RIP Sue Casey

Los Angeles–Actress and Hollywood extra Sue Casey, who appeared in more than 85 productions between 1945 and 2002, died Feb. 21. She appeared in such well-known films as “Annie Get Your Gun,” “An American in Paris,” “Showboat” and “Paint Your Wagon.” She was 92.

MSTies will remember her role as scheming Anne Duval in the movie in episode 204- CATALINA CAPER.

There have been, surprisingly, no actual press obituaries (so far) but there is a long, loving tribute by, I assume, a family member at Legacy.com. It’s worth a read.

There’s also an unusually lengthy biography at the IMDB.

Thanks to Timmy for the heads up.

Weekend Discussion Thread: MSTed Movies That Could Be Video Games

Duke of Puddle opines:

What MSTed movie would you make into a video game (platform? storyline? RPG?, MMO?)
I would personally do ‘Girl in Gold Boots” as a fighter ala “Street Fighter.” I could see using some of Buzz’s icky elf mojo attacks on Critter or the ‘Eats’ dad. But really much more like hair oil attacks vs. Critter’s patented ‘water softener’ finishing move and well … you get the idea. i’m more of an Xbox-er so that would be my console.
and who knows? after a few hours you too might remember how you had a pretty mind.

I am not a gamer so I still have a pretty mind, but those of you who are can have at it.
