And Sungenis' name doesn't appear on the company info page, either. It's Hollywood, after all. Lying is what it's made of, and they're all professionals. It's not at all surprising that Mulgrew says she had no idea. What comes out the end of the process often has *no* resemblance to what went in to the beginning, and the contracts expliclitly allow that, even if they make the actors looks stupid (one of the contest shows - The Voice? - recently kidna made the news for a contract that said that outright in so many words, until the Hollywood pressp ointed out the rest of the press how normal and universal such clauses are.) -- Terry Austin "Terry Austin: like the polio vaccine, only with more asshole." -- David Bilek Jesus forgives sinners, not criminals. --- Synchronet 3.15a-Linux NewsLink 1.92-mlp * Origin: Forte Inc. http://www.forteinc.com/apn/ (1:2320/105.97) --- SBBSecho 2.12-Linux * Origin: telnet & http://cco.ath.cx - Dial-Up: 502-875-8938 (1:2320/105.1) .
