Some days working here at USA Volleyball you get unique calls....

I thought this one should first go to the 'net, to see how fast a response
could happen from RSVers. This is legit. Here is what Ellen Parks Casting
sent me today after a pleasant phone conversation...

TO: All Volleyball Coaches
FR: Ellen Parks - Casting Director for Miramax (Division of Disney)
Feature film called "Flirting with Disaster"

We are doing a talent search for a set of female twins (18-24) who play
volleyball, for speaking roles in a film that will be shot in the Phoenix area
in March and April of this year. These roles would require a single day of
work, and some preliminary rehersal time.

If you know of any girls who are twins, who are very pretty, bubbly, and
outgoing who would fit the description of "California Girls" (perferably kind
of tall, and fair or blonde) please contact have them contact me by phone or
fax as soon as possible.

(212) 315-9800 Phone

Got it? I am also faxing this posting to Volleyball, San Diego Juniors, the
Arizona and SoCal JOV rep and commissioners, Dave Rubio at U of Arizona and
Patti Snyder at Arizona State, and Dale Hoffman of the CBVA.

Let's get some talent and twins on the court for Disney this spring.

John: What about the basketball-playing Bunge (spelling?) twins from U.
of Virginia? I thought at least one of them (either Heidi or Heather--not
sure about these names) was going to play volleyball at U-Va last fall,
but I don't know who was on U-Va's roster fer sher. They're about
6-foot-5. Is that too tall?? ;-)

How about the Strand sisters; Lisa and Kelly whatever-their-last-names-are-now?

They may be outside the age limit, but, what the hell?

Bingo!!

Kerry and Katie Haggard of Reno, Nevada. They both played at University
of Nevada, Reno for Paul Lenae. I believe they're about 22 years old now.
They're identical twins, both blond, bubbly, very fit/athletic bodies,
very personable & intelligent, and please tell them that Barb Belding
suggested them! They're alot of fun, and good players, indoors or
doulbles. Good luck! Please contact them anyway -- they're very pretty
and I think would enjoy it!!!!

I can get their numbers for you if you need.
