I knew a girl who looked exactly like Kira! :)




Seriously! Of course, Kira was only a puppet.
But, I knew a girl who looked identical to Kira! Same ethereal look, and hair. The day that I was introduced to her, I laughingly mentioned it to her. She smiled and said "You have no idea how many people tell me that." Then she "bowed" her head like the Gelflings do in the film and started saying some Kira lines from the film.

She even SOUNDED like her!

Photos please! :-)

I don't have any photos myself, she was my cousin's friend. We all used to hang out together sometimes a few years back.

I'll ask my cousin if she has any photos :)

reply

oh yeah, we have to see photo's of that, too cool!

I loved this movie when it first came out, I was 8 then, my wife just bought it for our boys. Gotta introduce it to a whole new generation!

reply

I fancied her when I was younger...sad I know

reply

Hell, I think every 7 year old boy did then. LOL

reply

Heh... I'm a girl and I took a fancy to her.

I think it was the wings. That movie made me believe that I could fly.

It also made me realize that girls are better than boys. Because we have wings...

OMG. ME TOO!! lol.

I'm not even kidding. She even says, "Because I'm a girl..." when Jen asks why she has wings and he doesn't.

How freaking perfect is that?!

reply

Must see pics, must see pics, fiatlux...I adore Kira and I still do :)

I used to live next door to a girl when my 1st hubby & I lived in Mainz, Germany, who also looked like Kira. My neighbor's name was Chris - I can't remember her last name now -that's been like 19 years ago. :)
I never told her we thought she looked like a Gelfling, but we mentioned several times to each other. lol

The guy in the bottom left looks like Jen(from the movie) and the person(not sure if it's a guy or girl) in the top right looks like Kira a little bit. lol, that's funny.

Don't run with sharp objects.

Check out Rebecca De Mornay in her youth (example the Tom Cruise movie, Risky Business). She is the spitting image of Kira.

reply

I watched this for the first time today (amazing film BTW), and I was sure I could see Rebecca De Mornay in Kira.

reply


As a theater-goer at that time, and ever since, I always _assumed_ Kira was modeled directly on Rebecca De Mornay.

reply

You know, I've never seen "The Dark Crystal." But a friend of mine always called me gelfling. Something about my ears?

Gelflings exist! Two of them! Their names are Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen.

reply

omg yes! i came on here to see if anyone thought that too.

reply

Anna Walton (Nuala in Hellboy II) has a gelfling-like look to me.

reply

But the one and true gelfling has to be Joanna Newsom. Oh dear, I've said it now!
