While on stage in 3rd<\/sup> grade, Laurene had parents cheering her loudly for her femme fatale role in a play.\u00a0 That moment she knew she was destined to be an actress.\u00a0\u00a0 At the same age she also realized she won\u2019t be a singer, as you\u2019ll see below.\u00a0 However, Laurene is a gold medal winning lyricist.<\/p>\n

Not only did we love her in Larry Cohen\u2019s Manic Cop 1 & 2, she entertained us in \u201cHundra\u201d and made us laugh in Airplane II and \u201cAll the Marbles.\u201d \u00a0Laurene\u2019s website and IMDB lists the many other films she\u2019s entertained us in.<\/p>\n

Five Quick Questions with Laurene Landon<\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

When you moved to the U.S. from Canada when you were just 4, what acting did you do up until your first role in a film?<\/p>\n

LAURENE:<\/b> The first acting I did was as a child pretending to enjoy the peas on my plate. Instead, I would swallow them whole with water or dump them on the floor when my dad or mom were too busy throwing plates at each other to notice. I acted in some plays in school, and later before doing film did some theatre – – one of which was BABES IN TOYLAND, playing Little Bo Peep. I had to sing and remember the entire audience holding their ears and wincing—at the time I sincerely thought they all had ear infections. Of course it was my voice.<\/p>\n

Do you still write and do you have anything in the works?<\/p>\n

LAURENE:<\/b> I co-wrote an outrageous screenplay entitled JAILHOUSE DOG with the effulgent au fait auteur Larry Cohen. It’s based on the little known fact that some penal institutions in the United States currently permit the inmates to foster pets — namely dogs — and that the induction of these animals into the prison community has lowered the level of conflict, violence, and has been an unadulterated triumph. One of the lead characters, Rochelle, is a wild, wacky, unyielding and lovable animal rights proponent. The other is Ramsey Lord (R. Lorde), an interim loser warden whom all the inmates make a jack ass of. The story takes place in a white collar prison \u2014 it is man and his best friend. Dog movies are always a smash at the Box Office and we are endeavoring to get funding for this project which is near and dear to my heart. In actuality, Rochelle is me. The subtle, underlying thematic echo is RESCUE–DON’T BREED FOR GREED. Think Pawsitive and rescue!! Another concept I came up with is a Superhero character–THE PRAYING MANTIS – A TREATMENT.<\/p>\n
