977.0. "Escape to/Return from Witch Mountain" by BUSY::SLABOUNTY (Got into a war with reality ...) Mon Dec 04 1995 12:30

    
    	Kim Richards ["Hello Larry", "Tuff Turf"], Ike Eisenmann, Denver
    	Pyle [Uncle Jessie from "The Dukes of Hazzard"], Donald Pleasance
    	["Halloween"], Bette Davis, Jack Soo [from "Barney Miller"].
    
    	Kim and Ike play Tia and Tony, brother/sister from another planet
    	who are in an orphanage and have no idea who they are or where
    	they came from.  But they are not "normal" ... they are telekin-
    	etic and somewhat psychic.
    
    	Denver is their Uncle Benet [spelling?], and Donald and Bette
    	play the "bad people who are trying to use the kids' powers for
    	evil purposes" in the 1st/2nd movie, respectively.
    
    	These movies are 15-20 years old now.

	Actually, Denver Pyle was only in one (I forget which - I think "Escape to..."). Someone else played Uncle Benet (sp?) in the other movie. -- Nina
977.2		BUSY::SLABOUNTY	Career Opportunity Week at DEC	`Wed Dec 06 1995 09:32`	7
	Are you sure? I just saw the 2nd one the other day and I'm almost positive it was him. Let me check, and with any luck I'll be back in a few min- utes.
977.3		HUMOR::EPPES	I'm not making this up, you know	`Tue Dec 12 1995 18:29`	8
	RE .2 - Yes, I'm pretty sure two different people played that character in the two movies - I happened to see both movies within a relatively short period of time (a few weeks) and I remember thinking/noticing that in one of them it wasn't Denver Pyle. But I can't tell you which one... :-) -- Nina P.S. So much for being "back in a few minutes"... :-)
977.4		BUSY::SLABOUNTY	Act like you own the company	`Thu Dec 14 1995 10:06`	6
	Well, I said "with anu luck". And I had none. 8^) Nothing on the WWW that I found, and Mason/Porter don't list the character.
