BREAKING! Jo Addie will be joining us tonight on “Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner” to share her reminiscences of “Somewhere in Time” (1980). A series of happenstances led Addie to appear through most of the film as an extra. During her three weeks on the intimate shoot on Mackinac Island, she got to know everyone pretty well, and she’s full of anecdotes about cast and crew, including actors Christopher Reeve, Jane Seymour, Christopher Plummer, and Teresa Wright, writer Richard Matheson, and director Jeannot Szwarc.
Addie is also longtime president of INSITE (International Network of Somewhere In Time Enthusiasts, founded by Bill Shepard in 1990). In this capacity, she hosts “Somewhere in Time” weekends at Mackinac’s Grand Hotel, conducts interviews, produces documentaries, and oversees the publication of the society’s fan magazine.
Furthermore, I love the fact that her husband, Jim, worked for many years as an audio engineer at Chicago’s classical music station, WFMT!
Join us on a sentimental journey to 1912, by way of 1980, when we meet up “Somewhere in Time,” on the next Roy’s Tie-Dye Sci-Fi Corner. Time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like a banana, when we livestream on Facebook, this Friday evening at 7:00 EDT!
