Specs Who Elizabeth Mitchell Age 43 Accomplishments Currently starring as Rachel Matheson on NBC’s Revolution (Wednesdays at 8 p.m.); Emmy-nominated for her role as Dr. Juliet Burke on Lost; played Erica Evans on V Base Austin, Texas What’s the first information you consume in the morning?

My parents are huge news junkies—they read all the papers cover to cover every morning and pass along all the good stories. It’s nice, at 43, to have your parents still informing your life.

I say whatever comes to my mind, so who knows what I’d put on there. How do you listen to music? I’m so in love with Pandora that it’s almost an unhealthy obsession. I make my friends and family use it and constantly send people what I’m listening to. What are your go-to Pandora... Continue reading at 'AdWeek'

I’m a big fan of e-ink Kindles -- preferring them over real books. If you do a lot of reading, they’re great. However, some people prefer the versatility of an iPad, Android tablet or smartphone, and there's a clear benefit to those. You only need to carry around the one device. Today, Amazon...
