*And, no I didn't read the article yet.*
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | April 18, 2006 at 09:10 PM
I bet her career is in the toilet.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | April 18, 2006 at 09:12 PM
Just remember, honesty is the 2nd best policy!

So what's the big dealio? I did that once, well, actually a bunch of times, and it was way before 1984. Of course, mom had to change my diaper. And it was never televised. So my bottom-line opinion: just another case of blatant resume puffery.
Posted by: random thunking | April 18, 2006 at 09:13 PM
Random-Good thought. She's all wet!
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | April 18, 2006 at 09:15 PM
Takes method acting to new heights...err....lows...
Posted by: AFKA tsktsk | April 18, 2006 at 09:26 PM
I'm guessin' this wuz a non-speakin' part, so that means she doesn't have her SAG card ... I'm doubtin' that her career is on the fast track ...
Posted by: O. the U(manity) | April 18, 2006 at 09:40 PM
her career started off with a trickle, but then there was a stream of offers to play other parts, such as drunk people pissing themselves and roles in depends commericals..
Posted by: lauren with a x | April 18, 2006 at 09:50 PM
random- I did that in 1984, well, only the last two months of it, I was born at the end of Oct.

"Mom! Dad! I got a part in a movie! Those four years at Julliard have finally paid off!"
"That's great, darling! So, tell, what's your character? How many lines?"
Posted by: scat | April 18, 2006 at 09:52 PM
Maybe she wasn't ready for the number one part.
Posted by: bbescuela | April 18, 2006 at 10:04 PM
The big news is that she got the lead in The Wiz.
The director said she was perfect for the part.
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | April 18, 2006 at 10:05 PM
Dave, I'd just like to point out that your phone situation could be worse. You could have an exploding memory card like the Disappearing German Whore Agent-Man from 24.
Posted by: John | April 18, 2006 at 10:06 PM
Of course this stunning performance left her hopelessly typecast, and since parts like these are not in hot demand these days, the poor thing had no choice but to take lesser known roles as "The voice of Angel #3" in the Angel Soft toilet paper commercials, and "Random pee' stained woman" on several TV hospital dramas and 495 episodes of "Law and Order".
BTW Lisa Bisa, you are too much.

*hands a Golden Snork award to Lisa*
That was priceless. Thank you!
Posted by: Marie in Kourou | April 18, 2006 at 10:32 PM
I did it in 1956. Of course it's only 2232 now.
Posted by: fivver | April 18, 2006 at 10:33 PM
*takes a bow in Marie's direction*
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | April 18, 2006 at 10:46 PM
Trillian-hopefully that's a good thing. ;-)
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | April 18, 2006 at 10:48 PM
I'm so happy for her that I wet myself.
Posted by: slyeyes | April 18, 2006 at 10:54 PM
I bet big brother was laughing.
I am certain that she wanted the non-credited part to never be revealed again.
Posted by: Alfred | April 18, 2006 at 11:10 PM
"woman who urinates herself"
...as opposed to having someone do it for her?
Posted by: puppytoes | April 18, 2006 at 11:12 PM
Lisa- Yes it's a good thing. I almost pulled an Anne Sellors.
Remember, when you're on a roll, take a moment to bend down and rip off a few squares for the random urinators of this world.
Posted by: TrillianAstra | April 18, 2006 at 11:26 PM
*snork* @ Trillian
Posted by: Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa | April 18, 2006 at 11:41 PM
Bravo, Lisa!
Posted by: Meanie the BlueK | April 18, 2006 at 11:57 PM
Sarah! Me too, except early October. Sweet.
Posted by: Adonis | April 18, 2006 at 11:58 PM
As an actress, what was her motivation? Consuming a six-pack?
Lisa -way to er, go!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 19, 2006 at 01:11 AM
Sarah! Adonis! Time for bed!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | April 19, 2006 at 01:12 AM
lauren with an x
I'm still laughing!
Posted by: thisbearbites | April 19, 2006 at 01:32 AM
Shed a tear for actress Anne Sellors
Whose role didn't help her find fellors
"Guys who saw 'Threads'
Ask if I'm on my meds"
And some pervs just can't wait to smell hers!
Posted by: insomniac | April 19, 2006 at 01:55 AM
Well the director may have thought she was perfect for the part, but she got pi$$ poor reviews!
Posted by: CoastRaven | April 19, 2006 at 08:25 AM
I'm not understanding how she didn't land a part in this film.
Posted by: spinner8 | April 19, 2006 at 08:47 AM
spinner8...she was drained by then.
Posted by: Olo Baggins of Bywater | April 19, 2006 at 09:04 AM
um, she didnt post her pic? how are we supposed to point and laugh???
Posted by: queensbee | April 19, 2006 at 09:26 AM
Dave: Too shy to be a stalker, so I just enjoy your columns from afar--WAY afar--somewhere in Ohio, fer sure! You columns are so much fun that I'm taking a chance reading them when I'm away from home--I make a fool of myself laughing! Keep 'em comin' pleeeeeeeeeeze!
Yours truly
Alias Crystal

Here is a link to the clip of Anne actually urinating herself (shame on me for never paying attention when someone describes how to create a link, so I'll just give you the URL and perhaps one of you kind bloggers can give me a quick Link 101 lesson):

Posted by: Tamara Rhymes With Camera | April 19, 2006 at 10:54 AM
... um ... wowser ... I guess ...
Posted by: O. the U(manity) | April 19, 2006 at 12:54 PM
Good to see all the money spent on majoring in theater was well spent
Posted by: American Idle | April 19, 2006 at 03:13 PM
bbescuela,
I thought that was number one?
Hey, it's hard to break into film, and everybody's got to start somewhere, right?
Posted by: Lmd33 | April 19, 2006 at 05:11 PM
"4 awards and 3 nominations?" It won an award it wasn't nominated for? I'll bet the nominees were pissed.
