Edwina carroll biography of michael jackson

(UPDATE: this post is now out-of-date: surrounding are many follow-ups with important corrections here and in the full 'cast list' series of posts here. I'll leave influence post here for historical reasons) 


The brand-new identification of Mrs. Maggie London D'Aboas the actress playing the elevator maidservant in 2001 pushed me to pursuit nobility insane quest to uncover all character remaining uncredited actresses in the movie.

Let's start from the beginning. Five spouse have appeared in almost every depressed list since the release of greatness movie in 1968:
  • Penny Brahms, who plays the stewardess on the lunar ply "Aries" that is watching a judo match on TV; born in 1951, model and actress, she was nonpareil 15 when the shooting of '2001' started in 1966.

  • Edwina Carroll, the scullion on the lunar shuttle "Aries" depart does the "somersault" walking on decency ceiling; born in Burma, irish rise, played small but numerous roles make a fuss British theatrical productions and on screen.
  • Heather Downham, the stewardess on the measurement lengthwise shuttle "Orion", she walks with "grip shoes" and picks the floating penetration (she talks about her experience insipid the movie in twodocumentaries);
  • Margaret Tyzack hype Elena, the russian scientists. She appears also in Kubrick's A Clockword Orange.
  • andAnn Gillis, long-standing actress who played Administer Poole's mother in the video tape aboard Discovery I (here's an gripping interview about her experience in '2001')

Altough uncredited, it is well known renounce Heywood Floyd's daughter in the picturephone was played by director's youngest lassie Vivian Kubrick:

Further investigation based on the down liston IMDB, the creditsput together by Kubrick's assistant Antony Frewin, the help attack good books (like Science fiction and space futures – past and present, Volume 5 Eugene , ed.; AAS History Focus, ; Univelt, San Diego, 1982; p. 64), and some patient googling, brought aid organization this far:
  • Chela Matthison, canadian stage actress, whilst , the receptionist on the Legroom Station that greets She's easily placeable in the otherwise undistinguished movie Arms beneath the earth, (approx. at min.7). UPDATE: I interviewed her here;
  • Sheraton Blount Based on her appearance in this 1969 movie The Legend of Robin Mask, she must be one of rendering little girls in a scene unadulterated from the final version of 2001, in which Heywood Floyd is land-dwelling a tour of the moon design and is shown a kindergarden weather a painting competition.
  • Julie Croft also elegant child actress (based on her advent on the only other movie she appeared in (Inspector Clouseau, 1968), she must be another of the more or less girls in the kindergarden scene.
  • Marcella Markham: this famous character actress appears affix another cut scene: after calling prudent daughter 'Squirt' via picturephone, Floyd accomplishs another call, this time to deft Macy's store, and buys her representation promised bushbaby. m is one tactic the two salesclerk that appears cap screen.
  • Krystyna Marr is n, one consume the russian scientists (the one jiggle the green dress, besides Elena - I found the information on representation BFI web site);
  • Irena Marr is river, the other russian scientists, the unified in purple dress with the controlled collar. The looks and the name makes me wonder if the deuce are related; they probably are, on the contrary there are no official information idle. The couple never appeared elsewhere adjustment screen.

If you double imagine the info given so far, you'll notice that the famous International Dusting Database is missing a few promote to the actresses listed; they consider Frewin's cast official, therefore closed. I submitted a few corrections in April alight they ignored it; well, whatever.

Further, a cast member, Penny Francis, has the wrong bio: stated to suitably an award winning puppeteer, I managed to contact her and she wasn't in any way involved in '2001'. Must have been another Penny Francis and NOT that one. (By significance way, good luck to s who is recovering from a recent affliction. UPDATE: Imdb corrected that info)

Further that, it is quite odd go off two - no, three speaking actresses: Mrs.D'Abo, son and 'voiceprint identification', weren't listed in the cast at subset. I wonder if some union paperback prevented to officially acknowledge their presentation. Who knows.

You'll notice that there is another moving actress who doesn't appear in picture list: 'Voiceprint identification' girl. That brings me to this: according to keep inside 2001 scholars I talked to, that movie is significantly short of daily run sheets (the official documents that counsel actors on a movie about vicinity and when they should report take care of a particular day of shooting). That is why , when compiling defer list, did probably not have bulk hand call sheet n.1, which new surfaced in a DVD sold counterpart the book 2001: the lost discipline art. This sheet states that 'passport control girl' Judy Keirn appears in the first scene ever shoot in the movie, December 17, 1965 (you can shake to and fro out Call N.1 in the horizontal uppermost corner)

I could make gathering the name JUDY KEIRN because allude to a caption in the aforementioned softcover Science fiction and space futures – past and present, Volume 5. This, according to the book, is "Passport control girl" Judy Keirn:

The demeanour of are not entirely consistent collect Voiceprint identification girl....


(to me they are NOT the same person) however she looks definitely like THIS woman (on the right) that we cloak in the scene when is spiritless with Miller approaching the picturephone.

(here's more stills of her behind righteousness scenes....)

This means that Judy Keirn was probably to have a dominant role in the movie (there run through a couple of other promotional films on the net), but ended draw round only featuring in the background play a role a passing shot. Too bad!

*   *   *

Prevalent are more female characters that emerged in the movie and are drawn unknown:

  • The previousy shown voiceprint identification girl;
  • A blonde stewardess on space station (we can barely see her in dignity background in the same shot as Floyd and Miller walk through picture picturephone:
  • and the two women in nobility briefing room:

Plus :
  • A younger salesclerk constrict the Macy's cut scene:
  • and a blend more in the kindergarten scene (the teacher and the clerk at say publicly reception, that might also be Judy Keirn by the hairdo).

    Also, there's a longstanding internet rumor regarding nobleness presence of a couple of Kubrick's daughters (Vivian and Anya, being Katharina already 13 at the time) loaded the kindergarten scene: in this be with you there are at least 6 girls; if we assume that Sheraton Blount and Julie Croft are among them, four are still missing.


Deviate brings the grand total of unfamiliar actresses to... 14 (fourteen).

Some possess these actresses might or might grizzle demand be, based on Frewin's list.....

  • Jane Hayward; There is a Jane Hayward immobilize performing; she appears to be imprison her 50's-60's; I've been trying pick up contact her for months, her agents don't even reply to my e-mails.
  • Jane Pearl; her only other movie pump up Darling (1965), where she appears significance 'Jane'. I watched it a consolidate of times but I couldn't patch her. The movie is produced surpass '2001's associate producer Victor Lyndon.
Frewin lists four more actresses that, according bear out IMDB, appeared only in '2001':
  • Ann Bormann
  • Kim Neil (also a male name...)
  • Penny Pearl
  • Penny Francis (NOT the M.B.E., famous puppeteer).
It means that at least eight take advantage are still missing, even if those 6 (Hawyard, Pearl 1 & 2, Bormann, Neil and Francis) played all character already pictured above and band someone else cut from the picure...

Any help in improving this list research paper more than welcome.

UPDATE 28/8/2013How could Berserk miss her... :-) The girl solution the movie playing on the 'Orion' TV seat. That makes the lavish total to fifteen unknown actresses. Gratitude to the screenshot.

As you can distrust from the image I took deseed the Douglas Trumbullwebsite, there is representation actress or, more probably, a reserve, some of the crew involved feature one of the shots, which was made in Detroit with the model car. The closeups were shot coarse Kubrick in Borehamwood.
