very small early roles for future stars
Tom Miller
I just saw "The Lavender Hill Mob" and was quite proud of myself to
recognize Audrey Hepburn in a very brief role early in the movie as
one of the South American girls thanking Alec Guiness for his party.
She has maybe 6 seconds of screen time and one barely audible line.
This led to think of other very tiny parts of future stars, (maybe
this is where they got their SAG cards) and I thought of:
Richard Dreyfuss in the Graduate (one of the housemates in Katherine
Ross' house at Berkeley. Standing behind "Mr. Roper") maybe 30
seconds of screen time and one line.
Kevin Costner in Night Shift (one of the guys in a conga line at the
morgue's frat party) Maybe 5 seconds of screen time and no lines
excpet for maybe a "woo hoo".
I also thought of Marilyn Monroe in All About Eve, but the character
appears in more than one scene and has several lines, so I say she
doesn't count.
Any other thoughts of future megastars in ultra tiny early roles?

Check out Richard Dreyfus, earlier the same year in "Valley Of The
Dolls." At the end of the film he's the young man who who knocks on
Neely O'Hara's dressing room door. Tom Selleck has a couple of lines
in "Coma." Marilyn Monroe's one line in the Marx Brother's "Love
Happy." Tom Cruise's few lines in "The Outsiders."
It's also interesting to see child actors who became leading men.
River Phoenix and Ethan Hawke in "Explorers." C.Thomas Howell in
"E.T."

I saw Bruce Willis on late night TV giving a plug for Nobody's Fool. The

Verdict. Look at all that hair!
I just watched All About Eve, and although I know this was not her first
screen appearance, Marilyn Monroe looked stunning as Miss Casswell. Same
with her appearance as the kept woman in The Asphalt Jungle. Much more
beautiful than when she became popular.

You know what would be really neat? If some current mega-stars would
take minor roles in new films.
Also, something I've always wanted to see is a movie made with two
big-name stars in the two leading roles, then the same movie remade by
the same actors, only playing the opposite leading roles! We don't
usually think of actors as being actors, you know. We think they're
picked for the fit between their usual screen personalities and their
roles. But there actually are some pretty fabulous ACTORS out there, who
could play any roles.

OK, I've always wanted to ask this group this question. In the early 80's, I
saw a bad movie at the drive-in called "<something>: Adventures in the
Forbidden Zone", which I'm sure starred Molly Ringwald when she was young,
probably a teenager. I can't remember the first part of the title of the
movie, but I'm sure that was her. It was a very strange sci-fi movie and had
a villain who didn't have any legs, and the bottom part of his body was a big
mechanical arm. I know I'm not crazy, but does anybody else in the world
remember this movie???

Could you imagine having both parts committed to memory? Often classical

Absolutely: SPACEHUNTER: ADVENTURES IN THE FORBIDDEN ZONE, originally
released in a headache-inducing variation of 3D, was one of Molly
Ringwald's earliest roles. (She had a better early role in Paul
Mazursky's TEMPEST, around the same time.)

You are not crazy. "Spacehunter: Adventures in the Forbidden Zone"
came out in 1983. Michael Ironside also had a role in this sci-fi

his first appearence on that show as well.

I was a theatre major in university--that's what theatre actors tend to
do--it's an exercise as well as a hobby because these actors love the
script, and the idea of pretending, so much. I know twin brothers who do
the same--I know dozens of people who do the same. But Hollywood? not on
THEIR time, baby.

I had the pleasure of seeing Othello on Broadway several years ago. It starred
Christopher Plummer and James Earl Jones, and I don't recall them trading
roles. 8-). I am waiting fot the new Othello to see how Lawrence Fishburn does.
His best role so far, IMO, is In Search of Bobby Fisher.

Soory if this is a repeat, I missed the start of this thread.
How about Kevin Costner in The Big Chill? You can't get a much smaller
role then that. After the cutting was done, all that was left of
Costner was his arm in the opening scene.

How 'bout this one. Sally Kellerman in "Reform School Girls" (1957), an
early teenage, gang bang drive-in feature. She looked like a heavy
boned brunhilda in that one, with sleazy makeup and huge lips. I almost
didn't recognize her at first until she opened her mouth and that
familiar, throaty voice of hers came out. She still sounds the same.
Tyne Daley in "Angels Unchained" (1970). Standard low-budget biker
flick. She was a lot thinner then. No 'Lacy' there.
Jack Nicholson in "The Cry Baby Killer" (1958). Whaaa...! Whaaa...!
One of Jack's best films and with his (then) baby-face, he looked the
part too.
Robert Vaughn as "The Teenaged Cave Man" (I think). I saw this one a
long time ago where he spends the whole film, wrestling with actors

Actually, Brad Pitt had already done "Thelma and Louise"
and "A River Runs Through It" when he did "True Romance".
In fact, "Kalifornia" came out around the same time, so
I guess rather than "future star" he was sorta "up and
coming" and doing a cameo.
Good list, though - I didn't know about James Woods!
