hair and make up

choreographers are valid



if people are dancing at all ,in any kind of show a choreographer or person to stage the movement is quite important..everyone interprets audio directions differently. It is always brilliant to have an outside person directing the movement.
We were actually pretty together..except for me! because that day I got the microphone, the whistle and the sparkly hat !!!

thank you Marybeth and Gordon Mackay

for coming to Vermont and videoing my act and posting it on you tube and getting me the gig

rigging change



it was suppossed to look poor and worn , it was in the depression
they beat up our costumes

the risley boys were so poor they had buttons instead of jewels

cookhouse




























made just for me



















nothing makes you feel as loved and popular as Hollywood dolling you up

the big screen






David Hunt is the slack wire artist in the BIG movie!

He was my spec partner, perhaps in the script we were some kind of a couple both being featured artistes.

The production was some kind of I dream of genie, harem, turkish,oriental deal.

In spec we walked behind the Zebras !! that was exciting!! that part didn't make it to the big screen but iron jaw and drunken slack wire did...


The amazing costume designer Jaqueline and her assistant Gail made me beautiful wings because they had seen my act and knew that I was a wing kind of gal. I loved that they had made me wings.

I brought my own wings and a headpiece with me because they are security blankets and I thought for sure my teeth were going to fall out and I would be doomed and miss my big shot.

I showed them my wings and headpiece and they were very sweet and said they were lovely .I felt like such a quack dork,what kind of person would bring there own wardrobe pieces to a movie ????

However I saw RW talking about her charecter on the HBO special and how she would have made her own costumes..so I suppose that was life imitating art or art imitating life or is there any difference?
