Whatever happened to Maggie Mcomie, actress with Robert Duvall in THX
1138 or whatever it was.  Her only film role, and she does not appear
in Google aside from the film.  No agent shown in my paid agent finder
site.  Did she die?  Give up acting?  A very strong and insightful
performance, in a famous film with a famous actor - it seems strange
she just vanished.  Changed her name?

According to imdb.com ...

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0574114/

She appeared in "The Making of 'THX 1138' (2004)" (V) .... Herself

But would you believe that one of the GA Researchers is called thx1138-ga?

Maybe ?????

Hello kilboj

Yes, a true classic (hence my Google Answers name) that doesn't seem
to have had the acclaim that it deserves.

It does seem that this was Maggie McOmie's only film, what she did
later seems to be a mystery.

"This was the only film credit for Maggie McOmie. She also brings
greater depth to LUH that you would think was possible."
http://hometheaterinfo.com/thx-1138.htm

"Perhaps most interesting of all is hearing the obscure Maggie McOmie,
the female star, talk about her one and only film role, 33 years ago,
as a bald woman in a George Lucas film."
http://www.fakes.net/thx1138.htm

"IN 1971, a 27-year-old George Lucas released his first theatrical
film, "THX 1138," a feature-length expansion of a 15-minute short that
he'd made as a student at the University of Southern California. It
may be set in a chilly, antiseptic future, but "THX" is a
quintessentially paranoid reflection of the culture wars of its time,
a tale of young rebels (with bald pates rather than long, hippie hair)
defying an authoritarian state. Robert Duvall plays THX 1138, a worker
in a robot factory who awakens to the forbidden joys of love and sex
when his roommate, LUH 3417 (Maggie McOmie, in her first and only
film),"

Very best regards

I've now added this movie to my Amazon DVD Rental List.

It's available now but it's at the bottom of the List, so it will be
some time before it arrives.

Unless, I move it up the List ...

I shall have to ponder.

It?s a little difficult to provide you with the information you need
without breaking GA?s personal information restriction. In 1992 the
Los Angeles Times reported that ?After taking several years off to
raise her daughter, McOmie is again working as an actress and is now
writing a screenplay.?
She was still alive in 1999 and may have been a domain name owner of a
clothing business in 2001.
No information to show that she is currently acting.

When 100% of your known screen work has been in the role of bald
female, you get type casted, and there aren't many roles like that.

Yul Brynner did OK, so why not a female lookalike?

Imagine ...

Maggie McOmie in the "The Womenfolk of the Magnificent Seven".

The original seven get captured and the womenfolk ride to their rescue.

Wow ... That could be a HOT property!

Great flick - There used to be a page at
http://www.massivemastering.com that had some neat audio comparisons
on SFX from THX & other Lucas greats.  I can not find it now.  May be
hidden or gone.
