Worked on the film - ask me anything.


I worked on the film "The Entity" as Barbara Hershey's photo double/stand in, and also played "the receptionist" in the opening credit sequence. I was present through-out the entire shoot, and many strange, odd, and interesting things did occur. The effects were very well done and involved for the era. If you have any questions regarding the production and behind the scenes details or the low down, feel free to ask, I just may tell all.

what was it like working with Ron Silver?

reply

Don't offer anything if you're not going to go through with it. Kinda lame and make you look like a fake.

reply

I once had a house like carlas it had windows and doors ask me anything about it

reply

Imadalian passed away in the last year or so.

reply

And you know this how???

reply

We had many PM's and I didn't hear for ages. Then a friend of her's that was reading all THE ENTITY stuff sent me a PM that told me she passed. I have since deleted my posts. I feel bad.

reply

I had several PMs with her as well and found her to be less than willing to share much info. Strange because she began the thread by saying she'd "tell all." Well, I have no reason to disbelieve you but I'm skeptical at the same time. Hope it's not true.

reply

I don't know what else to say Triumph7. This was ALL so long ago.

reply

Hmmm.

I don't mean to be disrespectful if in fact this person is deceased, but I'm very sure that lmadalian is Lisa Marie Adalian (credited in The Entity as Lisa Marie Gurley).

She just joined this website in late November and per the site - has been active in the last week:

Hope she is in fact well and with loved ones this holiday season.

reply

I still have her email address. I've sent a message to her to confirm or deny this rumor. I believe she is in fact who she claims to be but she really never shared much info on her Entity filming experience either here on the board or in PMs. If I don't hear back we can assume she has passed or maybe isn't interested in any discussion. Ironic because she initiated this whole thread. I'll keep interested parties posted on what I find out.

reply

Well it's been almost a month since I sent her an email message but no response. It didn't bounce back undeliverable so it went through. Any conclusion can be jumped to regarding an unanswered email. It's obviously not evidence that she's dead. We'll just have to leave it at that.

reply

Or she's full of Sh*t? She only replied to one comment.

"Hear me now! This place is cursed, damned, and yes your master is the devil!"

reply

Possible. Not likely though. I did have an email exchange with her and she seemed legit, just kind of scattered. We'll never know unless she makes a return appearance which probably won't happen. I wish her the best regardless.

reply

She is indeed deceased now: http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/thetimes-tribune/obituary.aspx?pid=17 1824904

She seems to have been quite religious which may have influenced her interpretation of unusual events on set.

Re: bearplaster's post - LOL!

Colonel Angus: Well thank you Miss Anabelle. And if I overstay my welcome, just tap me on the head.

reply

reply

Idiot.

Somebody needs a cuddle

I have a question. There are many people who CLAIM to have worked on a movie or have been an extra etc. Unlike these people, can you actually prove that you did? Please, enlighten me.

"Hear me now! This place is cursed, damned, and yes your master is the devil!"

Proof with set pictures of the actual person claiming these things being there or its a lie. Its so easy to say things online and claim them to be true.
No proof = no belief from my side sorry.

reply

what was the real carla morans reaction to the film ?

reply

Did this film make you a believer in all the unknown?

reply

Yeh, sure you did. Do you have proof of this?

reply

Umm, you realize the person you're complaining to has been dead for over a year?

reply

Umm, you realize the person you're complaining to has been dead for over a year?

reply

And how would I know that?

reply

Try reading the thread, it helps. A couple of posters had private e-mails with the lady, then they suddenly stopped. As someone else posted.
