edisaurus - if you do a search I'm sure you'll find it - but I've written about Monique Vermont, who played Amaryllis in the film, several times over the years - she's in my third book, the final part of the Kritzer trilogy, because I attended an acting class with her. Well, someone who knows her told her about what I'd written, he wrote me to tell me that she was delighted, and then one fine night she called me, and we had a wonderful chat.
And guess who just sent an e-mail to me via Kritzerland? Diane Baker, that's who.
