For the Love of Benji. This was one of my favorite films as a kid! Harttstill billed as McClennyhas little to do here except act friendly and professional as a stewardess who helps Benji and friends board the plane to Greece. Still, its great to have her as a part of one of my kiddy favorites, only, I just hope the poor dear landed some extra compensation pay for the god-awful character uniform that she had to act in.

It would have rendered even Laurence Olivier immobile and speechless. Harttstill McClennyis one of the many girls who volunteers for the project. The Seduction. Morgan Fairchild does show restraint and skill with material that could have gone way over the top with another actress. Too bad the material she is given goes pretty much nowhere at all, though.

This film is meandering and oddly paced, when it should have been gleefully attacked and committed to by its director and producers. Things happen with no true build-up or steady flow of suspense. Even when things start to get good, like when Fairchild begins to turn the tables on her attackerthe momentum is quickly dropped and lethargy takes, quickly, over again.

Still, as stated, previously, Fairchild shows a strong subtlety and, the always reliable, Colleen Camp livens things up as her brassy best friend. Pink Motel. This is how t-an-a exploitation should be done. Its cute, quick and the vignette style keeps things interesting. Harttat her most gorgeous, is part of the last equation. She and her main co-star, Christopher S.

Nelsondo everything possible with their material, and with perfect comic timing, make some unoriginal jokes shine. The segment ends with an amusing twist that shows that the men, whom appeared to be controlling the cathryn hartt biography of williams, were not so dominant, after all. Deadly Illusion. Billy Dee Williams has a ball as walking weapon and lady-killer, Hamberger, and Vanityappearing as his partner in crime, is cutely spunky and fun.

Her performance in Memories of Murder with Nancy Allen is really and truly chilling. Check it out! But not quite as hideous as the curly black wig she sports, occasionally, in this action adven ture. I must say, it does not become this glamorous lady and when Williams tells her she looks just as good with it off as on, you can here the sound of jaws dropping across America!!

Cathyrn Harttin one of her three films that year, drops in to play the glamorous country pone from Cosmopolitan magazine. Mistaking Williams for Reggie Jackson, Hartt is, essentially, playing a more sophisticated version of Eve, the waitress from The Creature from Black Lakeand she has a ball. In an interesting note, Hartt is not credited in the final scroll, and while her role is small, it is much larger than the one she had in The Seductionwhere she did receive credit.

I just found out about this vignette comedy that, also, features Pamela Sue Martin. It supposedly makes fun of commercials, Saturday morning cartoons and genre films. I plan to check it out, ASAP, and will, hopefully, weigh in with opinions at a later date. Open House. Pretty real estate agents are being slaughtered in vicious ways and poor real estate mogul, Adrienne Barbeauand her boyfriend, radio shrink Joseph Bottoms Blind DateThe Black Holetry to find out who is doing it and why.

I toured with it for about a year. I toured with Mickey Rooney for a number of years in a goofy play called 'Three Goats and a Blanket'. Mickey is sweet but totally hyper and bounces of the walls 24 hours a day. He got more fall-out-of-your-seat laughs out of an audience than anyone I've ever seen. He was a bit quirky but a brilliant comedian.

We got along quite well, but I know he really intimidated one actress from fear of how to work with him so much that she had to quit You just didn't really ever know what he would do onstage. He refused to rehearse so the only thing he did was let you have a line rehearsal to make sure you could say the lines really fast and that was it!

Very bizarre. So once you hit stage and my scene was a really fast banter with lots of sight gags you had to totally invent as you went. I loved it because I love improvisation. Also, the first night, he got paranoid that the audience didn't like him and walked off the stage leaving me "tap-dancing" forever before they talked him into coming back.

But after that, we seemed to understand each other and I seemed to calm him so we had great fun. He's a master of timing and a great person to hook into and play the moment. I've done everything from Shakespeare and Greek tragedy to children's theatre, living theatre, street theatre, performance art, musical comedy, improvisation, theatre of cruelty, dinner theatre and experimental theatre.

I've worked throughout America and some in Canada. I did it so many times that I started playing one of the children and ended playing the cathryn hartt biography of williams That was a magical time for me. That was the most wonderful time in my acting. The people at that theatre at that moment in time are still the most utopian mixture of talent and love and creativity all together at once that I have ever experienced.

Norma Young and Jac Alder created the theatre and it was a beacon for experimental thought and social issues I sucked up his timing and his heart. I watched every performance that I was in from the wings to see him. I learned his warm-up techniques and his fearless love of working an audience. Morgan and I did two versions of the show as the daughters in Dallas over a few years and I ended up playing the female lead, Evie and the other women in his life, several years later in Arkansas opposite Larry.

I remember sitting in rehearsal many times as a young performer and thinking "I didn't know you could think like that. Also, Larry taught Morgan and myself the best definition of acting: "Acting is sharing your heart with your fellow man. Is there one that you prefer? Or do they, both, satisfy different needs for you? Catherine: I never thought I would love anything as much as acting because it is my very soul.

But I love coaching as much. Because I act because I love to connect and communicate deeply with others I would still love to act if I can ever find time in my tight coaching schedule. But until then, I am thrilled whenever I see that light go off in another as they think: "I didn't know you could think like that! Brian: What do you feel is your greatest artistic achievement thus far in your life?

Catherine: I don't think much in separate moments. As I get older and look deeper and get simpler, I realize how much my heart and craft and the universe around me are all one and always changing. The same place that I go inside to find a creative enlightenment is the same place I go to find spiritual growth. Both need for you to be still and to listen instead of to speak.

So I see life as a wonderful gift of lessons. Toggle the table of contents. Morgan Fairchild. Fairchild in Bonnie and Clyde. The Initiation of Sarah. The Memory of Eva Ryker.
