She played Shultzy.

I certainly forgot to put her in the post. Shame on me.

Crikey mate, no shame in it at all!

I see you know about IMDB. Handy db.

Not just handy, but essential... at least for me. I often use it to
remember who was where when.

It is probably one of the most valuable Internet resources for movie
lovers. It works for TV shows as well. I have a computer in the
family room that I often use to look up the cast in a movie, or a TV
show.

I used to watch the credits, but anymore, the idjits-in-charge
squeeze the credits to one side, or to the bottom, and put an advert
in the biggest part of the screen. I am not able to read them when
they are squished so much.

As a film lover, I was one of the few that watched the credits in a
movie theatre. I watched them for two reasons; I was interested in
who was where when, and I wanted to let all of those people that are
in such a gosh awful hurry about everything, to get out of the way. ;)
