Incidentally, there's an actress in the film--she has a speaking part--who was regularly on a local news program in Portland, Maine, when the film was being shot. I think her name was/is Dixie, and she's the rather loud woman with dark hair, a good tan, and glasses. We see her in the room when Quint arrives and later on the beach.

You mean, "I don't think that's funny - I don't think that's funny at all. I'm sorry."? She was great.

One thing I really miss about Spielberg's early films is his use of non-professionals as opposed to character actors and up-and-comers. SUGARLAND is chockablock with colorful, *interesting* bit players, as is JAWS.
