    Thanx for the update on Mia!
    I can't choose between "Legend" or "Ferris Bueller's Day off"...she was just so exceptional in both and indeed, displayed a wide array of talent in just those two movies.
    She definitely chose the most important path in life...being there for her Family.
    On behalf of your fans, Dave, I can say that none of us ever want you to quit what you are doing.
    You help bring life back to old memories, you update us to what the actors of those memories have done over the years and help to complete our collective "picture" of it all.

    Wow, she still looks amazing.

She was in 1995's 'Black Day Blue Night' and 1996's 'Undertow' as well. Y'know Dave i purposefully avoid all social media platforms because i don't find them the least bit interesting, but sometimes i regret that because i see all the stars and celebs like Mia that have postings there and how much i would love to communicate with them and share my thoughts on their classic films and let them know how much their movies meant to me, but i still just can't bring myself to joining. Thanks for the memories of Mia and letting us know how she's doing. as always, it is much appreciated.

  • @jpboursaw4469
    @jpboursaw4469 Год назад +9

    Favorite Mia Sara role is still Harley Quinn. Mia played against type. That of the supportive girlfriend. She was brought in as a replacement for Sherylin Fenn, who played Harley in the unaired pilot, but didn’t seem to gel for whatever reason. Reshoots were made, and the rest was history. Would’ve liked Sheryl come back as the other Gotham Siren, Poison Ivy. What might’ve been…Still, Mia had her own interpretation throughout most of the Birds of Prey series and we were fortunate to have it!

      Thought I'd bring up a Birds of Prey reference that isn't common knowledge. David Jannsen portrayed a radio station traffic reporter who got caught up in an escape from a robbery. The bad guys moved from ground transportation to a big helicopter and the pursuit continued in the air. Jannsen was a WW2 fighter pilot and was using a Hughes 500 in the job. The people who made the movie came up with some incredible flying between the two helicopters, including inside a hangar. At the climax, the baddies were trying to kill a detective and Jannsen rammed the other Bird, with the scene flashing to his fighter as he saved the man on the ground. I believe it was a TV movie. Definitely should be available on RUclips.

And in Ferris Bueller you were the intriguing actor who performed perfectly.
