    something Bishop...I think

    Stephen Bishop did the music for "Animal House" but I was unaware that
    he had a cameo as the staircase guitar player.

    yeah thats it ! Stephen Bishop....

	Did he  do a song titled something like "I fooled around and fell
	in love"? 

	j.b. 

    no, that was Elvin Bishop.

    
    Steven Bishop did "On and On" around 1977-78, I believe.

    didn't Steven Bishop do the theme song for Tootsie also ?
    
    Bob

    
    Yes.....and "Save it for a rainy day" was another of his hits.
    
    And what was the comedy film comprising a load of different sketches?
    "American something or other"? He did some music for that.

    	"Grand Canyon"
    

Those are probably the best known, but not all her other movie roles:

Garbo Talks (1984)
Matewan (1987)  [Elma Radnor]
Tiger Warsaw (1988)
Dances with Wolves (1990) (S:AAN) (S:GGN)  [Stands With a Fist]
Grand Canyon (1991)  [Claire]
Passion Fish (1992) (AAN) (GGN)  [May-Alice Culhane]
Sneakers (1992)  [Liz]

You can also see her playing Rose Baumler in the TNT production of
Arthur Miller's The American Clock (played late last month).

    Thanks.
    
    Jon, what's your source?  Is it generally available?
    
    Mel

Regular readers are probably tired of seeing this -- my source is the
USENET databases.  See note 5.10 for details on how to either acquire
the complete database or (better) how to use the E-mail server to
answer specific queries; details in the last paragraph of 5.10.

Can someone please tell me what the name was of the character Nicole 
Kidman played in "Far and Away"?

thanks

    first name was shannon, I believe.  Does that ring any bells?

    I don't know the answer to this: Who played the corpse in _The Big Chill_?
    
    Face never showed. Name not in the credits, as far as I could see.

> I don't know the answer to this: Who played the corpse in _The Big Chill_?
  
I'm 95% sure it was Kevin Costner. I remember reading an article about him
a little while ago and it mentioned this.

alan

    I am 100% sure it was Kevin KLINE
    

>    I am 100% sure it was Kevin KLINE

Ooops, could be! I just remember it was some relatively famous actor now,
in his first "role". Costner came to mind, but I wasn't positive...

alan

    Absolutely, positively for sure, it was Mr. Costner.
    
    Lawrence Kasdan, the director of THE BIG CHILL, didn't like having to
    cut Kevin's role for TBC, so he promised him a "good" role in another
    movie. That role was Jake in the movie SILVERADO, which was definitely
    one of his best roles.

    	Wasn't Kevin Kline the host for the weekend? 
    
    	Thought it was, but I could be wrong.

    	>Wasn't Kevin Kline the host for the weekend? 
    
    Yeh, but wasn't he dead?  Oh, sorry, that was weekend at Bernie's.
    

    re .28, yes, Kevin Kline starred in The Big Chill.
    
    Lorna
    

    > Yeh, but wasn't he dead?  Oh, sorry, that was weekend at Bernie's.
    
    NOT! Bernie was Terry Kiser, I believe.
    
    In THE BIG CHILL, Kevin Kline and Glenn Close were the hosts for the
    weekend. Mr. Costner was Alex, the dead guy.
    
    Catherine
    

    
    >Mr. Costner was Alex, the dead guy.
    
    
    	Poor guy.  Little did he know that he was setting the stage for the
    	rest of his acting career.

    Not sure where else to ask this, but can anyone confirm or deny that
    Wendy Hiller died some years back?  I seem to remember hearing that,
    but the latest reference books (1994 World Almanac and Halliwell's
    Filmgoer's Companion 10th edition) do not give a death date for her.
    
    Richard

    She was alive at least a couple years back.  She had a small part in a
    British television adaptation of the P.D. James mystery "A Taste for
    Death".  I'm not what year it was made, but the novel can't be more
    than five years old.
    
    - Dave

Whatever happened to Vera Ellen?  You may remember her in "White Christmas."

    Vera-Ellen died in 1981 at age 61. She made only one movie after "White
    Christmas" ("Let's Be Happy" in England in 1956).  Some of her other
    films were:
    
    Wonder Man (1945)
    Words and Music (1948)
    Love Happy (1949)
    On The Town (1949)
    Three Little Words (1950)
    Call Me Madam (1953)

I've been trying to remember the title of an old Abbott & Costello movie and
decided to finally turn to this file for help.  I remember very little about
the actual plot, other than Abbott & Costello and their female costar were
ghosts from the Revolutionary War, and I think they lived (were trapped?) in
a wishing well. I remember that it was a very charming film where in the end
they were somehow set free.

Thanks in advance for any help!

    RE: A&C as Revolutionary War ghosts
    
    "The Time of Their Lives" [1946].
    
    - Dave

    
    That was/IS my favorite older movie!  I have seen that about 10 times.
    I would love to see it again, thanks for bringing it up.. I will have
    to look for it in the vidoe store.

re: .38

Dave, thanks so much for remembering that movie title; it was driving me nuts!
Thanks also to the Sources topic (5.1) which recommended Viewfinders.  My
video club doesn't carry that movie, but Viewfinders can get it for me even 
though it's not in their catalog.  I'm looking forward to seeing it again.

     Please help if you can.....
    
    It's a late 1950's or early 60's film...with George C. Scott as an
    expert 'wheelman/driver' for the Italian syndicate. He comes out of
    retirement to help someone 'escape'...it gets complicated with a pretty
    young lady etc. He (scott) has a very interesting relationship with his
    car....a vintage BMW...it's a cult type film.
    
    A 'car-guy's' kinda picture...any idea of the name ??
    
     Jp
    

...here's the relevant part of Scott's filmography; maybe one of these titles
will ring a bell for you or someone else.  My bet's on either "Rolls-Royce" or
"List", but I haven't seen either one.

  Anatomy of a Murder (1959) (S:AAN)  [Claude Dancer]
  Hanging Tree, The (1959)  [Grubb]
  Hustler, The (1961) (S:AAN)  [Bert Gordon]
  "Power and the Glory, The" (1961) (mini)
  Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1963)  [General "Buck" Turgidson]
  List of Adrian Messenger, The (1963)  [Anthony Gethryn]
  "East Side, West Side" (1963)
  Yellow Rolls-Royce, The (1965)  [Paolo Maltese]
  Not with My Wife, You Don't (1966)

     nope, no bell there...I thought it was "The Driver", but a friend
    rented this and it wasn't !
    
    It may have been early 50's ??
    
    thanx for the help

    What a coincidence! My wife was describing this movie this morning, she
    had just taped it off TNT: 
    
                             "The Last Run"
    
    Steve H.

    
    	"The Driver" was a Ryan O'Neill and Bruce Dern movie from the
    	70's.
    
    							GTI
    

Knew I should have included a few more lines...

Oh, and The Driver was from 1978.

    re  .44
    
    That's it....thank you, and your wife. It was/is a great movie. Wish I
    had known it was on TNT !!!!  :>(
