Blackbird



This comment is in regards to the person who played the murderess (Blackbird). I was wondering if there was anyone out there with some additional information on her, besides the very limited supply of information that is on www.imdb.com.

Back when the movie was made, she was a secretary to a lawyer. I believe one of them was in the film (as Richard's lawyer), and that's how she got the part. Just your average Joe, really.

Yes, but a realy cute average Joe!

Hells yes!
Man, I wish I could of found more info too, I came here looking for it and then was shocked to find that she had only starred in one film, that being this one. :(
Part of me thought maybe, just maybe, she might be a cult movie queen and been in a lot of B-movies and stuff. Unfortunately that wasn't the case.

One of the things that interested me with her was that she looked just like The Baroness from GI Joe. http://www.yojoe.com/action/84/84card/baroness.jpg

Which coincidentally, the voice actor who does the voice for The Baroness on the GI Joe cartoon, Morgan Lofting, is actually in this as "Police Dispatcher #2", and she's also the voice of the newswoman you hear reporting on Hollis' death. She even ends the story using her own real name as the newswoman's name.

IMO, Blackbird was one of the hottest women EVER!

Rita Rickard (Blackbird) also played a policewoman in H B Halicki's 1983 movie 'Deadline Auto Theft'
