Well, not trying to sound bigger than my britches, but I was in 'NxNW'!

I was an extra, and in a few scenes inUnion Station in Chicago. I was a child model and was called for those scenes. I was only 5, so my mom was in the movie as well! As my husband is fond of saying, 'I had my 15 minutes and was washed up at 6!

Hitchcock remains my favorite filmmaker, and I'm not prejudiced!😌

Fun fact.... when they filmed the Mr.Rushmore scene, the faces in the mountains were actually paper mache, and flat on the ground, the actors crawled around on them and the resulting footage was turned 90 degrees so they appeared to be hanging by their fingers in a nose or whatever!

When Cary Grant walks out of the men's restroom where he had been shaving, I am walking past the doorway, with another little girl, I'm the shorter one! : )

I would post a still photograph but I don't think it's doable on Substack?

Yeah, unfortunately that's not an option, but if you hit "reply" to the next TAFM email, and attach your photo, it can show up here.
