hasn't stopped painting. Her website's fine art section says she is hoping to complete enough pieces for a show. Earlier this year, she raised money to fund a documentary about poaching in Africa, where rules against ivory sales and trading have led to a ramp-up in the illegal killing of animals to harvest the material. That documentary Out for Africa is in the …

After the battle last week, we see Sookie getting shot. She is awake and fine within the first few moments, but she’s concerned because Eric is gone. We are back at the witches place and they are yelling at Marnie because she brought Eric back with them. Marnie tells them he is under her control.

In the next episode of the "You Smell Like Dinner" True Blood series, the story continues to focus on Sookie adjusting to the new realities of Bon Temps after a trip away for a year. Bill reveals pieces of his past, Eric crashes a witches’ meeting, Jason gets his wounds licked, Andy struggles with his addiction, Sam learns of Luna’s special talent, Jessica satisfies her blood cravings and Arlene witnesses strange behavior from her family.
