Thanks for info.Im very curious. Anonymous says on 20/Jun/06
Glenn you can get Walkabout on dvd in the US, it's on the Criterion label. It's letterboxed non-anamorphic but with directors commentary. A great film with a beautiful John Barry soundtarck.

Were you sleeping outdoors? Larry says on 18/Jun/06
Glenn - I was nipped by a vampire bat in my sleep in Mexico a few years back. Little "sucker" got under my netting and got me under my left arem [in the pit!]. Didn't know until I woke up. They lap the blood up with their tongue & inject an "anesthetic" while drinking. I felt sore in the morning, then saw the blood. Unfortunately, I had to get rabies shots as a precaution.

Larry-forgive my ignorance,but I guess I missed the part about you getting bit by a bat.care to repeat again?.this cell phone can be hard to navigate past postings.thanks! Larry says on 14/Jun/06
Jason - Well, I don't THINK the vampire bat made me immortal, but I AM healing pretty quickly. We'll see if I become sensitive to sunlight? :-) Liked Van Helsing, very campy! The Wendigo movie WAS lame. I've heard Wendigo legends recounted by a number of different Native American tribes; sort of a shape-shifting wind demon. Interesting stuff. Oddly, it sounds almost Lovecraftian. Glenn says on 12/Jun/06
Jason-I have been fascinated by wendigos for 11 years when I read some obscure fiction paperback that was published in the early 80s that scared the hell out of me,I wish I can find the copy in my house or remember the title.yeah but that movie sucked.shame cause I met director.his other movies are good.never saw Van Helsing.Im not crazy about any remakes. Jason says on 11/Jun/06
Hey Glenn & Larry, I also love the old Universal monsters. One of my favourite movies is the new Amityville remake. And Van Helsing!! I pretty much love anything with vampires or werewolves or ghosts or witches etc. as long as it doesn't suck (defintely no pun intended!). I rented out this horror movie called ''Wendigo'' (made in 2001) on the weekend, and although I'm interested in Windigos (if you don't know, they're a mythical Native American monster, kinda like a giant cannibalistic ogre - though their form can vary), it was one of the lamest movies I've ever gotten out...! Possibly THE worst. Sorry, I missed your question here for ages, Glenn. Despite being Australian I've never seen Walkabout, though I think I know the movie. It isn't a horror movie. Larry, the vampire bat bite (ouch( didn't make you immortal? Come on, you can't tell me it had nothing to do with you surviving that accident. ;) Glenn says on 10/Jun/06
Thanks for the tip Larry! Larry says on 10/Jun/06
WALKABOUT is (or WAS) available on DVD. I have a VHS, which is no longer available, to the best of my knowledge. Glenn says on 8/Jun/06
Can I get it on tape or DVD? Larry says on 8/Jun/06
Glenn - WALKABOUT was an Australian movie about two Anglo kids (one was Jenny) rescues buy an Aborigony (sp). It's circa 1971-72. Glenn says on 6/Jun/06
Was Walkabout a horror movie? Larry says on 6/Jun/06
She was indeed in AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON & a lovely lady. She was in an excellent movie called WALKABOUT. Jason, Glenn - Yeh! I love horror movies too, especially monster movies! I guess I own almost all of The Universal Monster Classics & many of The Hammer Films. I've spent many happy hours with REAL wolves (as opposed to WEREWOLVES) and was EVEN nipped by a vampire bat once in Central Mexico. Sadly, it did NOT make me immortal, but I DID have to get rabies shots! :-) Editor Rob says on 16/May/06
I have added a picture of Phil and Jenny, recently Phil is 5ft 7.5. I think they have similar walking shoes on here. Glenn says on 15/May/06
Whats your favorites? Jason says on 15/May/06
I like wolf movies. I love monster/supernatural etc. movies, but not into the gross stuff! Glenn says on 14/May/06
I own 1000 horror movies. Glenn says on 14/May/06
Wasnt she in AMERICAN WEREWOLF?
[Editor Rob: yes, you like wolf movies?] Anonymous2 says on 13/May/06
I met Jenny again a fortnight ago and have a photo of her standing with me. I'm 5'7" and she a fraction shorter.
[Editor Rob: can you not send me the picture?] Anonymous says on 27/Jan/06
I met her last year...she's about 5'4"/5'5" LOGAN5 says on 13/Dec/05
If you watch Spooks he really isn't that tall but he's still slightly taller than Jenny in Equus. I could well believe he's only 5'7" because he's certainly less than average height. He's naked in the scene with Jenny which means that's a real height difference. According to this site Burton himself claimed to be 5'9" and maybe that's a Tom Cruise 5'9". Sally Thomsett is famously only 4'10" and Jenny is virtually a head more than her in The Railway Children.
[Editor Rob: it is very feasible Jenny shrank a tad now...but Burton is supposed to have been actually measured for his waxwork, back in the day when a few stars supposedly had this done ;)] John says on 8/Dec/05
If Jenny is only 5'6 then how tall was her "Equus" co-star Peter Firth? About 5'7, meaning Richard Burton was 5'7? L0GAN5 says on 10/Jul/05
There is no way Jenny is this tall. My friend is only 5'7" and he said they were eye level and she was wearing boots when he met her.
I met her once and I estimated about 5'5" or 5'6".
I reckon my friend rounds up so she's probably no more than 5'6". I was surprised at how petite she is in real life.
[Editor Rob: ah, you are correct. I checked some photos and saw her beside some 5ft 7 people and didn't look taller...I downgraded her] |
