The image perfectly encapsulates Lisa and the seemingly contradictory personae she brings to all her undertakings: glamorous actress and the warm-hearted, community-minded girl next door.
We go inside, taking up seats by her Macintosh computer.

Lisa sits in what resembles a pilots chair, her keyboard placed on a table two feet from an oversized monitorready to blast into (cyber)space.
She works with Adobes high-end "Go Live" program. "But I still go under the hood to work on the pages with HTML and Java Script," she explains. She is designing Web pages for her own site and for several select clients.
For a photographer, she is designing a gallery space. For a special events coordinator, she is giving potential clients the opportunity to access the events, so they can see what she produces. For another client she is creating a sophisticated interactive e-mail system.
Her creations again illustrate the glamour and substance she embodies. Go to her Web site, click on a starburst and you get a homemade "public service announcement."
Heres one. The photo, a campy outtake from one of her films, shows her dressed in a sexy (though always tasteful) outfit, spraying her towering three-foot beehive hairdo. The environmentally correct message implores us to "Use the pump, ban aerosol."
Over dinner at a West Village restaurant off the beaten tourist path, she tells of friends both famous and obscure, and for each she displays genuine affection.
(As an aside, our heroine is into the 11th hour of an "all-media day," having already been interviewed by the Village Voice and via e-mail by an international movie magazine based in Spain. She also was on the phone with New York magazine about an upcoming piece.)
