4. One of my horses was.

A made for TV movie was partially filmed down the street from my house and I used to keep my horses there before I bought my farm. It was a pretty bad movie but it starred Martin Sheen and Patty Duke Astin and I got to meet them both. As they were filming at night we were all there to watch and my white horse came out of the dark and into the light in the background.

I was in a Kellogs Rice Krispies add in 1971. I was at Brevard Music Camp and they filmed a bunch of us in rehearsal but you could not really see me.

5. No but my friend on Kauai was..

In the movie "Six Days, Seven Nights" in 1997..he played a bartender in a bar scene right before they(Harrison & Heche) jump off a cliff into the Ocean.

When I watch movies ..I always think about the extras in the background, too:)

How fun to contribute to all those productions.

8. My boyfriend has done extra work.

In fact, he was an extra on the upcoming Ron Howard film "Cinderella Man" with Russell Crowe and Renee Zellwegger. I'm looking forward to seeing it...maybe I'll be able to see Doug, the b/f, in it. :-)

9. Twister ...

The top of my head is in the background of a shot in Twister, that horrid movie about tornados. I am not however, proud of it, even though you can't really recognize me. :-)

It was not intentional. The producers sent a team to Oklahoma to try to capture live storm footage prior to production, and I'm in one of the shots they got because they gained the assistance of local civil defense (storm spotter) teams when they went out into the field as long as they didn't interfere with what we were doing. That storm season was one of the quietest on record, and what storms they were able to capture occurred mostly in the early evening or at night, so their shots were quite limited. One of the very few shots they got of a real funnel forming has me in the background talking on a radio to CD headquarters, reporting position.

I suspect this doesn't fit with the spirit of your question, but it brought this to mind.

12. Sure it does.

[RoyGBiv]

13. Que?

[Crazy Guggenheim]

14. Yeah it does.

"I suspect this doesn't fit with the spirit of your question, but it brought this to mind."


Yeah it does again!

10. My Best Friend's Wedding, Hero, probably a couple others I'm forgetting.

Just stuff shot in Chicago. Good excuse to get out of class for the day.

11. Miller's Crossing

The Cohn Brother's don't mess around. I was in the nightclub scenes with Gabriel Byrne, Albert Finney and Steve Buscemi (sp?). I think it was Buscemi's first noticeable roll and he was amazing. Everything was as close to an authentic 1930's speakeasy as possible. Even the match girls had what appeared to be authentic match boxes and cigarrette packs. There is one scene in which the camera pans very quickly from one end of the club to the other, and, for this they set up an entire rear room with gambling equipment and extras that is barely noticeable in the final film. Watching them setting up the shots with Barry Sonnenfeld and directing the actors was fascinating. Oh, and it took a week to get the gunk that they used out of my hair (they had more or less shaved the sides and left the top long). No wonder everyone had antimaccasars on their furniture in the 30's.

15. No but my sweet daughter who I adopted

after her mom, my close friend died, had a leading role in a movie that is now a cult classic...Heavenly Kid. She played the blonde high school slut that the two boys in the movie race cars over.
