La Femme Nikita began as a French film, was remade as an American film, and has now been reincarnated as a cable series (USA Network) starring glamourous Peta Wilson, a former Australian basketball star.

Occupation: "Professional lunatic."

Favorite Film: "DAYS OF HEAVEN. Not for Richard Gere but for the most breathtaking nature scenes."

Favorite Album: "BLACK AND BLUE by the Rolling Stones. There's a song called MELODY that's so sexy I've used it to do a striptease for my boyfriend."

Best Fashion Tip: "Grab your boyfriend's suit."

Describe your look five years ago: "Drag queen - in a vintage men's suit, Hawaiian shirt, alligator loafers and fedora."

Describe your look now: "Accessories freak. I have 50 pairs of sunglasses and a closet just for shoes and hats."

Five years from now: "Jean-Luc Godard heroine. I want to have short hair and wear those soft girlie dresses."

Fashion fantasy item: "A coat made of a super-reflective material to blind rude paparazzi."
