RNAVLYT> Hi, guys!!!!
.Doreen> Hi Robin! Welcome!
.Ectoman> hi
199> hey robin
RNAVLYT> Thank you!
.Jade> hello Robin
RNAVLYT> Hello, everyone. Thanks for being here.
.Doreen> Thank you for coming!
RNAVLYT> My pleasure.
.Doreen> Are you ready for some questions? Or would you like to just chat for a bit
until more people get here?
RNAVLYT> I'm fine if you guys would like to ask some questions.
.Jade> Robin are you going to play Slimer in the next movie?
RNAVLYT> I have to tell you that I really have no knowledge of the making of the next film.
I have spoken with a few of the people that I know at Industrial Light & Magic and they had
no knowledge of the film a couple of months ago.
.Doreen> The pics you sent to me has me curious about the costume!
Especially all the controls I see in the face.
RNAVLYT> Did you have any specific questions, Doreen, about the mechanics of it?
** LABIDOLEMUR just joined "Meet Robin Navlyt!!!" (6 members now) **
.Doreen> Welcome Anne! Our guest tonight is Ms. Robin Navlyt, the actress that brought the
Slimer puppet to life in Ghostbusters II.
.Doreen> It looks fairly complex, was it radio-controlled?
RNAVLYT> Yes, there were five or six puppetters working on the mechanics at all times.
We all had to rehearse quite a bit so we could work together and make it look good.
RNAVLYT> There was even a person operating the nose, if you can believe it! :o)
.AnneL> yeah, I can :)
.Doreen> Was there a video system or could you see out of it -or- see yourself on a monitor
to know what the actions looked like?
RNAVLYT> That's where the rehearsals came in handy. they were taped and I took them home
to study them.
.Doreen> Ah...those tapes must be fun!
** GHOSTBUSTERS just joined "Meet Robin Navlyt!!!" (6 members now) **
.Doreen> Welcome AJ! Our guest tonight is Ms. Robin Navlyt, the actress that brought the
Slimer puppet to life in Ghostbusters II.
199> Robin, were you concerned that most of Slimer's scenes were cut out of the movie?
RNAVLYT> Honestly, myself and a few other people that worked on it with me were very bummed
when we saw the final product. Quite a bit had been cut.
RNAVLYT> Actually, the best scene we shot hadn't been used.
.AnneL> but isn't that the risk of taking a part in a film?
RNAVLYT> Yes, that's always something that you have to anticipate.
.Doreen> What scene was that?
GHOSTBUSTERS> I would have liked to see slimer more
RNAVLYT> There was a scene where Slimer gets off the bus and tries to go with Rick Moranis.
It's sooo cute but just didn't happen.
.Doreen> I bet the people here would give just about anything to see those cut scenes
199> oh yea
GHOSTBUSTERS> I would
.Jade> same here
199> did you ever actually work with Rick?
RNAVLYT> No, he shot his stuff in N.Y. I shot in front of a blue screen in Northern Ca.
I took the tapes of Rick to my hotel with me and studied them for a very long time!
.Jade> mmmm.. do you have a web site Robin?
RNAVLYT> Yes, Doreen has put together an awesome web site on the Ghostbusters Fan Forum.
She's awesome!
.Doreen> Thanks, Robin! :D
.AnneL> so all the Slimer shots were done *after* filming the live actors, then?
RNAVLYT> Yes, all the principal photography had been finished by the time we shot.
199> did you ever meet any of the cast when they shot in LA?
RNAVLYT> I did meet with Bill Murray at ILM and had a great time. Actually got a little
coaching from him!
199> wicked, is he as nice as people say he is?
** CALIBURN just joined "Meet Robin Navlyt!!!" (6 members now) **
.Doreen> Welcome JR! Our guest tonight is Ms. Robin Navlyt, the actress that brought the
Slimer puppet to life in Ghostbusters II.
.Doreen> WoW! You got to meet Bill, that's cool!
RNAVLYT> He is as wonderful as you might think. After we had all wrapped that day,
they brought in some music and drinks (it was a Friday) and Bill stayed!! He's very funny.
RNAVLYT> I got an official zerbert!! :o)
.Doreen> I've seen his antics at Pebble Beach...he's a funny guy!
.Doreen> zerbert?
.RNAVLYT> You know when you put your lips on someone's cheek and blow? And it makes a
farting noise? :o)
.Doreen> LOL!!!
RNAVLYT> Sorry, I didn't know how else to put it!
.Doreen> I'd be honored to be zerberted by Bill! LOL!
RNAVLYT> I think it's an SNL thing.
.Doreen> How long did getting into the costume take?
RNAVLYT> It took (in the beginning) about forty-five minutes. We got it down to under
a half an hour toward the end.
199> Robin, did anything funny happen during filming?
RNAVLYT> I think the most disgusting day was shooting the "sandwich" scene where slimer is
eating Rick Moranis's sandwich. Do you remember that?
.Doreen> Yes, we have a vid cap from it ...eeewwww
** 1971 just joined "Meet Robin Navlyt!!!" (7 members now) **
.Doreen> Welcome Marla! Our guest tonight is Ms. Robin Navlyt, the actress that brought the
Slimer puppet to life in Ghostbusters II.
RNAVLYT> Well, the food had to go somewhere. There was mayo, mustard, relish and onions
that ended up right in my eye, nose, ears. Ah, the glamour of Hollywood! :o)
.Ectoman> lol
.Doreen> LOL!!! If you were asked, Robin, would you like to play Slimer again?
RNAVLYT> I would do it in a heartbeat. It was a wonderful learning experience with some
very talented people.
.Doreen> The folks at ILM are an amazing group.
RNAVLYT> It's my favorite place in the world. Just amazing to walk around there.
199> Dor, I can see the title on The GB3 @ The GBFF Page now:
"Slimer actress announces interest in GB3"
RNAVLYT> LOL!!!
1971> I hope you get your wish
199> Robin, are they considering slimer to be totally CG?
RNAVLYT> Well, I do think they would probably do Computer Generation with it.
The technology has changed so much in nine years.
.Doreen> Computer Technology is wonderful, but I like the idea of having an actor
lend their personality to a character even more
.AnneL> but using CGI might be cheaper/less time-consuming for the studio.
199> up until last week I thought Dave Spade would be doing Slimer's voice
.AnneL> what? where did you hear that, dave?
199> lots of places, it was found not to be true
.Doreen> Robin, who did the vocalizations for Slimer?
RNAVLYT> So many of my friends have asked me who did the voice for Slimer in GBII.
I have absolutely no idea. I'm sure I could find out though.
.Doreen> That would be great :)
.Ectoman> I watched the credits and didn't see anything about the voice of Slimer
** .ESpengler just joined "Meet Robin Navlyt!!!" (9 members now) **
.Doreen> Welcome Adam! Our guest tonight is Ms. Robin Navlyt, the actress that brought the
Slimer puppet to life in Ghostbusters II.
RNAVLYT> Welcome, Adam!
.Doreen> Robin, did just puppeteers work the controls, or did you have controls, too?
RNAVLYT> No, the puppeteer controlled all the facial movements. (Like eye movements,
cheeks, lips etc.) I moved the mouth, arms, and everything else. That's why it took so
long to rehearse. We all had to do the movements as one person. It was tough.
RNAVLYT> Kind of like choreography.
.ESpengler> I'd imagine!
.Jade> I was wondering Robin can you sign people's guestbooks at their sites?
.Ectoman> yeah, can you?
.Doreen> Tell you guys what, come sign ROBIN's guestbook at her Official Homepage after
the chat, 'k?
.Doreen> I noticed that your arms were Slimer's arms. Was that make-up or gloves?
RNAVLYT> It was latex gloves. Very thin latex gloves that ripped quite often. they had
stand-by arms ready at all times! :o)
.AnneL> so how often did you go through gloves? one set a day? two?
RNAVLYT> Depends. Usually just one.
199> Robin, how did you find the Ghostbusters Fan Forum?
RNAVLYT> I didn't even know sites for the film existed and did a search and it came up.
So I wrote to Doreen.
199> there are over 60 ghostbusters sites, most of us in this chat each have one
.Doreen> I have at least that many on my links page and new ones pop up all the time
RNAVLYT> I think it's sooo cool. I am just getting used to the internet so for me to be
chatting with you here is a real feat for me!!
.Doreen> You're doing great! And I really appreciate you taking the time to be with us
tonight, Robin!
RNAVLYT> Hey, I really wanted to be here!
.Doreen> :)
** EGBFANATIC just joined "Meet Robin Navlyt!!!" (9 members now) **
.Doreen> Welcome Azmie! Our guest tonight is Ms. Robin Navlyt, the actress that brought the
Slimer puppet to life in Ghostbusters II.
.Doreen> In the bus scene: did they actually put a bus-driver's hat on the puppet, or was that
added post-production?
RNAVLYT> That hat was on my head at the time. But I had to match my hands up to where the
steering wheel would be.
.Doreen> : ) LOL...that would be a cute pic!
.Doreen> How did you get the role? Did you audition or were you picked because you had
experience as a costumed character?
RNAVLYT> I auditioned after the "original" person who was going to do Slimer had to back out
due to other obligations. I guess I lucked out!!
.ESpengler> Yeah!
.Jade> did ya meet other actors other than Bill?
RNAVLYT> No, just met with Bill. All the other photography was already completed when I
started. And I only met Bill because he was doing some looping at the time.
.Jade> well I have to go now, glad to meet ya Robin
RNAVLYT> Bye, Jade! Nice to meet you too!
.Doreen> Who was the original person? Anyone we mave have heard of?
.Doreen> Was it Mark Wilson from the first movie?
RNAVLYT> A stunt person who does a lot of stunts for kids.
RNAVLYT> I think his name is Bobby. I can't remember his last name. Sorry.
.ESpengler> What do you think of the Ghostbusters Fan Forum, and your Official Page?
RNAVLYT> I love the Ghostbusters Fan Forum and the Official page is amazing!!
.Doreen> Thanks again : )
RNAVLYT> No problem, Doreen! The good thing is it opened up the door at ILM and I was able
to work on a few things with them after that.
.Doreen> What else have you done at ILM, Robin?
RNAVLYT> I was a troll that got eaten in "Willow" I did some test shots for "Coccoon II"
.Sam Hain> Coolness!
RNAVLYT> I did some shots for "Body Wars" at EPCOT
1971> cool!
** XGBAM just joined "Meet Robin Navlyt!!!" (10 members now) **
.Doreen> Welcome Amy! Our guest tonight is Ms. Robin Navlyt, the actress that brought the
Slimer puppet to life in Ghostbusters II.
RNAVLYT> Hello!
.Doreen> Robin, I've been meaning to ask you about Willow
RNAVLYT> Yes, ask away!
.Doreen> I have the film on tape, how will I recognize you???
.Doreen> what scenes, etc?
RNAVLYT> Under all that "stuff" you won't. there's a scene toward the end where willow
battles a troll on the bridge. The troll falls through and gets eaten by a two headed
creature. I was the person who the special effects shot and got eaten!! Cool, huh?
.Doreen> I remember that! Way cool
.ESpengler> Way PAST cool
.Sam Hain> Slimer and a troll...sounds like you went from the eater to the eaten! ;)
.Doreen> LOL...good one JR! I wondered if you'd say anything tonight!!!
RNAVLYT> Exactly. When a lot of people in an audition see "Slimer" on my resume it opens up
the conversation!!
.Doreen> and closes lunchboxes ;)
.Ectoman> lol
.Sam Hain> LOL
.Sonica> LOL
RNAVLYT> LOL!
.AnneL> does that mean they covered your image with SFX?
RNAVLYT> Yes, Anne they shot the troll much like Slimer. In front of a blue screen.
.Sonica> Wow cool,I didn't know you were in that. What other movies were you in?
RNAVLYT> Beverly Hills Cop III. There I played a dancing "Fox" who bumps into Eddy Murphy.
(Is anyone ever going to see my face?). Actually, I've had some roles on TV that weren't
"creatures" ! :o)
.Doreen> In the test shots for Coccoon II, Robin, were you an alien?
RNAVLYT> I guess there's a shot where they put a "coccoon" into an MRI machine to see what's
in it. I put on a specially made "leotard" and did a test shot to see if it would work the
way they wanted it to.
.AnneL> tv roles? on what series? (I'm assuming they were guest shots...)
.Doreen> We saw your face on Cybill! What other roles can we see YOU in?
RNAVLYT> There was a series last season called "Home Court". I played a woman who was getting
married by the justice of the peace (Pamela Reed).
.ESpengler> Robin, are you a Night Owl? Early Bird? Neither?
.Doreen> Adam asks this because he hosts Insomniac's Chat ; ) He and I are night owls
.Sam Hain> << I guess I'm really an early bird. It's funny because my husband is the epitome of
a night owl and I'm always trying to wake him up to talk. I'll join your Insomniac's chat! :o)
.Doreen> :) That would be fun!
RNAVLYT> I'll get a pot of coffee going and join you one day soon!
.Doreen> Mmmmmmm....coffeeee.....
.Doreen> LOL
RNAVLYT> Frappuccino!!!!!!!! Yum! Doreen knows I'm a Starbucks fanatic! :o)
.marla> I prefer Coffee Bean
.Fan> Mmmm... all this talk of coffee is making me thirsty...
.ESpengler> Tuesdays 11 PM Pacific ( or Wednesday 1 AM Central time)
Insomniac's Chat. Lasts 2 hours
RNAVLYT> I ashamed to say....I bought a furby. :o)
.marla> I WANT A FURBY
.Doreen> Furby! They look like Gremlins to me...
199> how'd ya get to a furby?
.Ectoman> Furby's cool
.AnneL> you did? for yourself?
.Sam Hain> Furby's are all right...so long as they don't get wet or fed after midnight...
.ESpengler> Gotta go, Bye Robin!
RNAVLYT> Bye, and I promise I'll join you one day soon.
.AnneL> I can just see little robotic Gremlins stalking around Christmas trees this year :)
RNAVLYT> LOL!!!
.Fan> Oh no!
.AnneL> can't you see it... like Gremlins saying "feed me" and trashing things...
RNAVLYT> LOL!!!!!!! It's a very funny visual!!
.Doreen> > *.* < My cats would EAT Furby, I'm afraid ;)
RNAVLYT> Let me ask you guys a question. From the movie do you guys have a favorite character?
.AnneL> I'm still an Egon-fan, no matter what media he's in... he's a lot cuter in the RGB
toons, though... :)
.Doreen> I love Egon, my roomie, Nora, loves Ray (Slimer is a close 2nd)
RNAVLYT> :o) Thanks.
.Fan> Egon, Peter comes close next...
.Doreen> I guess N & I are boy-crazy..GB-crazy ;)
RNAVLYT> For me it's a tie between Peter and Egon.
.AnneL> Winston and Janine are tied for second... I love it when a story give Winston a focus
(NIGHT GAME being the best ep for that!)
.Doreen> It's really hard to choose, since it really is an emsemble
RNAVLYT> True, Doreen. It really is an ensemble.
.Jade> I signed the guest book
.Doreen> :) Thanks
.marla> I always liked Peter
.marla> have you seen Extreme Ghostbusters?
RNAVLYT> I'm embarassed to say I haven't. I do want to check it out, though.
.marla> My sister is in it. she's Kylie
.Doreen> I can loan you some videotapes, if you are interested in seeing them, Robin :)
RNAVLYT> Sure, Doreen that would be great! (You're so cool!) :o)
.Doreen> :) No prob, I'll bring them to Starbuck's!
RNAVLYT> Sounds good Doreen!
.Jade> mmmm. Robin would you like me to make you a doll of Slimer?
RNAVLYT> Are you serious? I'd LOVE a doll of Slimer. How wonderful!
.Doreen> A lot of Jade's dolls are in The Slime Zone section at The GBFF.
.Doreen> Robin, I was curious about something: Why does the BHCIII credits list you *and*
another person as Floyd Fox?
RNAVLYT> There two of us that were performing each character.
RNAVLYT> In Beverly Hills Cop III> Liza was the other person doing the role. It was a lot
of fun on that film.
RNAVLYT> My husband was in that film as well. :o)
.Doreen> I didn't know that! What did he play?
RNAVLYT> Did you see the film?
.Doreen> On TV a while back, I saw it...now I wanna see it again ;)
RNAVLYT> When Eddie Murphy goes under cover as "Okie Dokie" he didn't want to get into the
costume for long periods of time. So they needed someone his height to be inside the costume
and record dialogue so Eddie could loop it at a later time.
RNAVLYT> And that was what my husband did.
.Doreen> That's cool! Nora (who's been a costumed character at 6 flags) was wondering:
Did you like playing Rocky (Rocket J. Squirrel) at Universal Studios?
RNAVLYT> I was there for two years. Yes, I loved the dancing in it. It really kept me in shape.
Talk about grueling, though. I think working with the kids was the best part of that job.
.Doreen> Nora says "You didn't get beaten senseless by them??? LOL!!! APARRENTLY, the costumed
characters at Magic Mountain get kicked and hit a lot.
RNAVLYT> Oh, you have your moments. Yes, actually I ended up in an emergency ward twice.
Part of the hazards of the job. But most people were fine.
RNAVLYT> But the times I ended up hurt weren't from kids. It was adults, believe it or not!
.Doreen> OUCH!
.AnneL> in the ER *twice*!? what a job... :o
.Doreen> I believe it!
.marla> Tara was asked to try & do a voice match for Rocky
.Doreen> June Foray was the original voice of Rocky...Tara is really lucky to be in the field.
I'd love to do voices, myself.
RNAVLYT> That's so cool. It's such a tough part of the industry to get into! I think it's
soooo interesting, too!
.Doreen> So, Robin, I'm glad you recovered from the "Rocky mishaps" - LOL, Nora says she
sympathsizes
RNAVLYT> Tell Nora we'll exchange horror stories later! :o)
.Doreen> Nora says COOL..OK!
.Doreen> Voice-over work is very popular now, very competitive
RNAVLYT> I mean just look at the animated features being made and the talent they're getting
to be in them.
RNAVLYT> Top stars are lending their voices to the films!
.Doreen> We love Disney's Hercules series, a lot of big stars do voices on it...it's fun!
.AnneL> there seems be a lot of cross-over with "regular" actors doing voice acting.
RNAVLYT> Did you see "A Bugs Life"? Wow! How awesome was that?
.AnneL> beautiful... though I did quibble about the ants not having the proper number of legs.
RNAVLYT> Anne, I didn't even pick up on that. Pretty smart lady you are!
.AnneL> I'm a biologist by training, Robin. I *always* notice things like that...
RNAVLYT> Anne, you go girl!!! :o)
.Doreen> I want to see that ..soooooo bad!
.Doreen> I got the toys from McDonald's ;)
RNAVLYT> It's amazing. I highly recommend it.
.Doreen> I'm fascinated with Hopper...and I really want to see the "bloopers" they have been
advertising
.Doreen> that's a fun concept...animated bloopers
RNAVLYT> If you see it, stay for the credits. Don't leave until it's all over!
.AnneL> the *credits* were hilarious! the audience laughed harder than they
did for the movie :)
1971> wouldn't it have been cute if they did that for Rugrats?
.Doreen> Oh Yeah!
1971> can you imagine Dil standing up & saying "that's it! i'm outta here"
.Doreen> The Rugrats Movie did extremely well...I even saw a take-off of the hiccuping Dil doll
on "Just Shoot Me" last night...The "Sneezing Charlie" doll
RNAVLYT> Will the commercialism never end? :o)
.Doreen> I think they were trying to "humanize" the ants
.AnneL> and I will say, I've never seen a bird seem so *scary* as in A BUG'S LIFE...
RNAVLYT> I think you're right, Doreen.
1971> me 2
.AnneL> liked the centipedes that were drawing the circus wagon too :) very cute!
.Doreen> The ants being the heroes, us people need to relate to them more, I guess
RNAVLYT> I find myself afraid to walk on the sidewalk now! :o)
RNAVLYT> I mean, I'm afraid of stepping on Dot!
.Doreen> The centipedes *are* cute...the caterpillar, Heimlich, toy I got is adorable
.Doreen> LOL!!! I love Phyllis Diller as the Queen, too
1971> i try not to step on bugs, too
1971> i used to play with spiders. (biological yo-yos)
RNAVLYT> Will you guys sign the "dreambook" on my page in the Ghostbusters Fan Forum?
(I'm feeling so unloved!) :o)
.Doreen> awwwwww....we love ya, Robin!
.Fan> Okie-dokie... :)
1971> we all love ya
RNAVLYT> awwwwwwwwwww shucks! :o)
.Sam Hain> I'll sign, if I ever remember... ;)
.AnneL> yeah... got to remember to do that.
.Doreen> The Guestbook at The GBFF went for 4 months between signatures...I guess because
people use the message board
RNAVLYT> Was it difficult starting the GBFF up, Doreen?
.Doreen> The site started slow and began to pick up in March...the one year anniversary was
Dec. 4th
.Doreen> Now there is over 20,000 hits on the main page...The fan fic archives broke 20,000
a while back...fic is the most popular item.
RNAVLYT> Congratulations, Dor!!!
.Doreen> thanks!
RNAVLYT> I'm going to go through some old photo bags. I actually may have a different batch
of photos for you soon, Doreen.
.Doreen> YaY!! Robin, you are TOO cool!!!
RNAVLYT> No prob. Like I told you before. I'm discovering photos from the film that I forgot
I had. It's been fun finding them!
.Doreen> Looks like Page 2 of Robin's Photo Album will be an upcoming item! :)
RNAVLYT> LOL
RNAVLYT> Dor, I have a video of a rehearsal the day Bill Murray was there.
I'll somehow have to show it to you sometime.
.Doreen> Oh boy!!! Robin that would be so neat!!!
.Doreen> If you can loan it to me, I can make some video captures of it
.Doreen> Wow...Robin, we've been in here almost 2 hours! Time flies in this chatroom!
RNAVLYT> hard to believe!! You guys have been so great to talk to!
.Doreen> Is there any other interesting / amusing stuff to know about your role as Slimer?
Or would you like to call it a night?
RNAVLYT> Is there anything at all that you guys would like to ask? I'm all ears!! :o)
.Doreen> Hmmm...let me think
.Doreen> I guess for clarity...did you say you could or couldn't see out of the costume..
like to walk, etc..or were you "working blind" & needed to be escorted to the set, etc?

(GHOSTBUSTERS/CJ)------ [7 in this area]
RNAVLYT> I could see, but it looked pretty funny when I was looking out. I had to have the
whole mouth as open as I could to see out. It looked pretty funny, so while I was shooting,
it usually was done blind. I had to know exactly what they wanted before we started shooting.
RNAVLYT> Again, lots of rehearsal.
.Doreen> :) Ah...that's why the food was falling in your face! The mouth! The rest of the
face seems somewhat blocked by the mechanics...at least in the pics.
RNAVLYT> Exactly, Doreen. and it was really hard to hear. It sounded like a wind tunnel
inside when the mechanics were on. I was constantly saying, "What?"
.Doreen> Did they use oversized props in any of your scenes, so that Slimer would appear
smaller than human size (as they did in GB1)???
RNAVLYT> Not that I can recall. The few props that I had to use were normal size.
.Doreen> Can you tell I'm reading 'Making Ghostbusters' for ideas, now?
.Doreen> JR, would you like to ask Robin anything about Slimer (GBII)???
.Sam Hain> Can't think of anything at the moment...
.Doreen> Robin, did you get any "souveniers" from ILM? Models or sketches or something?
RNAVLYT> Yes! One of my most prized possessions is a "maquette" or model of Slimer that was
made to test out colors for the director. I think there was only fourteen made. It's made
it through two big earthquakes. (whew!)
.Sam Hain> Cool!!!
.Doreen> Wow!! I'd LOOOVE to see that!
.AnneL> neat! I suppose it's made of something very fragile?
RNAVLYT> Well I think it's like an epoxy/resin type thing. but the arms and fingers seem
kind of fragile.
.AnneL> epoxy resin is very brittle, especially as it gets old. I've made stuff using it before.
** DRWAV2 just joined "Meet Robin Navlyt!!!" (7 members now) **
.Doreen> Welcome, Doc! Our guest tonight is Ms. Robin Navlyt, the actress that brought the
Slimer puppet to life in Ghostbusters II.
.Dr. WAV> Hi Dor!! Hello Ms. Navlyt
RNAVLYT> Hi!!
.Doreen> My former next-door-neighbor used to make lifecasts of famous people...he made wax
figures for mueseums...he put my feet on Dorothy (Wizard of Oz) and my Dad's hands on Clark
Gable (Gone With The Wind) :)
RNAVLYT> Yea, I had to have a lifemask made. Pretty scary procedure!!
.Doreen> I didn't even like just having my feet cast...I couldn't handle a face mask
RNAVLYT> I felt a bit uptight while they were making it. But they were great about it and
joked their way through it.
.AnneL> you just can't be claustrophobic... and it really helps having some talk to you.
.Doreen> So, I guess Robin, we kinda have a bit of Dorothy in common
.Doreen> though you *much* more than me
.Doreen> although you can still find my feet in the Hollywood Wax Mueseum ;)
RNAVLYT> I guess so! I played Dorothy last Christmas. That was like a dream role that I
just had to do.
RNAVLYT> LOL :o)
.Doreen> I love that film/story/etc - big time fave for me
RNAVLYT> Me, too!
1971> me 3
.Doreen> The Wizard of Oz is in theaters again! Gotta see it on the big screen!
.Fan> The 30s version?
RNAVLYT> I wanted to see it again and haven't!
.Doreen> Cinerama Dome would be a good place to see it...yup, Fan, the original film!
.Fan> Cool!
RNAVLYT> Is there any other questions? I don't want to leave any questions unanswered! :o)
.Doreen> Doc? You have any questions?
.Doreen> Doc is Asst Manager here at Delphi
