Elaine Miles of 'Northern Exposure'!


It's Marilyn! Why isn't she listed in the cast?! She and Barry Corbin co-starred on "Northern Exposure", and she's instantly recognizable, especially her sweet voice.

Let's hope they update the cast to include her.

I've only just started watching the film, so I don't know if she'll have more than the opening scene. This has got to get at least one thumbs up from me because of the cast~Elaine, Barry and Don S. Davis!

Wow. Marilyn got Wyverned. I did not expect that.

"What are you guys looking at?" *SPLOOSH*

It surprised me, too! I guess it's greater glory to have a wyvern-inflicted death than to be merely a minor character. She got to be a deputy! I'll bet she went into the office and sat there till they deputized her~the way Marilyn became a receptionist. *snicker*snort*

We're Elaine/Marilyn fans in this household! "It's hiiim." (Chris's pheromones)

Loved it! Heard her voice and instantly looked up.

I did the same thing! I was answering something on Y!A Movies when I heard a very familiar voice. Mom and I both said at the same time, "It's Marilyn!" *giggle* Too bad they couldn't have gotten more cast members from "Northern Exposure" to be in the film. I'd LOVE to see Darren Burrows co-star with Billy Drago (his father)!

All-in-all, I thought it was an entertaining movie, with some catchy lines and with a heroic role for Nick Chinlund for a change. After all the criminals and weird fellows he's played, I thought he did a great job in this movie! Maybe he'll start cropping up as an action hero.

Now, if we'd only have Elaine back in a series or more movies... She always makes me smile. Where was she for "Men in Trees"?!

Thanks for the info. I was thinking that was Sadie Buck.

To answer your question. It may be one of two things.

1. She presently doesn't have an agent to make sure she gets the credit.

2. It was a non-union project. Actors who are members of the Screen Actors Guild will do non-union projects for work/money but they won't take/get credit for it.



You can trust me - I'm a movie producer.

Elaine has such a distinctive voice and manner of speaking, and she simply is adorable! Even my non-movie-fan mother immediately recognized her. I figured that she isn't listed because they didn't get full credits for the film yet, as that is it's premiere. But, I would have thought that she'd be as instantly recognizable as Nick Chinlun, Barry Corbin or Don S. Davis. I'm a third-generation film buff, so I tend to assume that people know actors and actresses on sight.

Maybe they'll add her credit yet. Now, I need to go see if she has an IMDb site and that "Wyvern" is mentioned there, at least on the forum.

I did a double take when I looked at the IMDb page and Ms. Miles wasn't credited there, either. I cross-referenced to the Elaine Miles page and Wyvern wasn't listed as one of her films. Maybe she didn't want to be credited?

reply

She is credited, at least now.

Sometimes stars make guest appearances, and are not listed for legal reasons, or maybe their publisher wouldn't approve, and they are simply doing a friend a favorSource:Movie Reviews - Wyvernhttp://moviereviews.noskram.com/2009/12/movie-reviews-for-wyvern
