My mother had an improvisational theatre company in San Francisco that began in 1966. Before making the film, "The Candidate," Robert Redford had seen the group perform and was so impressed with the talent that he hired many of them to play roles in the film. Though my mother was the director of the company, she had also been an actress and Redford put her in the movie as well. She had one line and it was, "As I always say, handsome is as handsome does." When the director shouted "Cut!" Redford said, "Is that all she gets?!" The director said, "Yeah, it is," and Redford replied, "That's too bad.""The Candidate" is a wonderful film and my mom rocks in about 8 seconds of it.

My brother is the second dead guy on a hillside battlefield for about two seconds of "Bob Roberts"... just enough time for the entire family to embarass themselves in a darkened movie theater by standing up and shouting "look, there's Ivan!"
