A 15-year-old Oprah Winfrey?!

Did anyone notice that one of the limbo dancers in the Jamaican cantina scene looked surprisingly like a young Oprah Winfrey? I had recorded this, and after replaying the scene (not exactly High Definition) several times I ran off to Google and here to find out if it was even possible. I found out that Oprah would have been 15 at the time, and I noticed that the dancers from that scene aren't even credited here at all, not even as "uncredited". But... could it be? Nah....

Even a tiny bit of research about Oprah's youth, would show she was nowhere near Hollywood or Jerry Lewis when she was 15.

According to her IMDB biography she was at school in Tennessee when she was 15.

People on imdb who claim "I SWEAR that's (fill in the blank) in this movie!" usually prove to be idiots
