I was an extra on the film

I was 'school girl' extra on "The World of Henry Orient" and I have to tell you that Tippy and Merrie had to run around in that winter clothing (fur and wool coats) in AUGUST in NYC! I was from California & had never experienced such awful humidity and heat. It was amazing to watch them act without showing the slightest hint of being uncomfortable. I was only 13 at the time but I remember that experience well.

I'm a bit late in responding but I don't check my ImdB Message Boards and I guess I should! I was a school girl walking down the street with other school kids. I remember standing on the sidewalk in between takes and it was so HOT and a nice woman who lived in one of the apts took pity on us and gave us ice water. :)
