Just watched this movie today on TCM. In the scene where Woody is being "reprogrammed" I noticed that one of the beauty pageant contestants looks just like Gilda Radner. None of these actresses are credited nor included in the IMDB long list of uncredited actors. This was just two tears before SNL made it's debut so it's not unlikely that she may have had some uncredited bits in various movies and TV shows.
Does anyone know for sure if this is her?
That's not Gilda Radner. I see the resemblance, though.
shareThis was on TCM yesterday and I had the same thought, but no, it's just an actress with a passing resemblance to Gilda Radner, not Gilda herself.
Also, at the time this movie was made, wasn't Radner doing improv onstage with Second City or some other group, not acting roles? I thought that's how she was recognized and recruited for SNL.
The bigger the government, the smaller the citizen.
Thank you for your reply. I too watched this movie on TCM on Sunday with my brother and while the resemblence is quite striking, we both agreed that it wasn't her after all. But Gilda did appear in "The Last Detail" starring Jack Nicholson and her name appears in the closing credits. Both movies came out in 1973.
