My mother was in this film, and I need help

My mother was an actress in this movie when I was little and we lived in Vancouver, BC. RoseAnne (Nawny) Owen played one of Candice Bergin's schoolmates. She considers this one of the highlights in her life, especially the one on one scene she did with Jack Nicholson where he collides with her in a stairwell and her books go flying everywhere. She was sad that that scene was edited out of the movie, but she has long dreamed of having a memento of her work in the film. As her 70th birthday is approaching, I want to make her wish come true and am desperately trying to find someone who has access to even the cut scenes from the film, so I can somehow get a still photo of her in the film to frame. She volunteers each day taking care of and comforting people who are dying of cancer and I would love to thrill her if i can manage it. If anyone can help me with this I would be so grateful.

I just came upon this film in a book called World Film Locations Vancouver. It's actually really cool to hear someone as big as Nicholson filmed in our then little city back in 1971!

Instead of hunting on the forums, there may be some leads in this book. I would try to contact a David Hauka (member of Capilano U's film faculty), he wrote the article for Carnal Knowledge and seems to have ALOT of connections with the studios.

What you are trying to do is so heartwarming and sincere, I really wish you the best of luck :)
