BOB’S VIDEO

Dear friends and fans of Mary Kay, 

Mary Kay and her husband, director Dino Andrade, had a dream 
of forming a production company inspired by Desi Arnaz and 
Lucille Ball’s Desilu studios.   Tragically, the comedy 
feature film BOB’S VIDEO was the only project they completed 
together before Mary Kay’s struggle with a progressive mental 
illness took her from us.

Tragically, Mary Kay kept the illness that overwhelmed her a 
secret from her husband, friends and family.  To compound the 
situation, her disorder was a "fear-based" phobic disorder 
rather than a "depression-based" disorder so there were none 
of the classic signs that she was suicidal.  The final tragedy 
was that this illness is "treatable" and had she sought the help 
of those who loved her, Mary Kay’s life could have been saved.

Mary Kay’s cameo in the film as "the Lady in Red" represents 
her only on-screen performance - and yet, while that cameo is 
all-too-brief, her influence is felt in every frame of BOB’S VIDEO.  
Among the many tasks shared by Mary Kay and Dino:  they produced 
the film with their own funds, developed the story and handled 
the casting, featuring many of the top talents in the voice-over 
community, including E.G. Daily, Bill Farmer and Corey Burton.

Even with her busy voice-over career, Mary Kay was happy to be on 
the set every day by her husband’s side handling the still 
photography, post ADR sessions, and performing a number of 
voice-over roles throughout the film.  In short, Mary Kay made 
BOB’S VIDEO special, not because of her brief appearance in it, 
but because she believed in the film, and did it out of love for 
Dino, and love for the project.

If you wish to see BOB’S VIDEO, it has been rescheduled 
(from a previously announced time and date) for a special 
"memoriam" screening to be held at the CineVegas Film Festival, 
noon Saturday, December 11th at the Theatres des Arts of the 
new Paris Las Vegas Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.  
Please join us, and honor both Mary Kay and this project that 
was so dear to her heart. 

Finally, in the hopes of raising awareness of the now tragically 
clear dangers of untreated mental illness, a portion of the 
proceeds will go to the MARY KAY BERGMAN MEMORIAL FUND, which 
could help prevent such tragedies in the future.


Thank You For Your Support.
