AAAAAAAGH! Someone else out there loves "Local Hero!"

Completely useless trivia: In the scene where Burt Lancaster is walking out of the office building while police cars pull up to the curb out front, the building used for the filming is the Texas Commerce Tower (since renamed the JP Morgan Chase Tower) in Houston Texas -- and I'm standing in the lobby watching them film the scene...

...and the young lady playing the receptionist is Betty Macik (aka: Betty Macey) formerly of Angleton, Texas and the former girlfriend of Randy Quaid (She played his wife in "Bound For Glory" with David Carradine.)

Betty owned a Mynah (sp?) bird with a good vocabulary and it loved to eat strawberries.

Funny you were there, did you happen to meet or know Betty?
