Question
my second cousin Madelyn Rhue appeared in this movie, and i wonder if you can let me know her other ones...thank you....alan goldberg

Answer
Dear Alan:  I assume you mean Madlyn Rhue?  The actress who passed away in 2003?

If so, she appeared in a ton of television shows (including several westerns, "Star Trek," "Ironsides," "Fantasy Island," various soap operas, etc.) as well as some feature films, most notably the one you've listed, plus "He Rides Tall" (1964), "Stranger on The Run" (a 1967 TV movie), "The Manhunter" (1972 TV movie), "Stand Up and Be Counted" (1972), "Poor Devil" (1973 TV movie), "The Sex Symbol" (1974 TV movie), "Fantasies" (1981 TV movie), "Games Mother Never Taught You," (1982 TV movie), and "A Mother's Justice" (1991 TV movie).  

The full list of her 8 page filmography, both as an actor, and as herself, is listed on the Internet Movie Data Base, under Madlyn Rhue (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0722599)

I hope this helps you.

Expertise

I am a professor of communication at a midwest university, who has expertise on subjects related to film. I can answer general questions on U.S. film comedy (especially satires of the 1960s and 1970s) and comic theory. I also could answer questions related to specific comic genres, such as comedian comedies, screwball comedies, "stupid" comedies, and so forth. The more specific you can make your question, the better (e.g. main plot details, main characters, possible character names, possible actors, how you viewed the show, etc.). I also need to have a release date (or range of dates, or at least the year you viewed the film). Please do not just provide a set of links to someplace else (e.g. imdb discussion threads). I am less able to answer questions about comedies from other countries, made-for-TV movies, and recent comic films and actors (although I would do my best to find out). I cannot answer questions about specific TV shows or series, "Our Gang" episodes, anime/magna or about film collectables. I generally cannot provide movie recommendations, since what I find funny others may not. Nor will I answer obvious homework (although I will point you to resources to help answer the question, if asked). I also can't help you find movie stars, or where to buy movie memorabilia, or tell you how to break into the business.
