Being fidgetty of nature I can't watch a film without simeoultaneously googling it, and one thing I was curious about was what Kim 'Hatchet Face' McGuire looked like without all her makeup. And then whether she was dead or not, as one of the only pictures of her on the net is from www.findadeath.com. (She aint, the guy who runs the site got a fan pic of her and anecdotally linked it into a different actor's obituary, unfortunately with the tag 'www.findadeath.com' stamped right across it, so has inadvertantly sparked off an urban myth that she has died. Well, I assume it is an urban myth, there is no other evidence of her death online)
As Hatchet Face in Cry Baby
With Johnny Depp back in t'day at some sort of premiere I would imagine
Screenshot from 'It Came From Baltimore' the bonus documentary on the DVD which could have saved me a lot of googling.Other interesting point of note is that when Traci was facing arrest, to make her feel better, the cast and crew all admitted what they had been arrested for in the past. ("Grand Theft Auto!" "White Slavery!" and "Kidnapping! But not really I swear!" were apparently among them, which doesn't seem that comforting to be honest) The young and slightly naive Amy Locane, feeling left out because she hadn't ever been put in the clink, turns to Patti Hearst, (in a cameo role as Traci Lord's mother) and asks 'but you haven't ever been arrested, have you?'

shurely shome mishtake ed? I remembered that quote from somewhere. Following extensive research (google) it looks like it was actually attributed to Dorothy Parker, who from quick wiki sound like quite a funny writer. Also coining this classic:
'When asked to use the word 'horticulture' in a sentence: You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think'
Top points for Wikipedantry, but it's not a mistake...it's what he said. The fact that he is quoting Ms Parker is an added bonus factoid!
