Guest guest Posted October 31, 2001 Report Share Posted October 31, 2001 All, lee and I talked about this show and we thought we’d post our correspondence so each of you checking it out could have the info we have. We felt it wasn’t the choice for us, even though any publicity is good publicity for an entertainer, because we feel it, in all probability, would cast little people and mixed couples in a bad light. RE: we want you ASAP Hey Marty, We are looking for some sort of conflict...not necessarily within the relationship. We actually prefer to find a really strong couple between a little person and an average size person. We want the conflict to be within possibly the family or loved one. For example, do you have any family or friends who have given you or your wife trouble, grief, or problems because of your " mixed marriage " ? We want a couple to come on and confront them. Loved the website by the way! Warmly, Associate Producer " Talk or Walk " Sorry, no interpersonal conflict here. My kids love lee, her folks and family love me, my ex thinks she's the best thing since sliced bread and I'm completely in love with her. The only conflict we seem to have is with the entertainment industry which chooses to view her, with all her talent and charisma, as an object of curiosity rather than as a living feeling human being who could play any role that any person of average stature could. They chose to make their casting choices based on what they assume would happen rather than simply opening their eyes noticing the very positive supportive reaction that her audiences give her and responding to that. They see her and other little people as objects merely to attract an audience through, oh, say conflicts and onstage drama perhaps (isn't that what you plan to do?), rather than through talent and abilities. Well I guess that's one way to get an audience and keep a show in the black, isn't it? I think we'll pass on your show. Marty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
