Does anyone know who the actress is who plays the wife in the Lou Jacobi transvestite sequence? It's not in the movie credits, and it's not even in the extended imdb credits. I know it's not Elaine Giftos, that's the wife in the Gene Wilder sequence. Too bad, I love her delivery of the last line.
shareThis is the same question I have! Someone please answer! Who played Tess? I thought she was cool.
shareI want to know the actress' name, too (even though she's surely dead by now). Probably some NY stage or soap opera actress who took the job for the money, but maybe had 2nd thoughts about having her name in the credits and asked to be left off the cast list.
I thought the twist at the end of this segment was going to be that she was really a he who liked to dress up as a woman, too (like Jacobi) but just pulled it off way more convincingly.
Interesting... it never would have occurred to me to wonder who played Tess, but upon seeing this 11 year old thread I thought "I'm sure this will be an easy fact to find via modern google techniques." Nope. The answer is NOT out there. I wonder if she ended up deciding the movie was disgusting immoral trash and demanded her name be removed.
