shareNell Campbell, the original Columbia.
shareNo way!
shareWow..they made Nell look like Betty Davis...
If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions.share
Are you sure that's Little Nell?
shareNevermind, not her. Whoever it is isn't credited. Maybe a random convention goer from the original? She does look vaguely familiar.
its actually Jayne Eastwood.
shareThat would have been a nice touch but I don't think producers or director were that clever. Would have liked to see Little Nell again.
shareDefinitely not Pat Quinn I saw her just a year ago. Still looks great.
shareDid anyone else wonder if the projectionist was Meatloaf? I couldn't find that he was credited at all.

I have a hard time believing they'd keep it a secret so it's probably not.
I was wondering that too.
shareIt sure could be. I thought makeup looked "fake old man"

Swing away, Merrill....Merrill, swing away...share
I was wondering who that was too. Thought it might be someone from the original cast.
shareShe's his Butler and her name is Jayne Eastwood. She's Canadian.

Thank you!
shareJayne Eastwood. She is a veteran Canadian comic actress performing since the early seventies. Funny lady.

I think she was only added as they wanted Tim Curry involved in the production, however due to the lack of mobility from his stroke,they could only cast him as the Criminologist, however he was unable to turn the pages of the story book or demonsrate the Time Warp as the Criminologist did in the original. It's sad, I really love Tim... did not like this production though.
Whoever she was, she was hilarious demonstrating the Time Warp.
Janet! Donkeys!
