Brandy???


The IMDb credits claim singer Brandy (Norwood) has a role in Arachnophobia. I just watched it again and didn't see her, and frankly, anyone black would stick out like a sore thumb in this film. Although IMDb claims her role is uncredited, the version I streamed has "Brandy" (no last name) listed in the ending credits as playing a character named Brandy Beechwood. The Beechwood family in the movie, however, is white, and is comprised of two parents and three kids: Bunny, Becky and Bobby. No Brandy.

Interestingly, there's even a biography (granted, unauthorized) of Brandy that details her auditioning for the role, filming it and seeing herself on screen with three lines of dialogue: https://books.google.com/books?id=3vFuAwAAQBAJ&pg=PT30&lpg=PT30&dq=brandy+norwood+arachnophobia&source=bl&ots=w8EI0Ehfwq&sig=aPrzdqbjJzfMKCbEuZrN3hc5eM0&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi599Wa_-TOAhUIz2MKHaqRAKQ4ChDoAQgoMAI#v=onepage&q=arachnophobia&f=false.

Has anyone every noticed her in this movie? (If so, I must be going crazy and/or blind.) The only other option I can think of is there's a deleted scene (which perhaps explains how she's related to an all-white family)???

this is old but hopefully it helps. its an error. i found some discussion elsewhere. basically, the kids name was just brandy in the credits, and ppl linked it to Brandy the singer.

Is she in the actual credits on the movie? If not, then obviously a fan must have put her name on IMDB by mistake.
