As part of its countdown to the “Dollhouse” premiere, the L.A. Times interviewed Olivia Williams, the actress who plays cold-as-ice Adelle DeWitt. Here is what Olivia had to say about the first season of Joss Whedon’s highly-anticipated new show:

“There is no way to describe how this season ends. There isn’t even a collection of words. It’s so surreal. Even if I wanted to tell you a spoiler, I don’t even think I could explain it to you.”

Portrayed by Olivia Williams on the Fox Dollhouse TV show, Adelle DeWitt is the Queen Barbie, the boss of dolls.  As cold and calculating as she is beautiful, Adelle runs the Dollhouse like a Fortune 500 CEO.  A true visionary, she believes everyone benefits from the Dollhouse, and she aims to keep the highly illegal service running smoothly.
Calm, confident and collected on the outside, inwardly Adelle is perhaps even more lonely and isolated than the Actives, whose personalities are wiped clean over and over again.
