What you see is what you get.

CSI: New York star Melina Kanakaredes (Stella Bonasera) appeared on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson on September 29. She talked about filming the scene from New York's fifth season premiere, "Veritas", in which her character dangled from a seven story building. "I was really doing that," she revealed. "There's a harness on me that you couldn't see [because] they erased the wires. But it was so cool."

"I actually e-mailed a photo to my husband from the iPhone, and then the response was, 'Are you crazy? We've got two children, get down!'" She said, laughing. When it comes to gadgets, Kanakaredes said she's "a Mac girl." The actress made use of her computer recently for a personal project. "My parents just had their fiftieth wedding anniversary," she explained, "and I did the whole iMovie and the book for them."

"I had an amazing summer," Kanakaredes said. "I met the Pope this summer." She gave a "quick lesson" about the Great Schism that separated the Roman Catholic Church from the Greek Orthodox Church. "Our Archbishop was invited by our Patriarch to bring some people together, and they invited me. I was very honored, but I was told to bring my whole family, my girls included - two little girls, five and eight," Kanakaredes explained. They were in church for three hours before meeting Pope Benedict XVI and Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew I in a small room. "It was just beautiful," Kanakaredes said, "the Patriarch and the Pope coming together."
