the smartmouth girl with glasses near the beginning


She was such an *beep* smartmouth, so I'm glad Gillian shut her up by giving her a nosebleed and telling everyone she was pregnant. When she was bleeding, Gillian should have told her, "Stop screaming. There are more mature ways to get attention."

that was Hilary Thompson, who is perhaps best known as the girl Greg Brady flirted with on The Brady Bunch when they went to the amusement park in Cincinnati.

She did a very few other things back then, mainly appearing as Veronica in a live action Archie Andrews program I've always recalled, then seemingly vanished.

I've always remembered the girl in glasses from The Fury and wondered who she was and came here to look her up, as well as it was Daryl Hannah behind her.

That's Sada Thompson's daughter - Sada played the mother on the show Family.

Did not know that! Thanks for that bit of info.

Thank you! I was wondering why she looked so familiar :)

I'm glad to see interest in Hillary Thompson's brief role. When I first saw The Fury several years ago, i thought she looked quite familiar and I assumed it must have been in television work. I'm glad someone reminded me about The Brady Bunch episode. That scene at the girls school is probably my favorite in the movie and makes me wish Gillian wasn't wisked away from there so quickly. All the actresses interact with each other well: you momentarily believe they really are girls in close quarters who know each others vulnerabilities. And Thompson plays the bitch so well it's a little hard to stop cheering when Gillian unleashes her powers on her.

That girl with the glasses in the movie I still cant stand her. She immediately starts a fight with Gillian over the whole psychic/telepathic and/or telekinetic test with the train.

Ignorant people like the girl with the glasses always gotta start something then they end up getting hurt.

The way I see it, in The Fury movie universe, she probably learned her lesson and eased up on the next gal who has abilities.

That and she was pregnant
